Je connais quelques phrases, mais par force de l'avoir entendu. Je ne suis pas un fan de Sardou. :-) I found his position too conservatives, sometimes nationalist, for me. But true, he's a famous singer in France. One cannot be liked by every ones.
I'm Irish and live close to Connemara. Only those of us who have visited France know and love this song. I have very fond memories of being in France and the song being played in Breton bars when they heard I was Irish. Kenavo!!
This song is used to close any party, wedding fest, student party... Everybody holding each other by the shoulder, jumping and turning, shouting the chorus as hard as you can. And the verses we sing only lalala as nobody really knows the lyrics. I can tell you that after a Connemara you have no energy and no voice left.
Ahhhh yes! The moment you hear the beginning of that song, you know it's the end... You know you have to give it all at this moment! And everyone does it!

This song is cleary our hymn (in France). Non-french people can't even imagine how it's in a bar/club/party when this song pops up. Everyone sung, dance, it's beautiful !
Thank you man, sincerly. I fell in love with Ireland and Irish people. Irish, as well as Scottish are France's best allies, we shed our blood together against the English crap and cowards. I hope that one day, I could come and see from my own eyes what i've dreamed since my childhood. Tiocfaidh ár lá, hail France and Ireland
A VERY popular song in France indeed, as well as in the French-speaking part of Belgium. And it is why when we French people go to Ireland, visiting the Connemara is an absolute must.
Tous les Français connaissent cette chanson. Elle est encore souvent jouée dans les mariages, les bals etc, etc, et tout le monde chante à tue-tête. Merci.
I'm Irish and my French teacher played this for us about 30 years ago. I have it on my music library and every so often it comes up on a shuffle. There are a lot of typical Irish names and place names in it. Great song, have seen a video of people shouting along with it at a large party in France.
This song is about the Irish spirit of independence. And as you can tell, it has a very big Celtic inspiration. It is a French song traditionally played at the end of a party by the DJ to announce that the party is soon over or at least that the DJ is leaving. The song is borrowed from resistance and invites the last revelers to dance like a last stand.

As a French girl with Irish roots I have my own interpretation of that particular song. It is all about Irish independence and the scars from the civil war. Michel Sardou used to write very political songs. He has been involved in many polemics because of his political opinions and many songs are to listen ( read) « second degree » as they are mostly sarcastic like « the old time of colonies » that is a denunciation of what happened there. About « les lacs du Connemara » it is a painting of life in Ireland at the early 80’s, a romantic place with a dark past and the physical wound in the north ( black clouds coming from the north) if you need an explained translation just ask me ! I am very emotional with this song as it is a bridge between the two parts in me the French singer, the Irish history and music. And you can believe me it was not simple to find a song with my very Irish name in France (and also someone saying my name correctly 🤪)

Oooooh Michel Sardou what an other iconic singer in France ! So many amazing song ! “Ne m’appelez plus jamais France" ❤️ He was very controversial during all his carrier.
the singer puts himself in the place of the French transatlantic which was called "France" and which was sold to Norway because during the oil crisis it was no longer profitable....it is therefore a cry of despair from the boat which think that France is abandoning it! “Ne m’appelez plus jamais France" it's a cry of despair

Yeaaaaah! You've fallen down the rabbit hole, Dereck, by discovering our National Treasure, Michel Sardou! HE is to French pop music what Mozart was to classical music 👍👍👍
Michel Sardou is a great singer and "Connemara" is like a drama, lyric especially in the crescendo. Thanks for your interest in French singers and your open-mindedness.
Michel Sardou was touring in Ireland with his musicians and producers when after a long hard's work day, they jokingly decided to write a song about Ireland. But, none of them knew the country that much. They went to bed. Early on the next morning, the producer went downtown looking for information in tourism offices and came back with loads of flyers about Ireland. The band laughed a lot and decided to write the song just for fun. It turned out to be a B side on a record but the lyrics were kind of part of irish history/civilization and it became a great hit, one of the top ten here in France.
Nope, they were in southern France. They had left a synthesizer in a car. It couldn't stand the heat, and when they tried it, it sounded like bagpipes, which gave them the idea of writing a song about Scotland. But inspiration did not come, they finally left for Ireland, and wrote this song without having set foot there.
J'ai passé ma soirée à regarder tes vidéos Dereck et j'adore tes réactions sur des chansons qui sont si mythiques pour nous français... On a des monuments en termes de rimes... Merci de faire partager ça ☺️
Hi. Listen "Vladimir Ilitch" from Sardou. Great orchestral song too and the lyrics are about how soviets became fools. I'm a folk metal guy but Sardou 70's/80's songs are greats and Vladimir Ilitch is just awsome title.

