Subject: RE: Tune Req: 'LA MER' (TRENET) + 'COUCOU) From: GUEST,Tunesmith Date: 12 Nov 03 - 02:57 PM La Mer by Charles Trenet was of course turned into " (Somewhere) Beyond the Sea", a big hit for Bobby Darin some 40+ years ago and recently revived by Robbie Williams. I must admit I love the French original. Strangely, my favourite version is by Sasha Distel(!) |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: 'LA MER' (TRENET) + 'COUCOU) From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 12 Nov 03 - 05:13 PM Trenet's "La Mer," both French and translation, are in thread 13885: Trenet et alia As M Ted remarks in that thread, Darin's words are not a translation but a new lyric. I haven't heard the Trenet song for a while, but I think the tune also is bent a bit in the Darin version. |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: 'LA MER' (TRENET) + 'COUCOU) From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 12 Nov 03 - 06:31 PM Does "Coucou" have another name? Les Paroles has 213 songs listed under Charles Trenet, but not that title. |

You saved me the trouble of digging out my trusty Charles Trenet songbook-- To avert confusion, please note that the chords as shown include key changes that are in the Trenet recording, but not in Midi-- |

Subject: ADD: La Mer (Charles Trenet, 1945) From: Joe Offer Date: 30 Nov 20 - 11:58 PM Here are the lyrics I found for "La Mer." Any corrections? LA MER (Charles Trenet, 1945) La mer Qu'on voit danser le long des golfes clairs A des reflets d'argent La mer Des reflets changeants Sous la pluie La mer Au ciel d'été confond Ses blancs moutons Avec les anges si purs, La mer bergère d'azur Infinie Voyez Près des étangs Ces grands roseaux mouillés Voyez Ces oiseaux blancs Et ces maisons rouillées La mer Les a bercés Le long des golfes clairs Et d'une chanson d'amour La mer A bercé mon cœur pour la vie. © Editions Raoul Breton, 1945. Source: https://www.lemonde.fr/archives/article/2001/02/19/la-mer-paroles-de-charles-trenet_148991_1819218.html Here's a performance of the song by the Avalon Jazz Band: Wikipedia page on this song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Mer_(song) Charles Trenet performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXQh9jTwwoA Charles Trenet studio recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QUOR_KPf34 |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: 'LA MER' (TRENET) + 'COUCOU) From: Monique Date: 01 Dec 20 - 03:29 AM No correction, the lyrics are fine. They mean...(Google translation + my editing) 1 The sea that we see dancing along the clear gulfs has reflections of silver, the sea, changing reflections under the rain. 2 The sea in the summer sky merges its white sheep with the angels so pure, the sea, endless shepherdess of azure. 3 See near the lagoons* these big wet reeds. See these white birds and these rusty houses, the sea lulled them along the clear gulfs and with a love song, the sea, has lulled my heart for life. *Note that what we call "étang" near the Mediterranean are not ponds but lagoons. Trénet was from Narbonne and if you put Narbonne into Google maps you'll see that there are many lagoons along the coast and they're all called "Étang so and so". About "Coucou", the request is almost 20 years old but here they are anyway Coucou, les rosiers fleurissent Coucou, les rameaux verdissent Coucou, voici le printemps Coucou, le beau soleil brille Coucou, et les yeux des filles Coucou, en font tout autant Que faites-vous, que faites-vous Encore à sommeiller Éveillez-vous, éveillez-vous, Le monde est transformé Coucou, ouvrez-moi bien vite Coucou, mon cœur vous invite Coucou, il faut nous aimer Cadillac Cadillac Coucou bonjour mon amour Cadilla dilla dilla Cadillac Cadillac Coucou veut dire bonjour... ... which means... (ditto as above) Hello, the roses are blooming Hello, the twigs/branches are turning green Hello, here is spring. Hello, the beautiful sun is shining Hello, and the girls' eyes Hello, do the same. What are you doing, what are you doing [You're] still sleeping. Awake, awake, The world is transformed Hello, open me up quickly Hello, my heart invites you Hello, we must love each other Cadillac Cadillac Hello hello my love Cadilla dilla dilla Cadillac Cadillac "Coucou" means hello Now... "coucou" literally means "cuckoo" -the bird. French cuckoos sing "coucou!" and the word is used to play peekaboo with babies. It's also used to say hi/hey there to family and close friends, either when you meet them or when you phone or email them. Note that "coucou" never ever means crazy and that's why the meaning of the movie title "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" translated as "Vol au-dessus d'un nid de coucou" must have been lost in translation for most of the French. |
