L'amour Est Bleu

Doux, doux, l'amour est doux
Douce c'est ma vie, ma vie dans tes bras
Doux, doux, l'amour est doux
Douce c'est ma vie, ma vie pres de toi

Gris, gris, l'amour est gris
Pleure mon coeur lorsque tu t'en vas
Gris, gris, le ciel est gris
Tombe la pluie quand tu n'es plus lа

Comme l'eau, comme l'eau qui coule
Moi, mon coeur 
Court apres ton amour

(Doux, doux, l'amour est doux) Yesterday we were together
(Douce est ma vie, ma vie dans tes bras) And life was sweet
(Doux, doux, l'amour est doux) Today you're gone
My life is sad
(Douce est ma vie, ma vie apres de toi) And love is blue

Comme l'eau, comme l'eau qui coule
Moi, mon coeur 
Court apres ton amour

Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu
Le ciel est bleu lorsque tu reviens
Bleu, bleu, l'amour est bleu
L'amour est bleu quand tu prends ma main

Sweet, sweet, love is sweet
Sweet is my life, my life in your arms
Sweet, sweet, love is sweet
Sweet is my life, my life close to you

Grey, grey, love is grey
My heart is crying when you're gone
Grey, grey, the sky is grey

The rain is falling when you're not here
Like water, like water that flows
Me, my heart is running after your love

Yesterday we were together
And life was sweet
Today you're gone
My life is sad
And love is blue

Like water, like water that flows
Me, my heart is running after your love

Blue, blue, love is blue
The sky is blue when you come back
Blue, blue, love is blue
Love is blue when you take my hand

Love Is Blue

Blue, blue, my world is blue
Blue is my world now I'm without you
Gray, gray, my life is gray
Cold is my heart since you went away

Red, red, my eyes are red
Crying for you alone in my bed
Green, green, my jealous heart
I doubted you and now we're apart

When we met how the bright sun shone
Then love died, now the rainbow is gone

Black, black, the nights I've known
Longing for you so lost and alone

JAMES LAST, BANDLEADER, DIES 86
The Telegraph | 10 Jun 2015

By Martin Chilton, Culture Editor

James Last, one of the most popular band leaders of the post-war period, has died in Florida

Big band leader James Last has died aged 86 at his home in Palm Beach, Florida. The final one of his remarkable 90 performances at London's Royal Albert Hall came in April 2015 as part of a farewell tour he announced after becoming seriously ill last year. The German-born musician sold millions of records and was a regular fixture on UK television for many years with his James Last Orchestra. He pioneered what became known as "Happy Sound".

In a statement, his manager said: "Mr Last passed away yesterday [June 9 2015] in Florida, peacefully and in the presence of his family."

Born Hans Last on April 17 1929, the man always known to friends as Hansi became highly adept at adapting pop hits to big band arrangements and in his lifetime he sold more than 80 million albums worldwide. He performed about 2,500 live concerts during a career spanning five decades, after clinching his first record deal in 1964.

Non-Stop Dancing, released in 1965, was a sensation, and included short performances of popular songs, tied together by dance beats and crowd noises. He worked with many popular musicians, including Cliff Richard, Freddy Quinn, Richard Clayderman and René Kollo. In the UK alone, he had 52 hit albums between 1967 and 1986, cementing him in the record books as the second-best selling artist of all time, behind Elvis Presley. Last said he was proud that Presley recorded his own composition Fool.

Last had a Top 10 hit in America in 1980 with The Seduction, the theme song from American Gigolo, and the bandleader modestly explained his musical ability in his 2009 autobiography, stating: "I am simply lucky enough to be one of the few people in the world who can hear one kind of music and immediately be able to translate it into another without having to think too much about it."

He released albums devoted to the music of Abba, Motown, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bach and Vivaldi, and also interpreted the music of Bob Marley.

Last had learned how to play the tuba and the piano as child, before switching to bass as a teenager and learning his trade with the Hans-Gunther Oesterreich's Radio Bremen Dance Orchestra. He was voted as the best bassist in the country by a German jazz poll for three consecutive years, from 1950-1952.

He recently went on a farewell tour, called Non-Stop Music, which took in London and ended in April in Cologne. A public memorial service will take place in Hamburg in the coming weeks.