Omg your community made you sound this song! 😂 I think it well known in business school and parties. We sang it at 4:00 a.m with some alcohol in our body. Even young people know this song now
3 ปีที่แล้ว +4
I don't know if some sober people can sing that song - except Sardou himself 😁
This song is more of a love declaration mixed with an anthem. In France we almost all agree that his ideas are... Old. But this song... Everyone in France know it. Everyone in France sing it all loud when they're drunk. This song is just really good!
I am really wondering who you are referring to by "we ... All"? And even "his ideas" by the way. Evites d'utiliser un "nous tous" juste parce-que tu t'imagines être une majorité écrasante.
Sardou est un chanteur qui aime chanter son pays je vois pas ce qu'il y a de mal là dedans... Les ricains, le France ou Je suis pour sont des chansons qui font sens. Tu devrais probablement écouter plus ses paroles que ceux qui te disent quoi penser de lui !
It's the song that French fishmen loves. There is no party in French Britain without it, and everybody sing it loud, making noises with his feet 😅😂😂😂 and moving the fist high in rhythm. It's incredible to live it, feel it. Your bones are shaking with that rhythm. 😁
Speaking of smokey voice and Johnny, Michel was a very good friend of him for many years. This song is about the conflict between Northern Ireland and Ireland 🇮🇪 when the song was released, there were attacks on both side of the border. Behind most of his songs there’s always a story.
Very famous song here in France ! You should listen to Claude François's "Magnolias for ever" or "Alexandria Alexandra", he is the original composer, writer and singer of the original "My way" called "Comme d'habitude" in French :)
Yes! I totally agree with this! For English speaking people "my way" is the original song but not at all! Listen to "comme d'habitude" and look at the translated lyrics... It's a sad song...
Hi, for « Le temps des colonies » Sardou is in the skin of a character, he doesn't talk about himself in the first person. It is a humorous song, not a racist one. Sardou is an actor in his songs, he has never been racist, nor homophobic or anything else. Anyway, keep listening to Sardou, he is our best singer!
This man is the 4th generation of a very appreciated artistic dynastie. He made his first appearance on a theatre stage at the very early age of 3 months ! He recorded his first song by the bias of acting when he was chosen to be the very first Enjolras from the original french version of the musical Les Misérables. He was so much praised for the wonder of his voice he decided eventually to make a name for himself in music industry. My favorite songs from is long list of material are Musulmes and Le bac G. He also made a duet with Celine Dion called Voler.
I love that this song has the exact same "group drunk dancing and singing too loud at 3am at a party" vibe for every French person ever, that's beautiful. On the same page, you should react to La Tribu de Dana by Manau, Derek!
Love your reaction. Not easy to explain in short lines how this song has deep connections with french people. One region in France, known as Brittany, has their own language and culture. Their songs have a celtic sound, with bagpipes and binious (Breton bagpipes) and sea shanties. Some success Breton songs in France: French lyrics: Hugues Aufray - Santiano (1961) Tri Yann - la jument de michao (1973) Manau - La tribu de Dana (1998 Pop) Breton lyrics: Nolwenn Leroy - Tri Martolod (2011 - traditional breton song remastered) Bro Gozh ma Zadoù (National Anthem of Brittany) An hini a garan - Denez Prigent (ballad)
Aaah Dereck I love your reactions so much 😍 It's so enjoyable to get the point of view from someone who's not French, and your enthusiasm brings so many good vibes. On a much more recent note, I'd love to see you react to Christophe Willem with "Double Je" or "Berlin". Keep on going!
@@ericm8850 après c'est pas le même contexte, l'un parle d'un majestueux bateaux, et l'autre de son exil forcé du pays. Mais c'est vrai qu'elles sont toutes les deux magnifiques 💙
Dereck don't let the thought police influence you. Michel Sardou just speaks his mind in TV interviews that's all. He is a star since the 60's so of course he's from an other generation. He has an amazing voice and bold songs.
Here in France we use to play this song when the bar or club is about to close to let know is closing and every people (most totaly drunk) dance crazy and sing on it like its the best song ever written !!! For every french people this song is related to so much fun !!!
Dereck qui nous fait une réac sur Sardou et son lac du Conemara ! Dingue ! il va devenir incollable sur notre culture musicale ! chapeau et merci, ça fait plaisir.
