Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Three Bells / Les Trois Cloches
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Three Bells (Original)
I remember having a pre vynil recording of this in 1951/2. On the reverse was a beautiful song called Mes Jeune Annees written by Charles Trenet which went on to become a much loved song in France. Beautiful poetic lyrics if one takes the trouble to translate. It;s making the translation fit to the music that's the problem - without losing the original idea. I found this difficulty recently while trying to do this with Domenico Modugno's Vecchio Frak.
