I thought this was very pretty! Was it you doing the vocals the whole way through?
And did you write in french and then translate?

[encrefloue]

Thank you! And you're write on both counts; all the vocals are me, and I wrote it first in French, then translated it. I tried to sneak in some slant rhymes in the English translation where I could to get some of the feel of the original, but it only really worked out in the verses.

I’m currently learning French, so I appreciate that this is written in both. Nice practice for me. Very pretty!

[encrefloue]

Oh, that's great that you're studying French! Bonne continuation :) Thanks for reading and listening!

[pixiebelle]

Yes! I’m moving to France, my boyfriend is French. I took four years in high school but that was so long ago. I used to be almost fluent, but not so much these days.

[encrefloue]

Oh wow, that's a big transition! I used to teach French in a high school, so I've done a lot of internet-scouring for resources in the classroom. Let me know if you need anything with your studies!

Thank you very much!

I liked that the music was there - the way I read it was definitely not the way it was sung. I don't speak french so I appreciate the beautiful imagery in english.

[encrefloue]

I do agree-the tone of theEnglish does read fairly heavily without the music. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.

This is so beautiful - in both languages!

[encrefloue]

Thank you so much! :)