Hi Dereck, this song is an hymn dedicated to Ireland, its scenery, its people. The colour of this song (its tempo as you said) is very Irish, very rhythmic...
Michel Sardou said multiple times : A song is good when you can interprate it live and it talks to people. The fact that you wanna see it live prove how right he is and how you understand how Sardou works with all his song. If you can take a look at : Afrique Adieu, Marie Jeanne, en chantant, la maladie d'amour etc ...
You’re gonna love “Afrique Adieu”, another classic by Michel Sardou, it has an amazing melody, bass line, percussions, back up singing, etc etc. 🤤 really looking forward to your reaction on this one!
I already proposed to him with the link the last time but he prefered to do this one. Pfffffff Afrique Adieu musically is MUCH BETTER for a FIRST TIME. Dereck was afraid when he listened to this song! I understand him! lol Not the BEST for a "first baptism"!
I like how you seem so serious in every reaction! xD Finally this song. Kind of an anthem for us Frenchs, so powerful, when you hear it everyone is forced to sing it. A song to know!
Haha this song is so famous in our country. It's a monument !!! And young People knows this song because When we hear this song in bars our discotheques.... This is the end... Evererbody goes out 😁 vive la France 🇫🇷
Je suis arrivé un bon matin du mois de mai... Avec a la main les beignets que ma mère m'avait fait. Il m'ont demandé ! Mon nom mon métier... Mais quand fière de moi j'ai dis artiste de variétés.... A ce moment là je ne sais pas pourquoi j'ai entendu rire un type que je ne connaissais pas !!!! Le rire du sergent....🎶🎵
Dereck I love your show, I am a Frenchman in America. Have you ever made a video about French singer Christophe? He died last year from COVID, he was the pioneer of synths pop in France. Check out his songs, you can start with "Les mots bleus", probably his most famous song, done in collaboration with no other than Jean-Michel Jarre !
Bonjour! See things from far away is sometimes see them better!!! Yours comments are very interestings! You make me rediscover this songs we hear for years without thake the time to analize! Great job!
J'ai toujours entendu cette chanson en fin de soirée, aux mariages, aux anniversaires, aux Karaokés, partout ! Tout le temps ! Mes enfants la connaissent, c'est la tradition !! :D
Qui a une voix magnifique ! I On l'entend chanter sur les Demoiselles de Rochefort, Peau d'Ane et Une chambre en ville de Jacques Demy. Et c'est lui génère le plus de revenus à la SACEM !
Le texte s'inspire finalement du film L'Homme tranquille de John Ford, en évoquant un mariage irlandais et laissant le conflit entre protestants et catholiques en toile de fond. The text is finally inspired by John Ford’s film The Quiet Man, evoking an Irish marriage and leaving the conflict between Protestants and Catholics in the background
From a french living i Korea, i love your positive vibes !!! We need more people like you , enjoying simple things whatever they understand or not the language:) 🙏🥰❤️🇫🇷🇰🇷
Very happy that you took a suggestion of mine ! Here are other songs from M. Sardou. This song is about women in the 80's who are able to do many different things like being an army general and supermodel..., and funny when he says "to access to the Chair of presidency and from there make France hard" ! Only for fun.
Just a note on the lyrics, they were written by Pierre Delanoë who worked a lot with Michel Sardou. Delanoë got his inspiration from the Quiet Man, the John Ford film with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara and from news coverage of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. xx
On weddings, 200% drunk, this is a massive hit and everybody screams/sings it , arm crossed and shoulder to shoulder. Classic « give me another drink » stuff for us
And for other Sardou's songs I recommande Le France (where he shows his voice), La Java de Broadway (very funky song), Une fille aux yeux clairs (a slow but so beautiful song) 😍
"Les lacs du Connemara" is about Ireland. "Le temps des colonies" has been controversial, but it is obviously sarcastic. He is playing a role in his songs. He has always said that.
