Începând cu data de 1 mai a.c., articolele de pe acest site vor fi scrise exclusiv în limba engleză. Am luat această decizie la încurajarea prietenilor și colaboratorilor mei din străinătate. Site-ul va trece printr-o serie de transformări pe parcursul verii și, în funcție de limita de spațiu, intenționez să pun la dispoziția vizitatorilor mai multe imagini scanate cu o parte din colecțiile mele pe profil de cinema.

1957, Merci Monpti, Romy Schneider, song

Vă recomand să ascultați această frumoasă melodie, cântată de Romy Schneider și intitulată Merci, Monpti, din filmul Monpti (1957), cu Horst Buchholz.

Iată și versurile:

Merci, Monpti, Auf Wiedersehen.
Die Zeit mit dir war wunderschön.
Noch ein Gruß, noch ein Kuss, noch ein Blick;
und ich lass dir mein Herz hier zurück.

Merci, Monpti, die Melodie – vom Glück mit dir,
vergess ich nie.
Und wenn wir uns dann wieder sehn’,
wird alles wieder schön.

Es war in Paris – vor einem Kaffee,
da sagten wir zwei uns adieu.
Ich drehte mich um uns sah deinem Blick,
da rief ich dich wieder zurück.

Merci, Monpti, Auf Wiedersehen.
Die Zeit mit dir war wunderschön.
Noch ein Gruß, noch ein Kuss, noch ein Blick;
und ich lass dir mein Herz hier zurück.

Merci, Monpti, die Melodie – vom Glück mit dir,
vergess ich nie.
Und wenn wir uns dann wieder sehn’,
wird alles wieder schön.
