On the blog yesterday I mentioned that I was a Francophile, and any Bitter FM listener would definitely know that, and I have to thank them for putting up with my self indulgence there.... So the song today has to be a French song. I've decided on a classic. Most people would know of Serge Gainsbourg, I expect, or at least know the big hit he had in the 60's "Je t'aime.. moi non plus" which was banned or censored in several countries because of it's sexual nature... by way of simulated orgasm sounds from Jane Birkin, who later became his wife. The song I have chosen is another duet but this time with Anna Karina. Yet another beautiful actress that Serge sang with at that period of his career, Brigitte Bardot being another. "Ne dis rien" is from the "Anna" soundtrack album and has all the hallmarks of a Serge Gainsbourg classic. I believe the video below is from a TV special.
Someone on Youtube kindly translated the lyrics. So I've pasted them below.
Do not say anything, especially not say nothing I am
Say nothing, have no fear, no fear of me
Follow me to the end of the night
Until the end of my madness
Let the time, forget tomorrow
Forget all think about anything
Do not say anything, especially not say nothing I am
Say nothing, have no fear, no fear of me
Follow me to the end of the night
Until the end of my madness
Let the time, forget tomorrow
Forget all think about anything
