Jardin d'hiver
Henri Salvador

Je voudrais du soleil vert I would like some green sunshine
Des dentelles et des théières Lace and teapots
Des photos de bord de mer Pictures of the seaside
Dans mon jardin d'hiver In my winter garden

Je voudrais de la lumière I would like some light.
Comme en Nouvelle Angleterre As in New England
Je veux changer d'atmosphère I want to change the atmosphere
Dans mon jardin d'hiver In my winter garden

Ta robe à fleur Your floral dress
Sous la pluie de novembre In the november rain
Mes mains qui courent My hands running
Je n'en peux plus de t'attendre I can't wait for you anymore
Les années passent The years go by
Qu'il est loin l'âge tendre How far away is tender age
Nul ne peut nous entendre No one can hear us

Je voudrais du Fred Astaire I'd like some Fred Astaire
Revoir un Latécoère See a Latecoere
Je voudrais toujours te plaire I would always like to please you
Dans mon jardin d'hiver In my winter garden
Je veux déjeuner par terre I want to have lunch on the floor
Comme au long des golfes clairs As long the clear gulf
T'embrasser les yeux ouverts Kissing you with your eyes open
Dans mon jardin d'hiver In my winter garden
Ta robe à fleur .... Your floral dress...

Wonderful... we are lucky to have Songcrafters from different countries that can add different flavours to the mix. This is great JP, what a lovely song, so well done.

thank you Mike

Quotewe are lucky to have Songcrafters from different countries that can add different flavours to the mix.

I agree..but not yet enough world music

where are the Germans, Argentines, Brazilians, Spaniards...etc ?

my next song will be a cover of Rodrigo Amarante "Tuyo"
Um brasileiro cantando em espanhol a música de abertura de uma série norte-americana que retrata um personagem colombiano, interpretado por um... brasileiro. Que bela mistura de américas!