Magnifique chanson … For those looking for the lyrics ( with a kind of translation 🤪) Terre brûlée au vent Des landes de pierres Autour des lacs, c'est pour les vivants Un peu d'enfer, le Connemara Des nuages noirs qui viennent du nord Colorent la terre, les lacs, les rivières C'est le décor du Connemara Au printemps suivant, le ciel irlandais était en paix Maureen a plongé nue dans un lac du Connemara Sean Kelly s'est dit 'je suis catholique', Maureen aussi L'église en granit de Limerick, Maureen a dit oui De Tipperary, Barry-Connely et de Galway Ils sont arrivés dans le comté du Connemara Y avait les Connors, les O'Connolly, les Flaherty du Ring of Kerry Et de quoi boire trois jours et deux nuits Là-bas au Connemara On sait tout le prix du silence Là-bas au Connemara On dit que la vie, c'est une folie Et que la folie, ça se danse Terre brûlée au vent Des landes de pierres Autour des lacs, c'est pour les vivants Un peu d'enfer, le Connemara Des nuages noirs qui viennent du nord Colorent la terre, les lacs, les rivières C'est le décor du Connemara On y vit encore au temps des Gaëls et de Cromwell Au rythme des pluies et du soleil Aux pas des chevaux On y croit encore aux monstres des lacs Qu'on voit nager certains soirs d'été Et replonger pour l'éternité On y voit encore Des hommes d'ailleurs venus chercher Le repos de l'âme et pour le cœur, un goût de meilleur L'on y croit encore Que le jour viendra, il est tout près Où les Irlandais feront la paix autour de la Croix Là-bas au Connemara On sait tout le prix de la guerre Là-bas au Connemara On n'accepte pas La paix des Gallois Ni celle des rois d'Angleterre Scorched earth in the wind, Stone moorlands Around lakes, It is for the living A bit of hell (A bit of a blast), Connemara. Black clouds Coming from the north Color the earth, Lakes and rivers, It's the scenery of Connemara. The following spring, The Irish sky Was at peace, Maureen plunged Naked in a lake in Connemara. Sean Kelly has said: " I am catholic, Maureen too! " The church in Limerick granite Maureen said yes. Tipperary Bally Connelly, And Galway, They arrived In Connemara County. Was Connor, The O'Connelly, the Flaherty Of the Ring of Kerry And with something to drink For three days and two nights. There in Connemara, We all know the price of silence There in Connemara, It is said that life, It is madness And madness It is made to be danced. Scorched earth in the wind, Stone moorlands Around lakes, It is for the living A bit of hell (A bit of a blast), Connemara. Black clouds Coming from the north Color the earth, Lakes and rivers, It's the scenery of Connemara. Some still lives on the path of Gaels and Cromwell, With the rhythm of the rain and the sun, the horse's stepping We still believe in it Lakes monsters That we see swim Some summer evenings And submerge forever. We still see Men from elsewhere Who came, Looking for The peace of the mind And for the heart A taste of something better. They still believed there That the day will come, it's close, Where the Irish Will make peace Around the cross There in Connemara We all know the price of war There in Connemara We do not accept Peace from Welsh Neither English king peace

Ça se dance"
Which can be traslated to
"There in Connemara,
It's said that life,
is madness
And madness

Je ne sais pas si tu lira ce message mais si tu veux écouter une chanson interessante sur l'histoire de L'Irlande du nord, je te recommande "Bobby Sand" de Soldat Louis.
Cordialement.
@@maximev.5805 merci beaucoup, je vais me pencher sur la question 🙏🏻
Oooooh Michel Sardou what an other iconic singer in France ! So many amazing song ! “Ne m’appelez plus jamais France" ❤️
He was very controversial during all his carrier.
the singer puts himself in the place of the French transatlantic which was called "France" and which was sold to Norway because during the oil crisis it was no longer profitable....it is therefore a cry of despair from the boat which think that France is abandoning it! “Ne m’appelez plus jamais France" it's a cry of despair
TEEEERRRRRE BRULLÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉE \o/
Ahah que c'est marrant de voir la réaction à CE TUBE INTEMPOREL qu'on adore tant
... vivement qu'on refasse des vraies bonnes grosses chouilles pour la chanter un verre à la main :(
Yeaaaaah! You've fallen down the rabbit hole, Dereck, by discovering our National Treasure, Michel Sardou! HE is to French pop music what Mozart was to classical music 👍👍👍
Michel Sardou is a great singer and "Connemara" is like a drama, lyric especially in the crescendo. Thanks for your interest in French singers and your open-mindedness.
Michel Sardou was touring in Ireland with his musicians and producers when after a long hard's work day, they jokingly decided to write a song about Ireland. But, none of them knew the country that much. They went to bed. Early on the next morning, the producer went downtown looking for information in tourism offices and came back with loads of flyers about Ireland. The band laughed a lot and decided to write the song just for fun. It turned out to be a B side on a record but the lyrics were kind of part of irish history/civilization and it became a great hit, one of the top ten here in France.
