She does not know about you, but Bambi loves “L’essentiel<\/em>” [The essential thing<\/em>] of our GREAT Canadian singer, Ms. Ginette Reno. This morning, she discovered a beautiful interpretation of this song by another artist, also from Qu\u00e9bec, whom Bambi had the honour to meet in graduate school. She will name Mr. Nicola Ciccone who is filled with both talent and humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a world filled with increased intolerance and indifference, thank goodness, there is also the magic and power of love that can transform us to make us better human beings, not just in the face of dramatic adversity, but also simply yet deeply in our daily lives, as per this super French song, which can be translated as follows (https:\/\/lyricstranslate.com\/en\/lessentiel-essential-thing.html<\/a>):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The essential thing<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is to be loved<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything else matters little<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only truth is<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To count for someone,<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

whatever may happen<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is about entering someone’s\nheart and never leaving it<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is about receiving as much as\nwe wish we could give<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To no longer belong to one’s\nself, to be comforted on account of it<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is to see the joy in another\nand to melt in happiness<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To earn another’s trust and to\nbecome a better person<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The essential thing<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is to be loved<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notwithstanding what may be\nclaimed<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not about being rich or\nfamous<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those are just wind passing\nthrough<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that what is essential\nis made of little nothings<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having someone waiting for you at\nnight, running<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

to greet you<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most beautiful gifts<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

that life has given us<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

is when our name<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

seems like a compliment<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most essential thing<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day after day<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the loud laugh of a child,\nrushing towards you<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And who tugs at your heartstrings\nas a means of saying hello<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What more can you ask for<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When those arms are holding you<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest matters little, the only\ntruth<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is to count for someone<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

no matter what life has in store<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if being one day exiled in a\nforeign country<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

but to have, in one’s heart,\nsomeone to talk to<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is to inspire in another, a\nfeeling so powerful<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That it may survive us beyond\ndeath<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is about being loved, again\nand forever<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Love …<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
