10 Oct 02 - 05:56 PM (#800647) Subject: Lyr Req: Anna Marie From: GUEST,John Ab I was asked recently for the 'foreign bit' of the old Jim Reeves song Anna Marie and I had to admit that, despite having thrashed it out in many Glasgow pubs and clubs long years ago I didn't know the exact words. Can anyone help? |

Infamous English serial killer Fred West named his first daughter Anna-Marie after this song. Just thought I'd chuck that in the mix. Oh, and by the way, the adjective for people from Scotland is "Scottish", not "Scotch" - "Scotch" only applies to whisky and then only in England.... drifter. |

13 Oct 02 - 05:59 PM (#802477) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Anna Marie From: Jim Dixon Well, I know a bit of French, and I've listened to the sound files and read the lyrics above. It seems that "Say-vu" could easily be "c'est vous" which means "it's you." However, "vous" is the plural or formal form of "you", and a fluent French speaker addressing his lover would certainly use the familiar singular form "tu" or maybe "toi"; I think "c'est toi" ("Say-twa") is grammatical. I can't really make any sense out of "Mi ami beaucoup". If it's supposed to be French, it's ungrammatical no matter how you look at it. It is NOT "I love you very much"--that would be "je t'aime beaucoup" (pron. "zhe tem bo-koo"). "Mi ami" could be a distorted pronunciation of "m'amie", my friend/lover, but it would not be grammatical to add "beaucoup" as a modifier, "my friend/lover very much". One would more likely say "ma chère amie", "my dear friend/lover". It sounds like he's saying "The white cherry blossoms of Shama,/Where..." but I haven't been able to identify Shama as a place name. |
