Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt - Eric Helgar & Adalbert Lutter & Zarah Leander!(1937)

Eric Helgar and Adalbert Lutter and his orchestra bring their version of the sultry tango-habanera "Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt" from the 1937 melodrama "La Habanera". This movie of course starred Zarah Leander and was directed by Detlev Sierck who, in Hollywood, became Douglas Sirk, the master of melodrama... The song went around the world and was recorded by Zarah Leander in German, Swedish and French but also by singers such as Damia (in French), Greta Keller and many others...
I really like this version by Lutter and Helgar, as I find it very reflective of the movie's exotic atmosphere...
About the record :
Telefunken A2831/22622
The video is a selection of scenes from the movie, giving an impression of what the movie is about. You will see Zarah Leander? as Astree Sternhjelm, a Swedish woman who falls madly in love while visiting a tropical island... At her side you will see Ferdinand Marian (as Don Pedro de Avila, the husbands she grows to resent), Karl Martell (as Dr. Sven Nagel an old friend who saves her) and Michael Domburg-Schulz (her son).
Enjoy!

Merci Camille!

L'un des meilleurs mélodrame sous la direction de douglas sirk en 1937. Zarah y est sublime et sa chanson encore perdure au travers du temps.

Carnival which is going to start soon could not do without them. And slow-foxes, for a moment of rest...:)

Fantastic series of tangos (sound here corrected...?).
I am looking forward for ... waltzes...;)
Thank you.

[@Leotaurus1975]

Thank you Jerzy! I looked through my collection, but I do not have a lot of waltzes... Will some foxtrots do?

Bei Vater (Jg. 1919) hat mir als Kind erzählt, dass sie beim Kommis im 2. Weltkrieg die Titelzeile in der Verballhornung gesungen haben:
Der Wind weht um die "Sch…haustür" und eine Stimme ruft: "Papier!"
