about

Like so many French children who heard their grandmothers singing this song, it lingered in my psyche like a place of innocence and sincerity...

My child's memory got some lyrics wrong, but I left them like that :)

A L'Aube EP = Barefoot-electric, strolling kind of songs. Afloat on the substance of dreams, multiplicity and intuition. In her m/other tongues (French, English & Bulgarian) Tui Mamaki delivers her tender poetic convictions and traditional songs anew - both anchored in a cinematic flow of asymmetrical electric-guitar grooves and stirringly close harmony.

lyrics

À la claire fontaine

Je me suis promenée

J'ai trouve l'eau si claire

Que je m'y suis baignée



Il y a longtemps que je t'aime

Jamais je ne t'oublierai



A la feuille d'un chaine
Je me suis fait sécher

Sur la plus haute branche

Un rossignol chantait



Il y a longtemps que je t'aime

Jamais je ne t'oublierai



A la claire fontaine du coeur

A la claire fontaine du corps



Translation: To the clear fountain I strolled. I found the water so beautiful that I bathed. I have loved you for a long time, I will never forget you. Beneath the oak leaves I was dried. On the highest branch a nightingale sang. I have loved you for a long time, I will never forget you...



To the clear fountain of the heart
To the clear fountain of the body
