Edith Piaf - Autumn Leaves (Les Feuilles Mortes)

The falling leaves
Drift by the window
The autumn leaves
All red and gold
I see your lips
The summer kisses
The sunburned hands
I used to hold.

Since you went away
The days grow long...
And soon I'll hear
Old winter songs
But I miss you most of all
My darling, when autumn leaves start to fall...

C'est une chanson
Qui nous ressemble
Toi qui m'aimais
Et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble
Tou qui m'aimais
Moi qui t'aimais

Mais la vie sépare
Ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement
Sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable
Les pas des amants désunis.

Since you went away
The days grow long...
And soon I'll hear
Old winter songs
But I miss you most of all
My darling, when autumn leaves start to fall...

Her legato is what makes this so beautiful. This is the VERY BEST version of this beautiful song. Thanks for posting.

[Arty Lee]

That chord change on "Miss you most of all" just slays me.

Oh, but the French lyrics are so gorgeous they just shimmer. The English ones are pretty flat.

This was one classy lady!

You think this song sucks? I'd hate to hear what song you like.

[Hank Maze]

Sounds like a very little boy spouting his brains out.

[Henk Hattingh]

I also love Dame Kiri Te Kanawa's version.

[Harry Maura]

The song really sucks....But one hell of a voice!

[MumsAmaranth]

I grew up listening to this song all the time. I remember my mother and I driving down the snow dusted roads at night, just me and her, with this song on in the background. We would always sing along. I absolutely adore this song. <3

[johnrltr]

Totally agree! Incomparable, and full of passion. Her famous vibrato gives it that

little something extra!

[jeremie coulbeaux]
