I was watching a pretty old movie and there was this song in one of the scenes, and I realized – \’Hey! I\’ve heard this before!\’ Anyways, after about half an hour of searching, I finally tracked down who sang it, and I got the lyrics.

{Refrain:}
Parlez-moi d\’ amour
Redites-moi des choses tendres
Votre beau discours
Mon cœur n\’ est pas las de l\’ entendre
Pourvu que toujours
Vous répétiez ces mots suprêmes
Je vous aime

Vous savez bien
Que dans le fond je n\’ en crois rien
Mais cependant je veux encore
Écouter ce mot que j\’ adore
Votre voix aux sons caressants
Qui le murmure en frémissant
Me berce de sa belle histoire
Et malgré moi je veux y croire

{Refrain}

Il est si doux
Mon cher trésor, d\’ être un peu fou
La vie est parfois trop amère
Si l\’ on ne croit pas aux chimères
Le chagrin est vite apaisé
Et se console d\’ un baiser
Du cœur on guérit la blessure
Par un serment qui le rassure

Here\’s the link.

And so I just had to go looking for other French songs that I have heard before. Songs by Edith Piaf. Of course, I was reading Jacek\’s blog and I saw his blast, which said \’Edith Piaf\’, which might have contributed to my quest to find those songs. Here are a few…

Autumn Leaves

La Foule

The second song makes me want to dance. The first song has me picturing myself in some French cafe sipping coffee and watching the world go past. But Parlez-moi d\’amour is probably my favorite French song ever.