Probably why it's written about Connemara of all places.
At least they included the Connemara horses in the video 🤣
Nope, they were in southern France. They had left a synthesizer in a car. It couldn't stand the heat, and when they tried it, it sounded like bagpipes, which gave them the idea of writing a song about Scotland. But inspiration did not come, they finally left for Ireland, and wrote this song without having set foot there.
J'ai passé ma soirée à regarder tes vidéos Dereck et j'adore tes réactions sur des chansons qui sont si mythiques pour nous français... On a des monuments en termes de rimes... Merci de faire partager ça ☺️
Before covid, this song was the signal to climb on the tables and "sing our bananas off".
Miss those times.
Hi. Listen "Vladimir Ilitch" from Sardou. Great orchestral song too and the lyrics are about how soviets became fools. I'm a folk metal guy but Sardou 70's/80's songs are greats and Vladimir Ilitch is just awsome title.

Tout à fait d'accord avec vous
Omg your community made you sound this song! 😂 I think it well known in business school and parties. We sang it at 4:00 a.m with some alcohol in our body. Even young people know this song now
I don't know if some sober people can sing that song - except Sardou himself 😁
This song is more of a love declaration mixed with an anthem.
In France we almost all agree that his ideas are... Old. But this song... Everyone in France know it. Everyone in France sing it all loud when they're drunk. This song is just really good!
Sure but we need to be deadfully drunk to sing.. and no one of us would easily recognize it XD
I am really wondering who you are referring to by "we ... All"? And even "his ideas" by the way. Evites d'utiliser un "nous tous" juste parce-que tu t'imagines être une majorité écrasante.
Sardou est un chanteur qui aime chanter son pays je vois pas ce qu'il y a de mal là dedans... Les ricains, le France ou Je suis pour sont des chansons qui font sens. Tu devrais probablement écouter plus ses paroles que ceux qui te disent quoi penser de lui !
Je suis d'accord, je déteste ce type mais quel chanteur, quelle voix !! quelles belles chansons ! quelle intensité !
saw you on French news so i went to check your full reaction to our ultimate drunk song 😂
Enfin !!!! I love Michel Sardou !!!! Thank you !!!
It's the song that French fishmen loves. There is no party in French Britain without it, and everybody sing it loud, making noises with his feet 😅😂😂😂 and moving the fist high in rhythm. It's incredible to live it, feel it. Your bones are shaking with that rhythm. 😁
There's no party in the whole France without this song (I'm from Burgundy) 😉
Speaking of smokey voice and Johnny, Michel was a very good friend of him for many years.
This song is about the conflict between Northern Ireland and Ireland 🇮🇪 when the song was released, there were attacks on both side of the border. Behind most of his songs there’s always a story.
Very famous song here in France ! You should listen to Claude François's "Magnolias for ever" or "Alexandria Alexandra", he is the original composer, writer and singer of the original "My way" called "Comme d'habitude" in French :)
Yeah! He must listen to Claude François next. And especially to « comme d’habitude ».
Yes! I totally agree with this! For English speaking people "my way" is the original song but not at all! Listen to "comme d'habitude" and look at the translated lyrics... It's a sad song...
The fun fact is that "comme d'habitude" was proposed to Michel Sardou, who finally sang it ten years later in his album "la java de Broadway".
Very good suggestion
Hi, for « Le temps des colonies » Sardou is in the skin of a character, he doesn't talk about himself in the first person. It is a humorous song, not a racist one. Sardou is an actor in his songs, he has never been racist, nor homophobic or anything else. Anyway, keep listening to Sardou, he is our best singer!
This man is the 4th generation of a very appreciated artistic dynastie. He made his first appearance on a theatre stage at the very early age of 3 months !
He recorded his first song by the bias of acting when he was chosen to be the very first Enjolras from the original french version of the musical Les Misérables.
He was so much praised for the wonder of his voice he decided eventually to make a name for himself in music industry.
My favorite songs from is long list of material are Musulmes and Le bac G. He also made a duet with Celine Dion called Voler.
Superbe chanson et musique qui l'accompagne est. D'une puissance incroyable merci Dereck réaction 👍🙏👏💖concert Dereck
Cool reaction as always.
"Bagpipes, who would have thought that was gonna happen ?"
Well... it shouldn't have been a surprise, given the title... ^^
I love that this song has the exact same "group drunk dancing and singing too loud at 3am at a party" vibe for every French person ever, that's beautiful. On the same page, you should react to La Tribu de Dana by Manau, Derek!
