Photo montage of Oscar-nominated French actress. The song is "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg", music by Michel Legrand and lyrics by Jacques Demy (also director of the film). This version is sung by Jessye Norman, accompanied by Michel Legrand.

Depuis quelques jours je vis dans le silence
Des quatre murs de mon amour.
Depuis ton départ l'ombre de ton absence
Me poursuit chaque nuit et me fuit chaque jour.
Je ne vois plus personne, j'ai fait le vide autour de moi
Je ne comprends plus rien parce que je ne suis rien sans toi
J'ai renoncé à tout parce que je n'ai plus d'illusions
De notre amour écoute la chanson.

Non je ne pourrai jamais vivre sans toi.
Je ne pourrai pas, ne pars pas j'en mourrai
Un instant sans toi et je n'existe pas
Mais mon amour ne me quitte pas.

Mon amour je t'attendrai toute ma vie
Reste près de moi, reviens je t'en supplie
J'ai besoin de toi, je veux vivre pour toi
Oh mon amour, ne me quitte pas.

Ils se sont séparés sur le quai d'une gare
Ils se sont éloignés dans un dernier regard.

Oh je t'aime! Ne me quitte pas.

  • For some reason, I find Catherine Deneuve much more attractive and womanly in her elder days than in her younger years. There's just that seasoned glamorous look of a classy woman that is brought out as she matured over the years.

    Just like a fruit that is left unharvested on trees until the flavor became so intense that one bite will knock the sweetness out of you.

  • there may be a woman more beautiful than Catherine Deneuve, but I doubt it.

  • touching...

  • Moriría por ser como ella.

  • @tranzenic I agree! I also think that Princess Grace of Monaco was more attractive in her later years than when she was acting in Hollywood movies. For her and Catherine Deneuve older maturiity was becoming.

  • So beautiful ... belle.

  • j'ai regardé je ne sais combien de fois le film " Sauvage " avec yves montand. Catherine y est superbe

  • I'd LOVE to hear Jessye sing the English version. Would you please, some day, my diva?? You would be singing what's in my heart...

  • i am a hongkong local Chinese, i am searching the "I will wait for you" and found the woman in the above clip is very pretty even she is ... quite mature ...
