Clark Baxtresser - Syracuse (Henri Salvador)

Clark Baxtresser - Syracuse
/ claark
Music: Henri Salvador
Words: Bernard Dimey
Lyrics:
J'aimerais tant voir Syracuse,
L'île de Pâques et Kairouan
Et les grands oiseaux qui s'amusent
A glisser l'aile sous le vent,
Voir les jardins de Babylone
Et le palais du Grand Lama,
Rêver des amants de Vérone
Au sommet du Fuji-Yama,
Voir le pays du matin calme,
Aller pêcher au cormoran
Et m'enivrer de vin de palme
En écoutant chanter le vent.
Avant que ma jeunesse s'use
Et que les printemps soient partis,
J'aimerais tant voir Syracuse
Pour m'en souvenir à Paris.
Translation:
I would love to see Syracuse
Easter Island and Kairouan
And the large birds who have fun
Their wings sliding with the wind
To see the gardens of Babylon
And the palace of the Dalai Lama
To dream of Verona lovers
At the top of Mount Fuji
To see the land of the quiet mornings
To cormorant fish
And to get drunk on palm wine
While listening to the singing of the wind
Before my youth wears
And my springs pass away
I would love to see Syracuse
To remember it in Paris.

Every single comment is right. 8 years later I still come back here to me happy place, and to remind myself of the lyrics so I can sing it to my dog.
Thanks Clark

[@lissyhymel]

I didn't know this song, so when he started singing in French, I literally yelled. Amazing! I'm in love...

[@chrisconover]

I'd listen to an entire playlist of this. Great sounds, trendy video framing. A++ Would listen/watch again.

Clark can sing like an angel, playing piano like a god at the same time. Now I feel bad because I'm not half as good as Clark. No,wait I feel wonderful because of this video

[@aleanne-chan8475]

Trop bien une chanson en français 😍😍

[@courtneythibodeaux3566]

I wasn't sure what to expect but I can honestly say this is, easily, my favorite thing on TH-cam as of right now.

[@lisonhashku3852]

Merci. Great

[@arussell90]

Beautiful Clark!

[@SnowboardChick9845]

I don't speak french so I'm just going to assume that he's trying to woo me.

[@lissyhymel]

A fair assumption! 😍 it's working...

[@Jim_Kelly]

It's a song about wanting to travel while still young. And yes it is working

[@carolcharmaineedson110]

Mon dieu!!

[@lissyhymel]

@claark I love the new stuff you're posting a lot, but I could definitely do with more vids like this too! Your voice is absolutely divine.

[@una_10bananas]

Something about Clark singing in French...

[@miawright1835]

[@vladimirazubcekova7727]

[@kin-cy3675]
