tough is an understatement- I had nothing better to do so I tried for 3 hours to turn up the lyrics... I went through what felt like every French-language site on the entire [expletive deleted] web and found precisely nothing except for this little
clip, which perhaps someone who understands French better than me can reconstruct part of the song from and use the partial lyrics to search for the rest- but I'm not holding my breath.
There's a song with lyrics on iTunes with the same name, but I think it shares only the title, and made me want to tear my ears off (seriously- if you have iTunes go give it a listen and see if you can tolerate the whole 30second clip without wanting to drink some ipecac as a comparatively pleasant diversion)
Thanks for all the hard work.
I have a Scopitone (ancient music video) of Mme. Zaraï singing the song in my video collection, but the sound quality leaves much to be desired, and I can’t figure out the words. Quelle honte...
