An adaptation of "Les Feuilles Mortes", originally composed by Joseph Kosma and lyrics by French surrealist poet Jacques Prévert. The (more popular)English version is called "Autumn Leaves" and is a Jazz standard made famous by, among others, Nat King Cole. 

Most Jazz fusion with Indian classical music tends to center around the Indian side, with the Jazz arrangement being an accompaniment. This is an attempt to do the reverse. The violin tries to embellish the main melody with improvisation in the Harmonic minor (Keeravani). 

Lyrics

C'est une chanson qui nous ressemble.
This song is like us.

Toi, tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
You used to love me and I used to love you

Et nous vivions tous les deux ensemble,
And we used to live together,

Toi qui m'aimais, moi qui t'aimais.
You loving me, me loving you

Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment,
But life separates lovers,

Tout doucement, sans faire de bruit
Pretty slowly, noiselessly,

Et la mer efface sur le sable
And the sea erases on the sand

les pas des amants désunis. 
The separated lovers' footprints.

ps: Please excuse the poor French pronunciation. 


Les Feuilles Mortes

I take the ridiculous and the sublime, add cellos, violins, guitars and random internet collaborators to make music of sorts

Les Feuilles Mortes