Love your reaction.
Not easy to explain in short lines how this song has deep connections with french people.
One region in France, known as Brittany, has their own language and culture.
Their songs have a celtic sound, with bagpipes and binious (Breton bagpipes) and sea shanties.
Some success Breton songs in France:
French lyrics:
Hugues Aufray - Santiano (1961)
Tri Yann - la jument de michao (1973)
Manau - La tribu de Dana (1998 Pop)
Breton lyrics:
Nolwenn Leroy - Tri Martolod (2011 - traditional breton song remastered)
Bro Gozh ma Zadoù (National Anthem of Brittany)
An hini a garan - Denez Prigent (ballad)
Aaah Dereck I love your reactions so much 😍 It's so enjoyable to get the point of view from someone who's not French, and your enthusiasm brings so many good vibes.
On a much more recent note, I'd love to see you react to Christophe Willem with "Double Je" or "Berlin". Keep on going!
Very famous french singer ! 😉
Here, during family parties, You know, with drunk uncle and so on, everybody sing it outloud 😁
You should react to "Le France" from him. His voice is incredible in this song.
th-cam.com/video/m5cEK42RFXQ/w-d-xo.html
Le France est tellement magnifique comme chanson !!! Elle est très puissante elle me fout la chaire de poule a chaque fois
@@thynicia68 Je préfère " Lettre à France" de Polnareff, mais ça reste une belle chanson de Sardou quand même!
@@ericm8850 après c'est pas le même contexte, l'un parle d'un majestueux bateaux, et l'autre de son exil forcé du pays. Mais c'est vrai qu'elles sont toutes les deux magnifiques 💙
Mauvais homme aussi, très puissant
Aucun français ne peut pas dire qu'il ne la connais pas par cœur ❤ c'est devenue une hymne chez nous
Moi je peux, mais en même temps j'suis pas français de souche 😅.
Dereck don't let the thought police influence you. Michel Sardou just speaks his mind in TV interviews that's all. He is a star since the 60's so of course he's from an other generation. He has an amazing voice and bold songs.
Here in France we use to play this song when the bar or club is about to close to let know is closing and every people (most totaly drunk) dance crazy and sing on it like its the best song ever written !!! For every french people this song is related to so much fun !!!
Dereck qui nous fait une réac sur Sardou et son lac du Conemara ! Dingue ! il va devenir incollable sur notre culture musicale ! chapeau et merci, ça fait plaisir.
Sounds like a Broadway song !!!! Love it 😍😍
Hi Dereck, this song is an hymn dedicated to Ireland, its scenery, its people. The colour of this song (its tempo as you said) is very Irish, very rhythmic...
Michel Sardou said multiple times : A song is good when you can interprate it live and it talks to people. The fact that you wanna see it live prove how right he is and how you understand how Sardou works with all his song. If you can take a look at : Afrique Adieu, Marie Jeanne, en chantant, la maladie d'amour etc ...
he was the biggest french star with Johnny Hallyday. If you beguin with him, you can listen 50 top songs from him minimum :)
Biggest ?
Sure ?
@@m.thibaud6003 100 millions de disques vendu, second plus gros vendeur de disque derrière Johnny Hallyday
No please.
You’re gonna love “Afrique Adieu”, another classic by Michel Sardou, it has an amazing melody, bass line, percussions, back up singing, etc etc. 🤤 really looking forward to your reaction on this one!
Seconded, it has all the ingredients Dereck loves. The production is HUGE on that song.
I already proposed to him with the link the last time but he prefered to do this one. Pfffffff Afrique Adieu musically is MUCH BETTER for a FIRST TIME. Dereck was afraid when he listened to this song! I understand him! lol Not the BEST for a "first baptism"!
Et " l'an mil " avec ce "Dies irae " inclus dans la mélodie . ces notes graves et oppressantes ! And " Vladimir Illitch"
@@benoitdurant7919 et christodavid x alias Fantoma le troll facho psychopathe et sociopathe d'internet et fan extrémiste de Farmer.
Derek, from a French fan, you should listen to 'L'An Mille'. The orchestration is... quite unique :-)
I like how you seem so serious in every reaction! xD Finally this song. Kind of an anthem for us Frenchs, so powerful, when you hear it everyone is forced to sing it. A song to know!
I'm subscribing because you are doing really good choice of french songs :)
This is on so many French people's playlist of "Songs to sing and dance to when drunk at 3 in the morning at your cousin's wedding."
