Ma PremiÄ‚¨re Chanson
Barbra Streisand · Je M'Appelle Barbra [1966]
Avec ma voix autour de quelques mots,
J'ai tant jouÄ‚Š avec ton nom,
Que j'ai vu naÄ‚Žtre une chanson.
J'avais dans mes mains,
Ton coeur et le mien.
Ce vieux piano revient toujours,
Au premier jour de mon premier amour,
Chaque seconde avait ton nom,
Et j'ai trouvÄ‚Š cette chanson.
