“Les Amants d’un jour”, which has an English version entitled “Lovers for a Day”, is an Edith Piaf\u2019s famous French song (1956). It tells a beautiful yet tragic love story from the point of view of a waitress: a man and a woman who seem to be deeply in love rent a hotel room to spend the night together. They end up committing a suicide pact together. Piaf\u2019s song transcends the young couple’s tragic fate to describe the beauty of their short-lived romance. The song’s lyrics were written by Ms. Claude Del\u00e9cluse and Ms. Michelle Senlis. The music was composed by Ms. Marguerite Monnot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of note, “Les Amants d’un jour” was translated into other languages, including Italian (shared below) and German (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/4xdtnuxp<\/a>). To Bambi’s knowledge, Lebanon-based Mike Massy is the first artist to adapt “Les Amants d’un jour” into the Arabic language. His adaptation is entitled “Gherfi W Srir”, which means “A Room & A Bed”. Mr. Massy’s song is worth listening to until the end of the YouTube video. Bravo to him and to his team of musicians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long live music. Long live love. Long live Mr. Mike Massy’s voice, artistic talent, and high sensitivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
