I had this by Theo Bikel, great song, love song to an old guitar. In English it would go something like My guitar and I never leave each other, who plays whom none can tell, when I first met her all dust covered she was languishing in an antique shop, and I couldn't, just couldn't resist her broken strings and flaking paint, and as we left, they old guy didn't get it - she was already my guitar, my friend. Then there is the part I can't remember, something about you can love beasts, nature and people, without being a poet nor yet even a musician, and then something else I can't recall, but thanks to her, she knows it, my guitar and I never leave each other (repeat first verse). Beautiful - any francophones who can help, or Bikel fans with old liner notes?

Here are the lyrics I recall:

Ma guitarre et moi nous ne nous quittons pas
Qui joue de l'autre, personne ne le dira
Quand je l'ai recontrée couverte de poussière
Elle se morfondait chez un antiquaire
Et je n'ai pas pu, pas pu résister
A ses cordes cassées, sa peinture écaillée
Et partant tous les deux, le vieux n'a pas compris
Qu'elle était déjà ma guitarre, mon amie
(...)
On peut aimer les bêtes, la nature, les humains
Sans être poète, encore moins musicien
(...)Grâe à elle, elle le sait...
...?
