La bohème
Lyrics by Jacques Plante
Lyrics .fr
Je vous parle d’un temps
Que les moins de vingt ans ne peuvent pas connaître
Montmartre en ce temps-là accrochait ses lilas
Jusque sous nos fenêtres et si l’humble garni
Qui nous servait de nid ne payait pas de mine
C’est là qu’on s’est connu
Moi qui criait famine et toi qui posais nueLa bohème, la bohème
Ça voulait dire on est heureux
La bohème, la bohème
Nous ne mangions qu’un jour sur deuxDans les cafés voisins
Nous étions quelques-uns
Qui attendions la gloire et bien que miséreux
Avec le ventre creux
Nous ne cessions d’y croire et quand quelque bistro
Contre un bon repas chaud
Nous prenait une toile, nous récitions des vers
Groupés autour du poêle en oubliant l’hiverLa bohème, la bohème
Ça voulait dire tu es jolie
La bohème, la bohème
Et nous avions tous du génieSouvent il m’arrivait
Devant mon chevalet
De passer des nuits blanches
Retouchant le dessin
De la ligne d’un sein
Du galbe d’une hanche et ce n’est qu’au matin
Qu’on s’asseyait enfin
Devant un café-crème
Epuisés mais ravis
Fallait-il que l’on s’aime et qu’on aime la vieLa bohème, la bohème.
Ça voulait dire on a vingt ans
La bohème, la bohème
Et nous vivions de l’air du tempsQuand au hasard des jours
Je m’en vais faire un tour
A mon ancienne adresse
Je ne reconnais plus
Ni les murs, ni les rues
Qui ont vu ma jeunesse
En haut d’un escalier
Je cherche l’atelier
Dont plus rien ne subsiste
Dans son nouveau décor
Montmartre semble triste et les lilas sont mortsLa bohème, la bohème.
On était jeunes, on était fous
La bohème, la bohème.
Ça ne veut plus rien dire du tout
.en translation
(more…)I speak of a time
That less than twenty years old cannot know
At that time Montmartre was hanging its lilac
All the way up to our windows and if the humble home
That was our nest did not look like much
It is there that we met
Me starving you who were posing nudeBohemia, bohemia
It meant we are happy
Bohemia, bohemia
We only ate every other dayIn the neighboring cafés
We were a few
Waiting for glory and though living in misery
With an empty stomach
We never stopped believing, and, when some bistro,
In exchange of a warm meal
Would take one of our paintings, we would say poetry,
Grouped around the stove, forgetting about the winterBohemia, bohemia
It meant you are pretty
Bohemia, bohemia
And we all had geniusOften it would happen that
In front of my easel
I would stay up all night
Modyfing my drawings
From the line of a breast
To the curve of a hip, and it was not until morning
That we finally sat
Over cream-coffee
Exhausted but happy
Was it that we loved each other and we loved lifeBohemia, bohemia
That meant that we were twenty years old
Bohemia, bohemia
And we lived the spirit of timesWhen on a random day
I go for a walk
At my previous address
I no longer recognize
Neither the walls nor the streets
Which saw my youth
At the top of a staircase
I search for the workshop
Of which nothing remains
In its new setting
Montmartre seems sad and the lilacs are deadBohemia, bohemia.
We were young, we were wild
Bohemia, bohemia.
That does no longer mean anything

Here she comes, right from the pages of the best selling book! The charming tale of a little girl’s love affair with Impressionist Claude Monet’s paintings is now brought to life in full animation.

In the Belly of the Organ of Notre-Dame
Meet Olivier Latry, the organist of the famous Notre-Dame in Paris: one of the most prestigious organist gigs in the world. Join him on an exciting musical and historical journey to the heart of the organ.
Production date: 2015 ◾Duration: 52 min
WORKS: GUILMAN, PIERRE COCHEREAU at 7:00m, LOUIS VIERNE at 17:55m , MARCEL DUPRÉ at 37:09 ( PROCESSION & LITANY) AND J.S. BACH at 44:13 ( famous PASSACAGLIA & FUGUE with Pierre Cochereau)
Olivier Latry, organist of the Great Organ of Notre-Dame, takes us on a journey through the mechanism of his beloved companion, a musical instrument which has served as both witness and protagonist through history’s incredible twists and turns. Despite its religious function as intended by its builders and its service to composers through the centuries, the Great Organ Cavaillé-Coll has withstood the test of time, and ultimately reveals its absolute modernity…
Latry has a true passion for Notre-Dame’s organ: The Organ of Notre-Dame is incredible. One always discovers new things about it. The space changes its acoustic with the weather, the snow, the rain, the humidity, and the organ’s nature changes with it: it sounds differently. It’s like an old lady with rheumatism. There are always surprises with this instrument. Every time I come to Notre-Dame, it’s as though it were the first time! In this documentary, Latry plays, recounts anecdotes and stories, delivers a veritable music lesson on all sorts of musical repertoires, and discusses with organ builder Philippe, who climbs the pipes to correct and fine tune this strange musical machine…
