French chanson: Lucienne Boyer - Le Plus Joli Rêve, 1931

Le Plus Joli Rêve - Lucienne Boyer, Columbia ca 1931 (Paris)
NOTE: I like this song very much for it has its Polish equivalent, known in POland from early 1920s as a "cafe- chantant -romance" and entitled in a very picturesque way, as "Puchowy śniegu tren" (A Downy Train Of A Snow).

The Polish text is completely different: it begins like an Andersen's "The Little Match Girl" story. A poor girl is selling something out in a snowy street in the evening, standing in a gateway, when a rich coach stops in front of her. A "beautiful young gentleman" asks her to accompany him so he can feed her and give a warm coat at his home. So, she gets on a coach, they drive to a wonderful palace and it's where the Andersen's story ends. In next stanzas Polish text becomes really indecent and today, in our new-pruderish times it would be probably forbidden in most of the internet forums as "adolescent sex molestation" . Ugh. I have it somewhere, recorded on "Syrena" and sung by Ochrymowicz. I will try to find it and upload it one day, so you will see.

Quand nous étions petits nous avons fait des songes, adorables mensonges, depuis longtemps partis, dans la blancheur du lit où descendaient les anges, des musiques étranges, nous endormaient la nuit. _Mais le plus joli rêve, c'est le rêve d'amour que l'on fait sur la grève, à l'heure où meurt le jour. Une voix enivrante monte du flot berceur et s'unit, caressante, à la chanson du cœur._ Nous avons lu plus tard qu'on a fait dans l'histoire de beaux rêves de gloire aux plis d'un étendard. Et vous, belle, tout bas, rêvez cette folie d'être toujours jolie en ne vieillissant pas. _Refrain_ Il est d'autres enfin qui, chercheurs de fortune, pour décrocher la lune, font des efforts en vain de chimères grisés, leur idéal caresse un rêve de richesse jamais réalisé. _Refrain_

Bardzo ładne wykonanie Lucienne Boyer. "Śnieg" Andrzeja Własta najlepiej wykonał "Lopek" Krukowski, słyszałam też wykonanie Ewy Demarczyk. Nie umniejszając jej talentu zdecydowanie wolę przedwojenne wykonanie Krukowskiego. Dziękuję. Elżbieta.

Merci, mon cher ami. Boyer has a magnificent voice, far better than the more widely known Piaf. Would love to know that Polish ending; you'll have to tell me someday in person.

@RRS1980PL Prawdopodobnie ma Pan rację, ale ja się opierałam o.Ewe Demarczyk ktora podawała tekst jako Własta. Plagiat?

@barbcard - I totally agree with you about Boyer's smooth, silky, flowing voice and techniques - while Piaff never impressed me with her voice, interpretations or dramatic effects which - in my opinion - were much exaggerated.

[@jamesneilsongrahamloveinth1301]

Lucienne Boyer sings very nicely but a little blandly, for my taste. Piaf was a musical entrepreneur with a knack for roping in the best of composers, arrangers, musical directors and poets (besides composing and writing herself) so her corpus is varied. I prefer her pre-1950 work, before car accidents coarsened her voice . . .
