Joli garçon - Pink Martini ft. China Forbes | Live from Portland - 2021
Come join the party! Pink Martini's Summer 2022 TOUR tickets are on sale now at: http://pinkmartini.com/shows/ Excerpted from Pink Martini's live concert at Edgefield in Portland, "Joli garçon" is an original song in French, written by Thomas Lauderdale, China Forbes, Yves Verbraeken and Bavo Defurne as the centerpiece of the 2016 musical film "Souvenir," starring the legendary Isabelle Huppert as a once-famous singer making a comeback. Filmed on a rainy day in September 2021, soon after the band started touring again after a long hiatus during quarantine, this performance features lead singer China Forbes, bandleader/pianist Thomas Lauderdale, Andrew Borger on drums, and Thomas Barber on trumpet. LYRICS: Combien de nuits sans sommeil Combien de jours sans soleil? Les jours sans amour c’est fini Tu souris et tu dis: Viens-tu au Pays des Merveilles? Veux-tu balayer le passé? Joli garçon, je dis oui Bras de béton, je dis oui Coeur de bonbon, je dis oui Seul vit l’amour ou vit l’envie... Oui mon amour Cueillons les fruits Sans perdre un jour ni même une nuit! Mon cheri... Joie du retour tu chasses mes ennuis Tu peins de ta main Les couleurs de ma vie... ___________________________________________ How many nights without sleep? How many days without sun? The days without love are over You smile, and you say: Will you come to Wonderland? Will you leave the past behind? Pretty boy, I say yes Arms of concrete, I say yes Heart of candy, I say yes Love only lives where there is desire Yes, my love Let’s gather the fruits Without losing a day or another night My darling... The joy of returning You chase away my unhappiness You paint with your hand The colors of my life LINEUP: Thomas M.
