It was in last August, Sunday 3th (and not on the 4th like written on the video), we went to the North Sea for only 1 € per person on the railway. Some summer days the regional railway company has its days of goodness. There were much wind as you can see. So that we can hear it on the video, you shall get also the sound of the waves and my voice singing these folk-songs of french flemish country which Edmond de Coessemaker was written down from the popular mouthly tradition in the middle of the 19th century. He put them in a book named "Chants populaires des flamands de France".
I cannot all the words by heart, so that I'm sometimes singing only the tune, all a capella.
You can hear :
"Wel Island geen bedroefde kust", a song about the women waiting on their husband gone to the Island fishing, a shepherd song about Cecilia and Florian, "Ik zaa Cecilia komen", a song which sounds a little like "The Moldau" of Smetana, some joke songs like "Jan, mijnen man" and "Jan de mulder" and "Een kalamenden ook", the bell song of Dunkerque, the town from which you see the beach of Malo-les-Bains at the high tide, and the fotos of sea-birds I made just before. Dunkerque is the most Northern town of France, at 51° North, and means Duinkerke which means Church of the Dunes. These songs are also popular in North of Belgium where they have the same tradition.

  • Une grande diva? Oh non, c'est trop pour moi! Tout ce que je demande c'est de faire entendre un peu ma voix, et de ne pas quitter ce monde sans qu'on la connaisse, après la postérite décidera! Quand on a un talent, il faut l'exploiter, même si c'est pas mon métier. Pour la chaîne dont tu parles, j'ai pris un abonnement, alors on me voit juste sur le devant, alors, je n'ai pas besoin d'en faire plus sur cette chaîne : ceux qui ont envie cliqueront dessus!

  • Dommage que l'on entende autant le vent ! Mais une chose est certaine... tu as une très jolie voix...Envoie une de tes vidéos sur la chaîne ou tu m'as vu (talent nationaux) ! Ça vaut le coup d'essayer...Bise ma grande ! Tu as l'étoffe d'une grande diva.

  • kunnt oostfreesland ween, ik bün mi dor ne heel sekker

  • Merci beaucoup, Marguerite!
