It was released in 1960 and its music was composed by Mr. Paul de Margerie. This French-Canadian song is entitled &#8220;<em>Ton visage<\/em>&#8221; [&#8220;<em>Your Face&#8221;<\/em>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahead of his national funeral (<a href=\"https:\/\/shorturl.at\/BQe1j\">https:\/\/shorturl.at\/BQe1j<\/a> ; <a href=\"https:\/\/shorturl.at\/ayQdN\">https:\/\/shorturl.at\/ayQdN<\/a>), which will take place at the Marie-Reine-du-Monde Cathedral Basilica (June 1st, 2024; Montreal, Qu\u00e9bec), Ms. Elaine Thibert paid tribute to Ferland by recording &#8220;<em>Ton visage<\/em>&#8220;. Bravo to her for the moving performance. Congratulations to the talented pianist, called Mr. Emmanuel Pitois, and thanks also to <em>&#8220;groupe Paradoxe<\/em>&#8221; for this beautiful production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the <em>YouTube<\/em> video below, if you are interested, you can listen to the original song by Mr. Ferland himself. For those of you who do not understand French, you can find a quick English translation at the end of this post. Bambi is grateful to her friend <em>Mr. Google Translate<\/em> who stayed up late with her to help translate it :). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May Mr. Ferland&#8217;s memory be eternal. May Qu\u00e9bec and Canada always cherish not just his pen and his voice, but also his unforgettable face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Ton visage\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Pnt2pu2ZaSg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Ton visage\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GQWTFvHFWeM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8220;<em>Brown eyes for the day, green eyes for love, your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Eyes that I will love, for two eternities, your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>A mouth forever, sweet like a secret, your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>It&#8217;s beautiful, it&#8217;s warm, it&#8217;s the flower of my skin, your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Closing my eyes, I sense it in the hollow of the clouds<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>I had to close my eyes, I should have tied a knot to the clouds<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>The wind turned and the rain blew me away, your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>And I got drunk, to try to forget your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>But it remains stuck, established on my past, which misses your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>I redraw it and the wind blows it back, your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>I am the captain of a boat of sadness that will never sink<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>I have twice the sorrow, of a hundred captains who will no longer embark<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>And I got drunk to try to forget your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>And I get drunk again, sober and starboard, what a trip<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Yesterday was tomorrow, tomorrow will always be your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">It <em>persists in sticking, like a wet flag, in retreat<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em> I redraw it and the wind blows it back, your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Brown eyes for the day, green eyes for love, your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Eyes that I will love, for two eternities, your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>It&#8217;s beautiful, it&#8217;s warm, it&#8217;s the flower of my skin, your face<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Closing my eyes, I sense it in the hollow of the clouds<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Brown eyes for the day, green eyes for love, your face<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/heart.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29138\" style=\"width:244px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/heart.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/heart-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who hasn&#8217;t dreamed of seeing the face of a lost lover or of a deceased loved one?
