film "La cavalcade des heures" 1943 -
lyrics with literal translation to English:
******* Ce soir le vent qui frappe à ma porte,
Tonight, the wind that knocks at my door,
******* Me parle des amours mortes
tells me about love relationships that died
******* Devant le feu qui s'éteint
In front of the fire which dies down

******* Ce soir c'est une chanson d' automne
Tonight, it is an autumn song
******* Dans la maison qui frissonne
In the house that shivers
******* Et je pense aux jours lointains.
And I think of the remote days.

********* {Refrain:}
********* Que reste-t-il de nos amours?
What remains of our love relationships ?
********* Que reste-t-il de ces beaux jours?
What remains of those beautiful days ?
******* Une photo, vieille photo
A picture, old picture
******* De ma jeunesse
of my youth
******* Que reste-t-il des billets doux?
What remains of the love letters?
******* Des mois d'avril, des rendez-vous?
The months of April, the rendezvous?
******* Un souvenir qui me poursuit
A memory that haunts me
******* Sans cesse
without cease.

******* +
******* Bonheur fané, cheveux au vent,
Withered happiness, hairs in the wind,
******* Baisers volés, rêves mouvants
Stolen kisses, drifting dreams
******* Que reste-t-il de tout cela
What remains of all that
******* Dites-le-moi
Tell me

******* +
******* Un petit village, un vieux clocher
A small village, an old belfry,
******* Un paysage si bien caché
A landscape so well hidden
******* Et dans un nuage le cher visage
And in a cloud the dear visage
******* De mon passé.
of my past.

******* (not in the clip:)
******* Les mots, les mots tendres qu'on murmure
The words, the tender words that one is whispering
******* Les caresses les plus pures
The most pure caresses
******* Les serments au fond des bois
The oaths in the deepness of the woods
******* Les fleurs qu'on retrouve dans un livre
The flowers that one finds back in a book
******* Dont le parfum vous enivre,
whose perfume inebriates you,
******* Se sont envolés pourquoi?
why did they fly away?

The tune by Léo Chauliac was reused in
"I wish you love" (lyrics by Albert Beac)
* Frank Sinatra

En México hay una versión de esta canción en español con el título "Que seas feliz", la cantan en rondalla.
Es la primera vez que escucho esta, que imagino es la versión original.

C'est une des rares chansons françaises que j'affectionne particulièrement parce que je trouve le texte aussi doux que sensuel, aussi beau que triste et mélancolique.

Merci pour cette vidéo ^^

gogogadgetspoon, thank you for your information, yes, it is I wish you love, sang by many singers, I know now. Also Nat King Cole is wonderful....
And if you like Sinatra, please look at soundslikefrank, that's another good singer in the USA!!