Haha this song is so famous in our country. It's a monument !!!
And young People knows this song because When we hear this song in bars our discotheques.... This is the end... Evererbody goes out 😁 vive la France 🇫🇷
Je suis arrivé un bon matin du mois de mai... Avec a la main les beignets que ma mère m'avait fait. Il m'ont demandé ! Mon nom mon métier... Mais quand fière de moi j'ai dis artiste de variétés.... A ce moment là je ne sais pas pourquoi j'ai entendu rire un type que je ne connaissais pas !!!!
Le rire du sergent....🎶🎵
I love how you are sooooo not ready for the rest of the song on the beginning. us French, we know this by HEART and it's a freakin' Anthem.
The hymn of the drunk french!
I have really appreciated your Chanel. I have crossed this time as a young fellow. I am glad seeing your reaction listening songs. I Am 65 years old.
Dereck I love your show, I am a Frenchman in America. Have you ever made a video about French singer Christophe? He died last year from COVID, he was the pioneer of synths pop in France. Check out his songs, you can start with "Les mots bleus", probably his most famous song, done in collaboration with no other than Jean-Michel Jarre !
Yes , Christophe made the music and Jarre made the ... lyrics.
Bonjour! See things from far away is sometimes see them better!!! Yours comments are very interestings! You make me rediscover this songs we hear for years without thake the time to analize! Great job!
I love how serious you are about french most popular drinking song!
J'ai toujours entendu cette chanson en fin de soirée, aux mariages, aux anniversaires, aux Karaokés, partout ! Tout le temps ! Mes enfants la connaissent, c'est la tradition !! :D
Song composed by the same guy who composed My Way, Jacques Revaux, a genius.
Merci Bobby je ne savais pas. Nice nick name too , don t go crazy with it 😉
Qui a une voix magnifique ! I On l'entend chanter sur les Demoiselles de Rochefort, Peau d'Ane et Une chambre en ville de Jacques Demy. Et c'est lui génère le plus de revenus à la SACEM !
No way. I can’t believe you’re reacting to Michel Sardou. Awesomeness
C’est clair ! C’est surréaliste
@@MortiAsmr Catégoriquement!
Le texte s'inspire finalement du film L'Homme tranquille de John Ford, en évoquant un mariage irlandais et laissant le conflit entre protestants et catholiques en toile de fond.
The text is finally inspired by John Ford’s film The Quiet Man, evoking an Irish marriage and leaving the conflict between Protestants and Catholics in the background
From a french living i Korea, i love your positive vibes !!! We need more people like you , enjoying simple things whatever they understand or not the language:) 🙏🥰❤️🇫🇷🇰🇷
Orchestral live is outstanding!!!
Very happy that you took a suggestion of mine !
Here are other songs from M. Sardou.
This song is about women in the 80's who are able to do many different things like being an army general and supermodel..., and funny when he says "to access to the Chair of presidency and from there make France hard" !
Only for fun.
Michel Sardou has a powerful voice. Love his song Beethoven and the video...
Michel Sardou is the Best french singer ! Great great great ! 💪👍
Just a note on the lyrics, they were written by Pierre Delanoë who worked a lot with Michel Sardou. Delanoë got his inspiration from the Quiet Man, the John Ford film with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara and from news coverage of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. xx
Y3p. EXTREME POLITICAL statement. The bombings in Northern Ireland were traumatizing for Europe, and this is a plea for peace
I was completely stunned when I heard it as a child. Also I. NL a huge hit… I went bananas on this one..even before Dereck was born…
J'adore Sardou, qu'elle voix!🥰🥰
Dude your reaction is sublime long live France and our culture is well anchored in French song
On weddings, 200% drunk, this is a massive hit and everybody screams/sings it , arm crossed and shoulder to shoulder. Classic « give me another drink » stuff for us
Une superbe chanson encore dans nos soirées en France !!
Je ne suis pas mort je dors Michel Sardou... listen this ❤🙏❤
super chanson de Michel Sardou
Michel Sardou best audio femmes des années 80 juste un must
" Être une femme " is a disco song with numerous lyrics . . . sexy.
@@pascalmarfaing1690 you mean a man's fantasy, but quite sexist from a woman's POV. 😑😑☹️
It is a very beautiful song, and Michel Sardou is big in France...
In France it's known to be the last music at a wedding party, drunk happy French singing and shouting until the very least note 🎉
And for other Sardou's songs I recommande Le France (where he shows his voice), La Java de Broadway (very funky song), Une fille aux yeux clairs (a slow but so beautiful song) 😍
I am still surprised how you try ftench songs/live/lyrics i am proud that you love most of you get. Merci beaucoup !
