Besame besame mucho
Cette chanson
d'autrefois je la chante pour toi
Besame besame mucho
Comme une histoire
d'amour qui ne finirait
pas
On l'a chantée dans les rues
Sous des ciels inconnus et dans toute la France
On la croyait
oubliée
Et pour mieux nous aimer voilà qu'elle
recommence
Besame besame mucho
Si dans un autre pays ça veut dire
embrasse-moi
Besame besame mucho
Toute ma vie, je voudrais la
chanter
avec toi
On ne demande à
l'amour
Ni serment de
toujours ni
décor fantastique
Pour nous aimer il nous faut
Simplement quelque
mots qui vont sur la musique
Besame besame mucho
Si dans un autre pays ça veut dire
embrasse-moi
Besame besame mucho
Toute ma vie, je voudrais la
chanter
avec toi
Besame besame mucho.

"Autumn Leaves" is a French popular
song and jazz standard composed by Joseph Kosma with original lyrics by Jacques
Prévert in French, and later by Johnny Mercer in English. An instrumental
version by pianist Roger Williams was a number 1 best-seller in the US Billboard charts
of 1955.
Kosma was
a native of Hungary who was introduced to Prévert in Paris. They collaborated
on the song Les Feuilles mortes("The Dead Leaves") for the
1946 film Les Portes de la nuit (Gates of the Night)where it was sung by
Irène Joachim.Kosma was influenced by a piece of ballet music,
"Rendez-vous" written for Roland Petit, which was itself borrowed
partially from "Poème d'octobre" by Jules Massenet.The first
commercial recordings of "Les Feuilles mortes" were released in 1950,
by Cora Vaucaireand by Yves Montand.Johnny
Mercer wrote the English lyric and gave it the title "Autumn Leaves".
Mercer was a partner in Capitol Records at the time, and Capitol recording
artist Jo Stafford made the first English-language recording in July, 1950.The song was recorded steadily throughout the
1950s by leading pop vocalists including Bing Crosby(1950), Nat King Cole(1955),
Doris Day(1956), and Frank Sinatra(1957). It was also quickly adopted by instrumental
jazz artists including Artie Shaw(1950), Stan Getz(1952), Erroll Garner and Ahmad
Jamal(separately in 1955), Duke Ellington (1957), and Cannonball Adderley and Miles
Davis (together in 1958). In 2012, jazz historian Philippe Baudoin called the
song "the most important non-American standard" and noted that
"it has been recorded about 1400 times by mainstream and modern jazz
musicians alone and is the eighth most-recorded tune by jazzmen."
I DO'NT
HAVE INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE SINGER,I
HAVE MADE SOME SEARCH, BUT I DON'T HAVE CONCLUSION ABOUT IT.
Oh ! je voudrais tant que tu te souviennes
Des jours heureux où nous étions amis.
En ce temps-là la vie était plus belle,
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu'aujourd'hui.
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle.
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié...
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle,
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
Et le vent du nord les emporte
Dans la nuit froide de l'oubli.
Tu vois, je n'ai pas oublié
La chanson que tu me chantais.
C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble.
Toi, tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Et nous vivions tous les deux ensemble,
Toi 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.
Les feuilles mortes se ramassent à la pelle,
Les souvenirs et les regrets aussi
Mais mon amour silencieux et fidèle
Sourit toujours et remercie la vie.
Je t'aimais tant, tu étais si jolie.
Comment veux-tu que je t'oublie ?
En ce temps-là, la vie était plus belle
Et le soleil plus brûlant qu'aujourd'hui.
Tu étais ma plus douce amie
Mais je n'ai que faire des regrets
Et la chanson que tu chantais,
Toujours, toujours je l'entendrai !

Miles Dewey Davis III(May 26, 1926 – September 28, 1991) was an American jazz trumpeter,
bandleader, and composer. He is among the most influential and acclaimed
figures in the history of jazz and 20th-century music. Davis adopted a variety
of musical directions in a five-decade career that kept him at the forefront of
many major stylistic developments in jazz.
Born in Alton, Illinois, and
raised in East St. Louis, Davis left to study at the Juilliard School in New
York City, before dropping out and making his professional debut as a member of
saxophonist Charlie Parker's bebop quintet from 1944 to 1948. Shortly after, he
recorded the Birth of the Cool sessions for Capitol Records, which were
instrumental to the development of cool jazz. In the early 1950s, Miles Davis
recorded some of the earliest hard bop music while on Prestige Records but did
so haphazardly due to a heroin addiction. After a widely acclaimed comeback
performance at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1955, he signed a long-term
contract with Columbia Records and recorded the 1957 album 'Round About
Midnight.It was his first work
with saxophonist John Coltrane and bassist Paul Chambers, key members of the
sextet he led into the early 1960s. During this period, he alternated between
orchestral jazz collaborations with arranger Gil Evans, such as the
Spanish-influenced Sketches of Spain(1960), and band recordings, such as
Milestones(1958) and Kind of Blue(1959).The latter recording remains one of the
most popular jazz albums of all time,having
sold over five million copies in the U.S.
Davis made several lineup changes
while recording Someday My Prince Will Come(1961), his 1961 Blackhawk
concerts, and Seven Steps to Heaven(1963), another mainstream success
that introduced bassist Ron Carter, pianist Herbie Hancock, and drummer Tony
Williams. After adding saxophonist Wayne Shorter to his new quintet in 1964, Davis
led them on a series of more abstract recordings often composed by the band
members, helping pioneer the post-bop genre with albums such as E.S.P (1965)
and Miles Smiles(1967), before transitioning into his electric period.
During the 1970s, he experimented with rock, funk, African rhythms, emerging electronic
music technology, and an ever-changing line-up of musicians, including
keyboardist Joe Zawinul, drummer Al Foster, and guitarist John McLaughlin. This
period, beginning with Davis' 1969 studio album In a Silent Way and
concluding with the 1975 concert recording Agharta, was the most
controversial in his career, alienating and challenging many in jazz. His
million-selling 1970 record Bitches Brew helped spark a resurgence in
the genre's commercial popularity with jazz fusion as the decade progressed.
After a five-year retirement due
to poor health, Davis resumed his career in the 1980s, employing younger
musicians and pop sounds on albums such as The Man with the Horn(1981)
and Tutu(1986). Critics were generally unreceptive but the decade
garnered the trumpeter his highest level of commercial recognition. He
performed sold-out concerts worldwide, while branching out into visual arts,
film, and television work, before his death in 1991 from the combined effects
of a stroke, pneumonia and respiratory failure. In 2006, Davis was inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which recognized him as "one of the
key figures in the history of jazz." Rolling Stone described him as
"the most revered jazz trumpeter of all time, not to mention one of the
most important musicians of the 20th century," while Gerald Early called
him inarguably one of the most influential and innovative musicians of that
period.
