At that time, in France, everything coming from America was stricking gold, so they presented the song to her as being the soundtrack of a western movie called "You'll never see it"; she was influenced and made the record!
The song, as "I Will Follow Him," became a US hit in 1963 when released by Little Peggy March. With it, the 15-year-old became the youngest female to hit the top of the US charts.
Other notable covers of the song have been performed by: Bobby Darin, Ricky Nelson, and Percy Faith and His Orchestra. Of course, most recently, the song made a splash when it became part of Whoopi Goldberg's 1992 movie, "Sister Act."1 and 2
More recently, in 1999, the song 'I will follow him" was sampled by Eminem in his hit "Guilty conscience".
Chariot
Franck Pourcel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pour t'accompagner au bout des jours
Laisse moi venir près de toi
Sur le grand chariot de bois et de toile
Nous nous en irons
Du côté où l'on verra le jour
Dans les premiers reflets du ciel
Avant la chaleur du soleil
La plaine, la plaine, la plaine
N'aura plus de frontière
La terre, la terre, sera notre domaine
Que j'aime, que j'aime
Ce vieux chariot qui tangue
Qui tangue, qui tangue
Si tu veux de moi
Pour dormir à ton côté toujours
L'été sous la lune d'argent
L'hiver dans la neige et le vent
Alors dis-le moi, je pars avec toi
La plaine, la plaine, la plaine
N'aura plus de frontière
La terre, la terre, verra notre domaine
Que j'aime, que j'aime
Ce vieux chariot qui tremble
Qui tremble, qui tremble
Si tu veux de moi
De ma vie et de mon fol amour
Le long des torrents et des bois
Au cœur des dangers et des joies
Alors dis-le moi, je pars avec toi
The lyrics to Franck Pourcel's song "Chariot" describe a longing to escape and travel with someone on a wooden and canvas chariot. The singer is willing to leave behind everything they know and follow this person to the end of their days. Together on this chariot, they will travel to where the sun rises and see the first light of dawn. They will cross the plain without borders and make the earth their home. The singer expresses their love for this old chariot that rocks and sways, even when it trembles with danger. They offer their life and love to this person, to follow them through the woods and rivers, through the good times and bad. The song is a romantic way of expressing the desire for freedom, adventure, and love.

En sus fronteras la turgencia,
la lozanía y el frescor de piel.
Sus regiones de hembra,
mies dorada, manjar libidinoso.
Manaderos de leche y de miel.
Aroma de feromonas pulsátiles
en la extensión total de su piel.
Una suerte de encanto hormonal.
Cómo admiraba mi ser entero
lo que en su naturaleza había.
Aquella linda geografía.
En la cúspide misma de sus senos,
copos de chocolate bistro.
En su voz, mi nombre masculino
resonaba en tres acordes finos,
en tres cascadas de agua viva,
en tres guirnaldas verde oliva.
Si esto que vivo iba a ser la vida,
soy capaz de vivirla de nuevo,
con tal de estar otra vez con ella.
Hice tantas cosas para tenerla.
Tal vez algunas fueron locura.
En tanto otras, desaciertos quizás.
Sumando y restando, mi sentir
es que la amo demasiado todavía.
Llevo conmigo la sensación
de estar siempre en sus brazos.
Amo mi pasado. En él la conocí.
La tuve conmigo y la amé también.
En una de esas a lo mejor me amó.
A su modo, bajo sus condiciones.
En su manera de vivir el momento.
En su propia convicción de amar.
Qué más decir. Qué más confesar.
AMO MI PASADO es propiedad intelectual

@jimstokes6742
Could have scrapped the guitar that ruins it. Sub a combo on oboe and French horn instead.
@catholiccowboy8545
A great song, great composition and a great musical arrangement by Franck Pourcel. The 1961 original music was titled " Chariot". It was intended for a western movie.
@cricketbat09
A brilliant composition. Timeless quality and beauty.

LOVED this music and thanks for posting! I remember hearing this lovely instrumental on a San Francisco radio station in 1986. It might have been KABL at the time and it played a lot of wonderful instrumentals that some called "Elevator Music" for some reason while most considered it "Easy Listening" and "Adult Contemporary" types of music.
