Words: Francis Lemarque Music: Les Paul Very well interpreted by the band Bratsch I think it´s from some musical or theater play - anybody knows anything about this song? Thanx, Daniel |

I remember another song: Johnny, wenn du Geburtstag hast (Johnny, when it´s your birthday) by Marlene Dietrich, but that´s not it. Any more suggestions??? malena |

Les Paul made a popular arrangement, but I am not sure that he was the original composer. See www.paroles.net, the site for all songs French. |

The song "inspired" Les Paul (the copyright dispute had been won by Stein)! Piaf and Vaya con Dios also sang on this beautiful melodical line "Johnny, the boy for me"! However, the song is Romanian 100%. Enjoy! |
