Bambi loves Ms. Ginette Reno. Indeed, she admires her incredible voice and inspiring career. We are so lucky (blessed even!) to have her in Québec/Canada.
Tonight, almost randomly, Bambi discovered one of Ms. Reno’s most uplifting songs entitled “Merci la vie“, which means “Thank You Life“. Below you can find an English translation (in bold) for you, taken from Musixmatch, followed by the melody.
Bambi hopes you will enjoy this song as much as she did. If she may now, she would like to offer it to a good friend, much talented in gratitude toward life, who also enjoys travelling around the world (e.g., Yerevan among other destinations).
