Sans Toi Cléo5à7

Beautiful song from Varda's 1962 film Cléo5à7. A young Michel Legrand pianist,too. Lyrics:
Toutes portes ouvertes
En plein courant d'air
Je suis une maison vide
Sans toi, sans toi.

Comme une île déserte
Que recouvre la mer
Mes plages se devident
Sans toi, sans toi.

Belle, en pure perte
Nue au coeur de l'hiver
Je suis un corps avide
Sans toi, sans toi.

Rongée par le cafard
Morte, au cercueil de verre
Je me couvre de rides
Sans toi, sans toi.

Et si tu viens trop tard
On m' aura mise en terre
Seule, laide et livide
Sans toi, sans toi,
Sans toi.

(approximate english translation:)

Without You

All the doors open,
Chilled by the breeze,
I'm an empty house
Without you, without you

Like a desert island
Covered by the sea,
My shores disappearing,
Without you, without you

Pretty, yet really lost,
Naked in the heart of winter
I'm an empty body
Without you, without you

Consumed by the blues,
Dead, in a tomb of glass,
Covered with wrinkles,
Without you, without you

And if you return too late
I'll already be laid in the ground,
Alone, ugly and ashen,
Without you, without you,

One of the most beautiful love song ever sung. Corrine Marchand is breathtaking!

[TheErogenousZone]

Where did this song originate? Who wrote it?

[aldebert76]

La perfection, coup d'essai, coup de maître, l'Oeuvre. Un Lèonard de Vinci de 1961. A tomber par terre !

@kfspiano that would be amazing

[kfspiano]

@mynillywita9milli I promise you, I will send you the transcription, just as soon as I find time to finish it. The version in the film, has an orchestra background,too; I'd like to arrange something just for piano solo and voice; eventually it could be sung like Ute Lemper's version of Kurt Weill's "Complainte de la Seine" (which I highly recommend you listen to)
