Bid Cities: Céline Dion's Gift to Paris 2012

Paris, June 21, 2005 - World-renowned singer Céline Dion has recorded a new version of the song 'A Paris' to mark the "Fête de la Musique" ("Music Day") today.

An internationally-known classic by Francis Lemarque, the song is a symbol of Paris that has captured the musical imagination of generations.

In a message to Bertrand Delanoë, the Mayor of Paris and Paris 2012 President, Ms. Dion paid tribute to the city that holds a special place in her heart and the Olympic bid that she is supporting. She declared: "It means a lot to me to support Paris 2012. It is as a French woman at heart that I offer you the hymn "A Paris".

Bertrand Delanoë, moved by this gesture, expressed his gratitude to this immense artist.

Accompanied by a 500-strong chorus, Ms. Dion has given the song a new spirit and emotion and from 'Music Day', the song is online on the Paris 2012 website: www.parisjo2012.fr.

Typical french song. When I heard the original song, I thought I wouldn't like it, as I don't like that kind of song. But Céline's voice is great, and it's always nice to hear her sing nesw things.

I love It !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!         

VIVE PARIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LD1977]

Yeaaaaah, I want a video for that song! Céline who is at the famous places in Paris and a romantic clip, maybe with René in it? LOL, that would be fantastic!!! Like the video for Truly, madly, deeply from Savage Garden. In a kind of different colour, sort of black and white but with some colours in it, they are looking for each other anywhere in the city, you see famous spots (this is the ppart where they promote Paris) and at the end they find each other... Sooooooooooooo romantic! *sigh*  

[Kye]

amazing  

[Koolan]

I love this song, it's so French.    Paris must win the bid Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala

English translation of the lyrics:

Quote

In Paris
When a love blossoms
It creates for weeks
Two hearts which smile to each other
Just because they're in love
In Paris

During spring
On the rooves the weathercock
Spin and tease the wind
With the first wind
That goes by uninterested
heedlessly

'Cause the wind
When it comes to Paris
has only one worry
which is to go waste its time
In all the wealthy districts
Of Paris

The sun
which is its old mate
is at the party too
And like two schoolboys
They go happily
To Paris

Since the taking of the Bastille
In Paris
In all the suburbs
And at each crossroads
There are boys
And there are girls
Who dance on the cobblestones
All day long
Turning
and turning
In Paris
Yes

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh perfect, perfect, perfect!!!!!

I really love this song for what it is: an old-fashioned french song. And Céline lived up to it, she made it sound perfect.

My dear Céline never let's me down, she rocks!

[piglot82]

It is a song that would have to grow on me.  I don't particularly like the style but Celine voice is perfect.  I would love for Paris to get the bid it would be wonderful to see Celine sing at the olympics again.

[CelineTheBest5]

Celine´s voice WWWWWWWWWWOW So great!
