How strange is this? I spent this afternoon (Christmas Eve) listening to Bach's Christmas Oratorio, which of course includes the "spacemen" musical segment of Feuilles-O. Then my husband and I took a drive to Manchester, VT for dinner -- the featured dessert was a Feuilletine!

The part sung by Art in English if from J.S.Bach: Weinachtsoratorium, choral 33

Hi folks,

This is an amazing song sung by Art Garfunkel. As far as I know at this moment, it is well known throughout the world (Japan has a version too).

@ kylecrazyford: I just found the link to J.S. Bach on Wikipedia. Art used in the middle of this song (sung in English) the next part of the compositon:

" Oratorio de Navidad Choral 33". Perhaps if you google you can find also an English translation.

Greetings from Holland!

A side was ' I Shall Sing '. That was the B side.

Does it get any better than this?

Oh Leaves, save me from my miserable life

My child is sick, I'll run to the healer Similo

My child is sick, I'll run to the healer

If he is a good healer, he'll save me from my misery

It's a bit hard to translate a traditionnal voodoo song like this but the idea is there

I'm sure you're right - it's Haitian creole isn't it. Could you translate the creole into French or English for us?