You should try "Je vais t'aimer" from Michel Sardou, a true masterpiece 👌
A faire pâlir tous les marquis de Sade, à faire rougir les putains de la rade...
Super Michel Sardou comme toujours
La chanson de fin d'soirée par excellence 🍻 🤦🏼♀️😁

Classic song on Sardou's shows.
Well done ! Good choice with Michel Sardou and this song. « Chanteur de Jazz » should be listened too.
"Les lacs du Connemara" is about Ireland. "Le temps des colonies" has been controversial, but it is obviously sarcastic. He is playing a role in his songs. He has always said that.
Merci pour Michel Sardou....... c'est une chanson magnifique.....thank you for your comment🙏
Magnifique chanson …
For those looking for the lyrics ( with a kind of translation 🤪)
Terre brûlée au vent
Des landes de pierres
Autour des lacs, c'est pour les vivants
Un peu d'enfer, le Connemara
Des nuages noirs qui viennent du nord
Colorent la terre, les lacs, les rivières
C'est le décor du Connemara
Au printemps suivant, le ciel irlandais était en paix
Maureen a plongé nue dans un lac du Connemara
Sean Kelly s'est dit 'je suis catholique', Maureen aussi
L'église en granit de Limerick, Maureen a dit oui
De Tipperary, Barry-Connely et de Galway
Ils sont arrivés dans le comté du Connemara
Y avait les Connors, les O'Connolly, les Flaherty du Ring of Kerry
Et de quoi boire trois jours et deux nuits
Là-bas au Connemara
On sait tout le prix du silence
Là-bas au Connemara
On dit que la vie, c'est une folie
Et que la folie, ça se danse
Terre brûlée au vent
Des landes de pierres
Autour des lacs, c'est pour les vivants
Un peu d'enfer, le Connemara
Des nuages noirs qui viennent du nord
Colorent la terre, les lacs, les rivières
C'est le décor du Connemara
On y vit encore au temps des Gaëls et de Cromwell
Au rythme des pluies et du soleil
Aux pas des chevaux
On y croit encore aux monstres des lacs
Qu'on voit nager certains soirs d'été
Et replonger pour l'éternité
On y voit encore
Des hommes d'ailleurs venus chercher
Le repos de l'âme et pour le cœur, un goût de meilleur
L'on y croit encore
Que le jour viendra, il est tout près
Où les Irlandais feront la paix autour de la Croix
Là-bas au Connemara
On sait tout le prix de la guerre
Là-bas au Connemara
On n'accepte pas
La paix des Gallois
Ni celle des rois d'Angleterre
Scorched earth in the wind,
Stone moorlands
Around lakes,
It is for the living
A bit of hell (A bit of a blast),
Connemara.
Black clouds
Coming from the north
Color the earth,
Lakes and rivers,
It's the scenery of Connemara.
The following spring,
The Irish sky
Was at peace,
Maureen plunged
Naked in a lake in Connemara.
Sean Kelly has said:
" I am catholic,
Maureen too! "
The church in Limerick granite
Maureen said yes.
Tipperary
Bally Connelly,
And Galway,
They arrived
In Connemara County.
Was Connor,
The O'Connelly,
the Flaherty
Of the Ring of Kerry
And with something to drink
For three days and two nights.
There in Connemara,
We all know the price of silence
There in Connemara,
It is said that life,
It is madness
And madness
It is made to be danced.
Scorched earth in the wind,
Stone moorlands
Around lakes,
It is for the living
A bit of hell (A bit of a blast),
Connemara.
Black clouds
Coming from the north
Color the earth,
Lakes and rivers,
It's the scenery of Connemara.
Some still lives
on the path of Gaels and Cromwell,
With the rhythm of the rain and the sun,
the horse's stepping
We still believe in it
Lakes monsters
That we see swim
Some summer evenings
And submerge forever.
We still see
Men from elsewhere
Who came, Looking for
The peace of the mind
And for the heart
A taste of something better.
They still believed there
That the day will come,
it's close,
Where the Irish
Will make peace
Around the cross
There in Connemara
We all know the price of war
There in Connemara
We do not accept
Peace from Welsh
Neither English king peace
T motivé dit donc😂
You did it ! A Sardou song. And one of the best... i didn't watch yet. But i alreay give a like... So, let's see :)
