This is lovely. My only niggle would to moisten it with some reverb as it will make the voice and keyboard sit together a bit more.

Ooh, love that ending.

Is there a loose translation lying about?

Yeah, I didn't listen to it as I recorded it, I just put the BR on the piano and pressed go. Listening back the piano sounds too low/detacthed to me. Tried to put reverb on it on the BR but I never really think that works well and tried to put some delay on in Audacity which didn't sound right, so I left it as I sang it. Ideally I should record it separately as I could squeeze more drama out of the lyrics without concentrating so hard on the piano but I'm not doing it again!

Here's a one with French and English subtitles
