Mon Pays et Paris..

A song by Madeleine Peyroux. This was one of my favorite songs from her. She had an unique vocal style which I couldn't describe it. The song was about two love between Paris and New York (it was written 'Manhattan' so I guessed another city was New York). So jazzy, created a serenity in a lounge or semi-outdoor café. 

But I was in my friends house, in the pool side. I was alone there sitting on a swing, looking to the outstanding landscape of mountain and green green prairie, and listening to this song. A sunny day and calm breeze. Slowly I fell asleep there..

On dit qu'au dela des mers
La-bas sous le ciel clair
Il existe une cite
Au sejour enchante
Et sous les grands arbres noirs
Chaque soir
Vers elle s'en va tout mon espoir

J'ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris
Par eux toujours
Mon coeur est ravi
Manhattan est belle
Mais a quoi bon le nier
Ce qui m'ensorcelle
C'est Paris, c'est Paris tout entier

Le voir un jour
C'est mon reve joli
J'ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris
