Jacques Douai - It's raining girls


Original Title: "Des filles il en pleut"
Text: Pierre Seghers (1958)
Music: Léo Ferré
Year: 1959 (Ferré on the radio but only released in 2006 on album), only released in 2007 on album for Jacques Douai's version
It's raining girls
Blond and blue ones
It's raining girls
My beloved

Crying girls
And flower girls
It's raining girls
My beloved

But none will have
Your laugh and your arms
But none will have
Your lips

But none will go
As far as you
But none will have
My dreams

It's raining girls
But where are your eyes
And your joyful body
My beloved

It'll have rained so much
In my heart, you know
That I don't see them no more
My beloved

You were for me
My earth and my woods
My country, my faith
My beloved

You were for me
The queen of a king
Who lost for you
His life

It's raining girls
Since your farewell
It's raining girls
My beloved

Yes but little by little
I die at this game
Without sun nor fire
My beloved

Come back, come back to me
Days are months
Come back, come back to me
My beloved

Wasn't forgetting you
While it was raining
Me, I was waiting for you
My beloved
Léo Ferré's version:
