une fleur jolie
marguerite ma mere patiente
seule fiere et forte
a pretty flower
marguerite my patient mother
alone proud and strong
elle adorait couture
sa fille a marche toujours
dans son ombre
she loved fashion
her daughter always walked
in her shadow

ReplyDeleteTino Rossi certainly had a voice to fall in love with! Each if these is a delight.
ReplyDeleteThis took me back so many years to the post war in Britain. How popular Cherry Blossom Pink was on the radio. This was so moving for me I was almost in tears.
