   ## Marie Laforet - Viens Viens

   > More than 25 years later this superhit sounds in my mind as if the gramophone is filling again the room with this screaming vocal of magnificent madame Marie Laforêt. An undeletable memory of mine - the real things do endure time for sure, exactly.
   > I am still stunned how a simple needle and a low-grade vinyl player is overpowering me and is outplaying the modern "Hi-Fi" junks.
   > Please translate into English this old song from my vinyl childhood times:
   > Marie Laforêt - Viens Viens - Version HIFI :
   > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ach7L...eature=related
   > Viens, viens, c'est une prière
   > Viens, viens, pas pour moi mon père
   > Viens, viens, reviens pour ma mère
   > Viens, viens, elle meurt de toi
   > Viens, viens, que tout recommence
   > Viens, viens, sans toi l'existence
   > Viens, viens, n'est qu'un long silence
   > Viens, viens, qui n'en finit pas.
   > Je sais bien qu'elle est jolie cette fille
   > Que pour elle tu en oublies ta famille
   > Je ne suis pas venue te juger
   > Mais pour te ramener
   > Il parait que son amour tient ton âme
   > Crois-tu que ça vaut l'amour de ta femme
   > Qui a su partager ton destin
   > Sans te lâcher la main.
   > Viens, viens, maman en septembre
   > Viens, viens, a repeint la chambre
   > Viens, viens, comme avant ensemble
   > Viens, viens, vous y dormirez
   > Viens, viens, c'est une prière
   > Viens, viens, pas pour moi mon père
   > Viens, viens, reviens pour ma mère
   > Viens, viens, elle meurt de toi
   > Sais-tu que Jean est rentré à l'école
   > Il sait déjà l'alphabet, il est drôle
   > Quand il fait semblant de fumer
   > C'est vraiment ton portrait
   > Viens, viens, c'est une prière
   > Viens, viens, tu souris mon père
   > Viens, viens, tu verras ma mère
   > Viens, viens, est plus belle qu'avant
   > Qu'avant, qu'avant, qu'avant, qu'avant
   > Viens, viens, ne dis rien mon père
   > Viens, viens, embrasse moi mon père
   > viens, viens, tu es beau mon père
   > It is mandatory this vinyl classic to enter the digital era in extreme (vinyl-like) quality, of course with (translated) lyrics of course proofed.

   ## Come, Come

   > note: mon in 'mon père' can often be omitted in English, where possessive is implied not stated.
   > Come, come, it is a prayer
   > Come, come, not for me father
   > Come, come, return for mother
   > Come, come, she dies because of you
   > Come, come, that everything begins again
   > Come, come, without you here [lit: in existence]
   > Come, come, is only a long silence
   > Come, come, which never ends
   > I know well that she is attractive, this girl
   > That for her you forget your family
   > I did not come to judge you
   > But to bring you back
   > Apparently this love so grips your soul
   > You believe that it is worth the love of your wife
   > Who knew how to share your fate
   > Without letting go of your hand.
   > Come, come, Mom in September
   > Come, come, repainted the room
   > Come, come, together as before
   > Come, come, you will sleep there
   > Come, come, it is a prayer
   > Come, come, not for me father
   > Come, come, come back for mother
   > Come, come, she dies because of you
   > You know that Jean returned to school
   > He already knows the alphabet, he is funny
   > When he pretends to smoke
   > He really is the image of you [lit: your portrait]
   > Come, come, it is a prayer
   > Come, come, smile father
   > Come, come, you will see mother
   > Come, come, is more beautiful than before
   > Than before, than before, than before, than before
   > Come, come, say nothing father
   > Come, come, embrace me father
   > come, come, you are beautiful father

   > Ooh, I didn't expect such a gloomy context.
   > Merci bluejacket.
   > I am a total dummy regarding French language but here three things for clarifying:
   > - a typo in 'Without letting go of your the hand.' - 'the' is for deletion.
   > - as for 'mon père' and all 'mon's, I suppose that an alternative verse would be 'smile me(stronger than my) father' in order to stress on child-father bond. It goes well with the following 'kiss me' (but then 'kiss me me father' is just unacceptable), but there is a problem which I saw just now: a possible confusion because of 'smile' being a transitive verb also! All-in-all your way of omitting the possessiveness is just right.
   > - as for 'You believe that that is worth the love of your wife' I salute you for this feint (nonjudgmental statement) whereas the dummy Google says: 'Do you think it's worth the love of your wife'.
   > A powerful song with much more sentiments than I was expecting, thanks a lot bluejacket.

   > You're welcome . Yes, it's much darker than it seems....
   > 1.'the' omitted - as the old joke goes - 'Dyslexia Rules K.O'.
   > 2. It would have to be 'smile at or for me father' to work in English - 'smile father' is an abbreviation which allows reader to choose which applies.
   > 3. * could be 'kiss me father' rather than 'embrace me' I suppose - (I think embrace works better too) I hope it's not the Québécois slang - that means something entirely earthier....... !!

   > Ha,
   > right right.
   > Second and third notes kind of passed through my mind back then at writing my previous post - I saw that French 'embrasse' is the origin of English 'embrace' so I thought that embrace is rather more suitable.
   > For reference: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=embrace
   > Glad glad I am.
