Paris Ma Ville (avec réflexions)

Gloire à cette ville éclairée
Reine immortelle de la France
Qu'elle soit couronnée en temps de paix
Ville de lumière, ville d'amour.
La vie d'un chanteur est courte
Sous le ciel superbe du sud je demeure
Et je mourirai sans voir ma Paris encore
(mais on trouve les garçons serviables plus facilement ici à Tanger).

    J'aime bien ca! C'est un bon poeme, et il a l'air de Pairs, qui est mieux de beaucoup des poemes que j'ai lu. Bon travail!

    Ahhh, mais...

    Ce n'est pas là son moindre mérite! Vous avez réaliser une belle gravure, à grand renfort d'engrais !

    I like it very much. The part about not being able to return is sad, but real also. Very well written. I appreciate your entry!

    I did like this poem, although it seems rather too short for a real shot at a trophy. Your French seems fine to me, although a bit stilted. Anyway, I like the poem. I just think it's too short.

    lol, i learnt french at school, until last year and im having problems understanding th french version, though i could understand bits of it.

    "Qu'elle soit couronnée en temps de paix
    Ville de lumière, ville d'amour."

    this is my favourite part when i read it aloud with my impression of a french accent, and its the part that my limited french allowed me to understand before turning to the translation.

    :-) well done

    Very unlike your usual work, but this is simply devine - a very powerful poem in both languages. You impress me!

    Dynamicly challenging

    PARIS, JE T'AIME D'AMOUR Letra de Maurice Chevalier Ô mon Paris ville idéale Il faut quitter dès ce soir Adieu, ma belle capitale, Adieu...
    Wow, this muse is a fantabulously creative view; I love the “sweet sentiment,” so enchantingly ascribed. Hence, thus reminds me of my old fiancé "Eric Lassue," who resided in Paris France (not knowing then that my genealogy line descends from many of the renowned French royals)… Thus, King Philip III (The Bold) Capet of Poissy, Yvelines, Ile-de-France, France, and his son Philippe IV (The Fair) are French; although I am not taught in that exquisite and exotic language. Thanks so much for sharing!

    I always thought French was a widely spoken and taught language. I have posted a translation for the educationally deprived.

    Perhaps your motto should be "when relating on an international scale" one should not be rude, but converse in a general accepted and understood language. Unless, of course, pray-tell "I might out-shine you- with a language that you wouldn't understand (he-he)!
