Bonjour 2021!

Now playing on my French song playlist:

Title: La Java bleue

Songwriters: Géo Koger, Noël Renard, Vincent Scotto

Performed by: Fréhel

Thanks to Don of Operas and cycling, and travel for suggesting this French song for my playlist. Did you know there’s a square in Paris named after the singer, Fréhel? Read more about it in Don’s post: Belleville!

Lyrics I like:

C’est la java bleue

La java la plus belle

Celle qui ensorcelle

Et que l’on danse les yeux dans les yeux

Translation:

It’s the blue Java (a type of fast waltz)

The most beautiful Java

The one which enchants

And which we dance eye to eye

I like to listen to songs en français, so I won’t forget the French I learned in school! Are you studying French? I hope you’ll find this series entertaining and helpful, too!

Got a French song I should add to my playlist? Let me know in the comments below!
