Et je sens que je tombe, mon cœur est presque nu, j'ai le pied dans la tombe

La jolie voix d'une Dame si discrète et élégante s'est envolée pour aller charmer les anges ; adieu à Françoise Hardy, qui a bercé notre jeunesse avec ses ballades intemporelles

le dieu d eternite te benisse Y.H.W.H  AMEN

Françoise Hardy - Träume

Love is a long, long journey
And on a long, long journey
There are things that happen
We just can't foresee

So when you say forever
Although you mean forever
There's a voice inside me
Saying this can't be

But when you hold my hand
You know I feel so grand
I mean I feel that we could beat this mystery
And I believe with all my heart
I believe, oh yes, I believe

But love is a long, long journey
And on a long, long journey
There are things that happen
We just can't foresee

So when you say forever
Although you mean forever
There's this voice inside me
Saying this can't be

When you say forever
Although you mean forever
There's this voice inside me
Saying this can't be

But when you say that it's true
I start believing you
And then the spell, you see
Begins to work on me
And I believe
With all my my heart
I believe
Oh yes, I believe

This beautiful song which has been churning around in my head on and off for decades was composed by Philippe Sarde (with lyrics by Jean-Loup Dabadie) in 1970 along with the rest of his score for Claude Sautet's "Les choses de la vie". Romy Schneider and Michel Piccoli who starred in the film also lent their voices to this song, which I believe was the first and last time the former ever did so. Some might argue that it was a wise decision :-/  

I was delighted that Anne agreed to take on the role of Romy in order to sing on my instrumental cover of "La chanson d'Hélène" whilst I filled in for Michel :-) As luck would have it she shares a similar subtle German accent and airiness in the voice, but with the added bonus of being simply incapable of singing flat :-) I think she did a brilliant job ...

I've added a link to some footage of the original live recording for the nostalgic at heart (that's my middle name) :

Lyrics : 

Ce soir nous sommes septembre 
Et j'ai fermé ma chambre 
Le soleil n'y entrera plus 
Tu ne m'aimes plus 

Là-haut un oiseau passe
Comme une dédicace 
Dans le ciel 

Je t'aimais tant Hélène 
Il faut se quitter 
Les avions partiront sans nous 
Je ne sais plus t'aimer Hélène 

Avant dans la maison j'aimais quand nous vivions 
Comme dans un dessin d'enfant 
Tu ne m'aimes plus 

Je regarde le soir tomber dans les miroirs 
C'est ma vie 

C'est mieux ainsi Hélène 
C'était l'amour sans amitié
Il va falloir changer de mémoire 
Je ne t'écrirai plus Hélène
 
L'histoire n'est plus à suivre et j'ai fermé le livre 
Le soleil n'y entrera plus 
Tu ne m'aimes plus
