I'm searching for the translated French lyrics of the song L-O-V-E, popularized by Nat 'King' Cole with music by Bert Kaempfert and original English lyrics by Milt Gabler. This is the well-known song that begins "L - is for the way you look at me; O - is for the only one I see..." Because of the hyphens in the name, the title of the song seems to be noted in multiple ways, including "L-O-V-E", "L.O.V.E.", and "Love". The best I've been able to find so far are the original English lyrics [www.lyricsfreak.com/n/nat-king-cole/98056.html] and a cryptic reference to a French recording made in Canada [www.collectionscanada.ca/discologue-bin/itemdisp/l=1/r=1/i=11169/d=0] by singer Pierre Lalonde. I am pretty sure that after this song hit the charts in the US it was translated and covered in a number of other languages?including French?by various artists, but for the life of me I can't find it. I'm setting the price at $25 because not only do I want the answer, but I'll be extremely curious to see what your search strategy is that turns it up! |

Here's a tiny clue that might help. On a Canadian site, I learned that the French version of the song may be called "Je ne repartirai pas," meaning "I won't leave again." It is not uncommon for the French and English lyrics of a song to be quite different from one another. "Je ne repartirai pas (Love) (Kaempfert; Gabler) Pierre Lalonde" http://www.collectionscanada.ca/discologue-bin/resultsum/m=0/e=0/h=25/p=1/f=CO/t=+Kaempfert/l=1 |

I know this question is expired, but I'm kind of interested in the answer too. I hope people are still working on it. Here is what I found by searching the BMI hyper-repetoire (available at http://www.bmi.com/ in the bottom left corner of page) JE NE REPARTIRAI PAS (Legal Title) BMI Work #760836 Songwriter/Composer Current Affiliation CAE/IPI # DELLEME JEAN SACEM 7853091 GABLER MILT ASCAP 63595948 KAEMPFERT BERT GEMA 76253764 Publishers SCREEN GEMS-EMI MUSIC INC BMI 36205509 The name Jean Delleme is different from the title listing in BMI for L.O.V.E. Maybe this is the name of the French lyricist? Hope this is helpful. Maybe someone who knows a bit more about how music is indexed can do something with this info. Good luck! |
