今年も紅葉、枯葉の季節になりました。
おじさんの好きな「Autumn Leaves」
もともとは1945年のフランスの歌らしいです。
"Les feuilles mortes" (literally "Dead Leaves")
作曲：Joseph Kosma 、作詞：Jacques Prévert
1946年の映画「Les Portes de la Nuit」でYves Montand が歌ったのが始まりとか
英語版は1947年にJohnny Mercerさんが作詞されたそうです。
以降、ジャズのスタンダードになったとか。
英語の映画 Autumn Leaves (1956) (Joan Crawford 主演)で、Nat King Cole が歌ったそうです。
Nat King Cole - Autumn Leaves
YVES MONTAND - Les Feuilles Mortes
This song "Les Feuilles Mortes" was wrote by the french surrealist poet Jacques Prévert. In 1945, Prévert wrote the film script "Les Portes de la Nuit" (a film of Marcel Carné - 1946), from a ballet "Le Rendez-Vous" created by Roland Petit in 1945.
The two first verses of a song give the title : "Les enfants qui s'aiment s'embrassent debout/contre les Portes de la Nuit". Jean Gabin and Marlene Dietrich had acepted to play the two characters, but at last, they changed for another movie : "Martin Roumagnac".
A young french singer presented by Edith Piaf :
Yves Montand plays this very pessimist film and sung "Les Feuilles Mortes".
The music was created, before, by Joseph Kosma for the ballet "Le Rendez-Vous" in 1945, and Prévert wrote, after, the words for the movie.
The poem was published, after the death of Jacques Prévert, in the book "Soleil de Nuit" in 1980.
