And the four right chords can make me cry.

The movie La Vie en Rose, a biography about French singer Edith Piaf, gave me a new-found appreciation for the French. We always listened to French music when I was younger, mainly because my dad loved it. But also because, unlike a lot of useless American music that focuses on the superficial aspects of life; the French convey a message through their songs and a lesson that should be learned from their romantic and meditated lyrics.
Carla Bruni, the new First Lady of France, is my favorite french artist and her song Chanson Triste, which translates to mean "Sad Song", literally brings me to tears.
This is the translation of the lyrics, not as moving as if i understood French syntax I am sure.
But still, simple and heart-wrenching and full of what the city of Love is famous for.

Sad Song, Just for you

A little sad song, I believe

Three times, ruffled words.

Some notes, and all my regrets.

All my regrets of us two

Are at the end of my fingers

Like C D semi F

It is a song of faded love

Three times

Nothing of our lives

Three times

Nothing like this melody

What there remains of us two

Sung with the hollow of my voice

Like C, D semi F

It is a song.

It is a song with memories

Not to forget itself without anything to say

To forget itself without anything to say.
