Thanks to Paul (Paploviante) @paul-racle for all those open collab  that he uploads and shares. Open collab tracks: https://soundcloud.com/paplo-repost/tracks  
Here is the original track in case you want to express yourself. "Sometimes"  https://soundcloud.com/paplo-repost/sometimes-paploviante-open-collab
I allowed myself to change the title. Indeed, I narrate a text by Jacques Prévert (1900-1977) "En été comme en hiver" WICH YOU WILL FIND THE TRANSLATION BELOW. I tried to find out more about this wonderful poetry that was written by the poet for a show, but it seems hard to know more. I'm not sure that the tone on which i narrate is the right one, but that's what inspired me. A mixture of dramatic and ironic.
I remixed a little and I added some sounds to give a little more realism. I hope you enjoy my version.

Je me suis permis de changer le titre. En effet, je narre un texte de Jacques Prévert (1900-1977) "En été comme en hiver" . J'ai tenté d'en savoir plus sur cette magnifique poésie qui a été écrite par le poète pour un spectacle, mais il semble difficile d'en savoir plus. Je ne suis pas certain que le ton sur lequel je le dis soit le bon, mais c'est ce qu'il m'a inspiré. Un mélange dramatique et ironique.
J'ai remixé un peu et j'ai ajouté quelques sons pour donner un peu plus de réalisme. J'espère que vous apprécierez cette version.

EN ETE COMME EN HIVER

In summer as in winter
in the mud in the dust
lying on old newspapers
the man whose shoes take the water
look out at the boats.

Near him a fool
a gentleman who has what
sadly angling
He does not know why
he sees a barge passing
and nostalgia takes it
He would like to leave as well
very far over the water
and live a new life
with a smaller belly.

In summer as in winter
in the mud in the dust
lying on old newspapers
the man whose shoes take the water
look out at the boats.

The brave angler
without fish returns home
He opens a can of sardines
and then starts crying
He understands that he will die
and he never liked
His wife considers him
and smiled with a pinch
It's a very sad shrew
a giant clam frog.

In summer as in winter
in the mud in the dust
lying on old newspapers
the man whose shoes take the water
look out at the boats.

He knows that barges
are big floating slums
and that lower wages
does that the beautiful marinières
and their poor mariners
walk on the rivers
a whole load of children
damaged by misery
in summer as in winter
and in any weather.

Cinecittà

Quand nimbée de lumière
Tu reviendras sur tes pas
Comme sortant de la mer
Coquillages au bout des doigts
Eh bien je prendrai
Le premier vol Alitalia
Moi qui disais
Que l'on ne m'y reprendrait pas

Ô ruines, vieilles pierres
Et nos bobines en sépia
Assoupies sous la poussière
Retrouveront tout leur éclat
Je t'emmènerai
Au jour naissant sur ma Vespa
Voir la beauté
Des vestiges de notre émoi

Là dans les reflets de verre
La nuit me parle de toi
Comme au Pierrot Lunaire
Revenu de Cinecittà
Les yeux fermés
Je me souviens bien de ta voix
Quand tu disais
"Non è l'amore che va via"

Oh nimbée de lumière
Tu reviendras sur tes pas
Sur le tapis rouge amer
Tu n'auras qu'à claquer des doigts
Et je mettrai
Les pieds dans l'eau une autre fois
Même si je sais
Que ce n'est que du cinéma

Et je mettrai
Les pieds dans l'eau une autre fois
Moi qui disais...

This fantastic seaman's song is one of the first songs I heard with David Todd - on his soundcloud page, http://soundcloud.com/toddlers ,some years ago..  Now I have made a version of it myself... http://soundcloud.com/ingrid-h gave me some great help with the backing vocals. The instruments I play are: acoustic and electric guitar, bouzouki, harmonica, bass and bongo drums. I hope you will enjoy it!

Cold and hunger - written by David Todd

I'm a singer/songwriter from Stockholm, Sweden.
The guitar is my main instrument. 
But I enjoy to have fun with other instruments too.
My songs are organic and mostly acoustic based.
I guess they could be described as a blend of folk, country, blues and world music.
And I haven't written my best song yet. That's what keeps me going.
Please be my guest,  have a listen and write me a comment if you like.
You can also listen to some of my music on Spotify. Just click on the link below.
