BOURVIL - SALADE de FRUITS, song released in 1959, composed by Armand Canfora&Noël Roux, lyrics by Noël Roux.
André Bourvil, born André Robert Raimbourg (27 July 1917, Prétot-Vicquemare, France -- 23 September 1970, Paris) was a French actor and singer best known for his roles in comedy, most notably in his collaboration with Louis de Funès in La Grande Vadrouille (1966).
Biography: His father was killed in the First World War before Bourvil was born. As a result, he spent his entire childhood in the village of Bourville, the name of which inspired his stage name. He married Jeanne Lefrique on 23 January 1943. After a battle with Kahler's syndrome, which attacks the bone marrow, he died at the age of 53. He is buried in Montainville, Yvelines.
In his comic performances Bourvil principally played roles of gentle and well-meaning characters who were often a bit obtuse or naive, such as his roles opposite the energetic Louis de Funès. Bourvil's well-meaning characters not only managed to make us laugh but also to save themselves from the Machiavellian designs of adversaries played by de Funès.
Bourvil was, however, also capable of more dramatic roles such as the handyman in L'Arbre de Noël (1969). In this role he observes the relationship between a man he works for and the young son who has fallen ill. The audience can identify with the character played by Bourvil, just as they can in his comic roles, so often as a simple man. One can also note his role of Thénardier in the film adaptation of Les Misérables (1958), and his last role as the policeman Mattei in Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Cercle rouge (1970).
In March 1948 Bourvil took part in the complete recording of Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann with artists of the Paris Opéra-Comique conducted by André Cluytens, playing the four 'servant' roles.

Lyrics:
Ta mère t'a donné comme prénom
Salade de fruits
Ah! quel joli nom
Au nom de tes ancêtres hawaïens
Il faut reconnaître que tu le portes bien
Salade de fruits, jolie, jolie, jolie
Tu plais à mon père
Tu plais à ma mère
Salade de fruits, jolie, jolie, jolie
Un jour ou l'autre il faudra bien
Qu'on nous marie
Pendus dans la paillote au bord de l'eau
Y a des ananas, y a des noix,de cocos
J'en ai déjà goûté je n'en veux plus
Le fruit de ta bouche serait le bienvenu
Salade de fruits, jolie, jolie, jolie
Tu plais à mon père
Tu plais à ma mère
Salade de fruits, jolie, jolie, jolie
Un jour ou l'autre il faudra bien
Qu'on nous marie
Je plongerai tout nu dans l'océan
Pour te ramener des poissons d'argent
Avec des coquillages lumineux
Oui mais en revanche tu sais ce que je veux
Salade de fruits, jolie, jolie, jolie
Tu plais à mon père
Tu plais à ma mère
Salade de fruits, jolie, jolie, jolie
Un jour ou l'autre il faudra bien
Qu'on nous marie
On a donné chacun de tout son cœur
Ce qu'il y avait en nous de meilleur
Au fond de ma paillote au bord de l'eau
Le palmier qui bouge c'est un petit berceau
Salade de fruits, jolie, jolie, jolie
Tu plais à ton père, Tu plais à ta mère
Salade fruits, jolie, jolie, jolie
C'est toi le fruit de nos amours !
Bonjour petit !
