Ces petites choses
Jean Sablon Lyrics
Le jour o?? vous m??avez laiss??
Vous avez cru tout effacer
Dans votre geste
Mais il me reste
Mille t??moins des jours pass??s
Un peu de vous partout qui tra??ne
M??apporte les joies et les peines
Ce vieux billet, ch??rie, qui me rappelle
Les nuits ?? bord du Normandie, si belles
Ces petites choses
Me parlent de vous
Ce doux refrain d??amour que Crosby chante
...bababababa...
Le vent du soir l??-bas qui se lamente
Et votre porte close
Ces petites choses
Me parlent de vous
Ch??rie, pourquoi m??avoir quitt???
Pourquoi m??avoir quitt??
Apr??s ce que nous avons ??t???
Ce "toi et moi" ??crit ?? notre image
Ouvert ce soir ?? la derni??re page
Partout o?? mes yeux se posent
Des petites choses
Me parlent de vous
Le parc au soir, lorsque la cloche sonne
Ce vieux boudoir o?? ne vient plus personne
Partout o?? mes yeux se posent
Des petites choses
Me parlent de vous.

Jean Sablon (Nogent-sur-Marne 25 March 1906 – 24 February 1994 at Cannes) was a popular French singer and actor.
The son of a composer, with brothers and sisters who had successful careers of their own in musical entertainment, Jean Sablon studied piano at the Lyceé Charlemagne in Paris. He left before graduating to enroll at the Paris Conservatoire in order to concentrate on a vocal career. He started in the cabarets of Paris at the age of 17 Read Full BioJean Sablon (Nogent-sur-Marne 25 March 1906 – 24 February 1994 at Cannes) was a popular French singer and actor.
The son of a composer, with brothers and sisters who had successful careers of their own in musical entertainment, Jean Sablon studied piano at the Lyceé Charlemagne in Paris. He left before graduating to enroll at the Paris Conservatoire in order to concentrate on a vocal career. He started in the cabarets of Paris at the age of 17, and was subsequently accompanied on his first album by the pianist/composer Mireille, whose song Couchés dans le foin became a great success. Later, he partnered the wildly popular Mistinguett at the Casino de Paris and boosted his career considerably. He was the first cabaret singer to use a microphone in his stage act. In the 1920s he spent time in Brazil where his recordings remain extremely popular today.
In 1937 he won the Grand Prix du Disque for the song "Vous qui passez sans me voir," written for him by Charles Trenet and Johnny Hess. That same year, he went to the United States, where he sang on live radio broadcasts for CBS and made several records in the English language. On Broadway, he worked with luminaries such as Cole Porter and George Gershwin. He returned to Paris but with the German occupation of France in World War II, he went back to America for the duration.
Jean Sablon became one of the most widely acclaimed male French singers, considered second only in overall lifetime popularity to Maurice Chevalier. His records sold in the millions around the world and he is frequently referred to as the French equivalent of America's Bing Crosby. During his career, he recorded with some of the world's top musicians, including Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli. Sablon is credited with arranging Reinhardt's debut in a fashionable cabaret in 1933. He is also recognized for his talents as a lyricist and a composer. Sablon appeared in a number of motion pictures and television films performing as a vocalist or pianist, his last coming in 1984 when he sang "April in Paris" in Mistral's Daughter, the popular American TV miniseries filmed in France.
Jean Sablon died in 1994 and was interred in the Cimetière du Montparnasse in Paris.

Le jour où vous m’avez laissé
Vous avez cru tout effacer
Dans votre geste
Mais il me reste
Mille témoins des jours passés
Un peu de vous partout qui traîne
M’apporte les joies et les peines
Ce vieux billet, chérie, qui me rappelle
Les nuits à bord du Normandie, si belles
La lampe qui repose
Ces petites choses
Me parlent de vous
Ce doux refrain d’amour que Crosby chante
...bababababa...
Le vent du soir là-bas qui se lamente
Et votre porte close
Ces petites choses
Me parlent de vous
Chérie, pourquoi m’avoir quitté?
Pourquoi m’avoir quitté
Après ce que nous avons été?
Ce "toi et moi" écrit à notre image
Ouvert ce soir à la dernière page
Partout où mes yeux se posent
Des petites choses
Me parlent de vous
Le parc au soir, lorsque la cloche sonne
Ce vieux boudoir où ne vient plus personne
Partout où mes yeux se posent
Des petites choses
Me parlent de vous.

Mon père qui a 97 ans et qui est toujours en vie a navigué sur ce bateau .. Il était le plus jeune mousse embauché sur le paquebot Le Normandie en 1932...

A very evocative song. I was given a copy of this exact same record by a lady who kept it throughout the time she was imprisoned by the Germans during the war. I played it regularly and them forgot it. Recently I found it again - broken. I was shattered. Thanks for sharing it.

I feel bad that only ten thousand people have seen this video, but I'm happy that even though so many people trying to find the music beautiful and true. If you are interested in this type of music, I recommend also:
J'attendrai ... - Lucienne Delyle
Eva Busch - Il ne faut pas un rêve briser
Celui que t'attends - Dany Dauberson

magnifique ce diaporama et cette belle voix de cette chanson va très bien ensemble!

Lovely photos of the incomparable Ship of Light. AND Eric Marscwitz's incomparable "These Foolish Things" en francais! The song has a backstory that could make a feature film in itself, involving 30's Hollywood, the BBC, Anna Mae Wong, the wartime British SOE , Edwina Mountbatten, London cafe society and the unjustly forgotten Lesley Hutchinson. Until now, though, I'd never known it had a French translation. Thank you for posting a beautiful video.

@Princess Madeira At one time it was thought also to have been written about Anna May Wong, with whom the lyricist had a then-scandalous inter-racial relationship while working as a screenwriter in Hollywood. But Eric Maschwitz (aka Holt Marvell) denied this. Maschwitz was the Cambridge-educated son of Lithuanian-Jewish immigrants to the UK, who became a higher-up at the BBC and a colonel in the British SOE during the war. And then there's Leslie Hutchinson, the Bahamian law student and cabaret singer who became the darling of London cafe society (as well as the lover of Edwina Mountbatton and quite possibly Lord Louis) , who literally discovered the song buried in a stack of sheet music in Maschwitz's BBC office and made it a hit by the end of that week. This is a song that should be a movie!

It might actually be about Jean Ross, the inspiration behind Sally Bowles

Classic nostalgia condensing in tears. Even the Pleyel piano gets a credit.
