Song help!

[fire_dancer]

I have a song that I've absolutely fallen in love with, and want badly to dance to. However, the only place I've heard it is on Youtube, and nobody I've sent it to seems to know what the song is.

I was hoping I could offer it to everyone on here, in hopes that someone (far wiser than I am!) knows what it is called and who sings it.

Thanks!

I don't know it, but it's very pretty and I can see why you'd want to dance to it!

Ooh, I really like the song. Am very curious to know the name of it as well.

Also enjoyed the dancing in the video.

Unfamiliar with the song, but I know the couple. I'll try to call them and ask unless someone else replies in the interim.

Really nice song .. sadly I too am unfamiliar with it ..The lyrics are French I believe .. if someone could figure out what exactly shes saying we might be able to Google the words .. the chorus sounds like "oui, je l'attend" ??

Followed up on my own lead and found the Connie Dover- La Fontaine (The Fountain) which matches the song .. different version perhaps.

Its Nels and Theresa!

hmm, sounds like the same song actually, they just modified the tempo to be slower.

The lyrics match, they seemed to have started half way through the song, perhaps a usual practice just to take a section of a song?

Jean, mon ami, a la guerre et allé
A la guerre et allé Jean, mon ami
Jean, mon ami, a la guerre et allé
Pour un bouton de rose que je lui refusai

Oui, je l'attends, je l'attends
Je l'attends que mon coeur aime
Oui, je l'attends, je l'attends
Je l'attends celle que mon coeur aime tant

(repeat)

Just heard back from Nels, and he says that they were given the song on a unlabled disc, and told to use it. He has no idea what it is.

I think the mystery is solved though. It's the second half of La Fountaine, with a tempo shift.

About... 107.5 BPM to 88.5 BPM? 20% slower?

 

[Angel HI]

Yes, just received confirmation that it is La Fontaine...edited.

Thanks so much everyone!

I'm thrilled to know what it is.... and sending out big virtual dancer-forum hugs to all of you who helped track it down!

May be another version, may be anybody else need it...

Really nice song Shang Wen Jie - A la claire fontaine
