Montreal and Matane, Québec and Canada, along with the entire world, lost a good and a great man on November 18, 2022 (https://bit.ly/3HJZ2Et). Bambi had an earlier post honouring his legacy, shown further below.
Indeed, Mr. Jean Lapointe was a brother, a father, a grand-father, an actor, a singer, a senator, and an inspiring man who struggled yet helped others. He was a man of heart, humility, and of faith. He was a great Canadian and Québecker.
Today, and if she may, Bambi will send her heartfelt condolences to his family and all his loved ones. She will do so with a lovely song by Mr. Lapointe himself entitled “Chante-la ta chanson” [Sing your song]. Below, you can listen to it, if you wish, and read a quick English translation (followed by the original French lyrics). “Merci bien”. Thank you and may your memory be eternal, Mr. Lapointe ❤️.
A quick English translation of the lyrics, with the help of Mr. Google Translate
“Sing your song
The song of your heart, the song of your life
sing your song
The bird does it, the wind does it, the child does it too
sing your song
Don’t be afraid, go ahead
Everyone has their own melody inside
sing your song
She sure is pretty
Sing it that your life is beautiful
All the streams run away in the sun
All the flowers of bee romances
Even the rain plays a symphony
Tell me why would you be sad today
Sing, sing
sing your song
The song of your heart, the song of your life
sing your song
The bird does it, the wind does it, the child does it too
sing your song
Don’t be afraid, go ahead
Everyone has their own melody inside
sing your song
She sure is pretty
Sing it; how beautiful is your life
Can’t you hear the concert of joy
Everything that lives lets its voice be heard
Even the gray sky makes its storms sing
There’s a sun behind every cloud
Sing, sing
sing your song
The song of your heart, the song of your life
sing your song
The bird does it, the wind does it, the child does it too
sing your song
Don’t be afraid, go ahead
Everyone has his/her own melody inside
sing your song
It is surely pretty
Sing it; how beautiful is your life
sing your song
The song of your heart, the song of your life
sing your song
The bird does it, the wind does it, the child does it too
sing your song
Don’t be afraid, go ahead
Everyone has his/her own melody inside
sing your song
It is surely pretty
Sing it; how beautiful is your life
sing your song
The song of your heart, the song of your life
sing your song
The bird does it, the wind does it, the child does it too
sing your song“
The original French lyrics
“Chante-la ta chanson
La chanson de ton cœur, la chanson de ta vie
Chante-la ta chanson
L’oiseau le fait, le vent le fait, l’enfant le fait aussi
Chante-la ta chanson
N’aie pas peur, vas-y
Chacun a sa mélodie au fond de lui
Chante-la ta chanson
Elle est sûrement jolie
Chante-le qu’elle est belle ta vie
Tous
les ruisseaux font des fugues au soleil
Toutes les fleurs des romances aux abeilles
Même la pluie joue une symphonie
Dis-moi pourquoi tu serais triste aujourd’hui
Chante, chante
Chante-la
ta chanson
La chanson de ton cœur, la chanson de ta vie
Chante-la ta chanson
L’oiseau le fait, le vent le fait, l’enfant le fait aussi
Chante-la ta chanson
N’aie pas peur, vas-y
Chacun a sa mélodie au fond de lui
Chante-la ta chanson
Elle est sûrement jolie
Chante-le qu’elle est belle ta vie
N’entends-tu
pas le concert de la joie
Tout ce qui vit laisse entendre sa voix
Même le ciel gris fait chanter ses orages
Y a un soleil derrière chaque nuage
Chante, chante
Chante-la
ta chanson
La chanson de ton cœur, la chanson de ta vie
Chante-la ta chanson
L’oiseau le fait, le vent le fait, l’enfant le fait aussi
Chante-la ta chanson
N’aie pas peur, vas-y
Chacun a sa mélodie au fond de lui
Chante-la ta chanson
Elle est sûrement jolie
Chante-le qu’elle est belle ta vie
Chante-la
ta chanson
La chanson de ton cœur, la chanson de ta vie
Chante-la ta chanson
L’oiseau le fait, le vent le fait, l’enfant le fait aussi
Chante-la ta chanson
N’aie pas peur, vas-y
Chacun a sa mélodie au fond de lui
Chante-la ta chanson
Elle est sûrement jolie
Chante-le qu’elle est belle ta vie
Chante-la ta chanson
La chanson de ton cœur, la chanson de ta vie
Chante-la ta chanson
L’oiseau le fait, le vent le fait, l’enfant le fait aussi
Chante-la ta chanson“.
