BROKEN VOW (Lara Fabian/Walter Afanasieff)
Tell me her name
I want to know
The way she looks
And where you go
I need to see her face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end
Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own
[Chorus:]
I'll let you go
I'll let you fly
Why do I keep asking why
I'll let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow
Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time
[Chorus]
I close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There's more to life than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes
I'd give away my soul
To hold you once again
And never let this promise end
[Chorus]

INTRO:
Here is Lara Fabian's prayer for the world: "Aime" (Love) off her 2006 live DVD Un Regard 9.
She wrote this song while on a plane ("between heaven and earth" as she puts it) and it reads like a silent plea for all of us to give love more consideration.
Coincidently, I find that the mix of earthy and celestial notes in the song render the urgent message of the lyric in the most profound and troubling of ways..almost to the point of making the truthness of the emotion too much to bare. But Lara is just that powerful an artist.
Below I included a translation/adaptation of the lyric.
"AIME" (Love)
It is a tender fruit
That the universe and the earth together sow
A divine gift we're being given
If we still believe in this chance
Then life conspires to hand us
Our other half of the orange
It is a journey to the core of the flesh
Where war does not exist
The proof that each one of our prayers
If sincere, will find an answer
Despite the absence
As soon as love makes its way
Love,
Life is so beautiful
As soon as you become him or her who loves
The certainty that the other is essential
Will be your rendez-vous
Like a sign from up above
Love,
And don't give a damn about hate
Never again should you become
Him or her who pains
Solitude is a cruel and lonely road
Remember that love is an Eternal
It is a caress and we tremble
Together, as we no longer expected
It is a gaze that resembles us
In the face of that stranger
Suddenly tears inundate the hearts
And we touch happiness
Love,
Life is so beautiful
As soon as you become him or her who loves
The certainty that the other is essential
Will be your rendez-vous
Like a sign from up above
Love,
And don't give a damn about hate
Never again should you become
Him or her who pains
Solitude is a cruel and lonely road
Please, remember that love is an Eternal
I say this to you: LOVE
I say this to you: LOVE
I say this to you: LOVE
Thanks Davidhr for the initial translation.
AIME (original French lyrics)
C'est un fruit sucré
que l'univers et la terre ensemence
Un cadeau divin nous est offert
Si l'on croit a cette chance
La vie s'arrange pour nous donner
Notre moitié d'orange
C'est un voyage au creux de la chair
Ou la guerre n'existe pas
La preuve que chacune de nos prières sincères trouvera
Une reponse malgré l'absence
Dès que l'amour s'avance
Aime,
La vie est tellement belle
Dès que tu deviens celle ou celui qui aime
La certitude que l'autre est essentiel
C'est ce rendez-vous comme un signe du ciel
Aime,
Et fous toi de la haine
Ne redeviens pas celle ou celui qui peine
La solitude est un chemin cruel
N'oublie pas que l'amour est une Eternelle
C'est une caresse et l'on tremble ensemble
On ne s'y attendait plus
C'est un regard qui nous ressemble au visage
De cet inconnu
Soudain les larmes inondent nos coeurs
On étreint le bonheur
Aime,
La vie est tellement belle
Dès que tu deviens celle ou celui qui aime
La certitude que l'autre est essentiel
C'est ce rendez-vous comme un signe du ciel
Aime,
Et fous toi de la haine
Ne redeviens pas celle ou celui qui peine
La solitude est un chemin cruel
Souviens-toi que l'Amour est une Eternelle
Je te dis A I M E
Je te dis A I M E
Je te dis A I M E

INTRO: For a very occasion, Quebec chanteuse Lara Fabian and Richard Marx meet to sing a live version of the duet they recorded in 1996 for the Canadian edition of Marx's Flesh & Bone album.
The two collaborated over the phone for the most part, after meeting through a mutual friend musician Bruce Gaitsch, and the only other times they sung this together was at Marx's concert in Montreal, on April 25 and 26th, 1997.
According to the singer at richardmarxonline.com "Surrender To Me has been recorded several times, and was even a top 10 hit for Robin Zander and Ann Wilson from the movie "Tequila Sunrise." My favorite version is my duet with Lara Fabian." (He did another version of the song with Samantha Cole for the US version of his CD)
This broadcast is from 1997.
BIO: Italian-Belgian pop singer Lara Fabian was born to be a superstar diva. She was classically trained as a child, and at 18 she flew to Quebec to begin her career as a solo artist.

INTRO: A stage dynamo, lyric soprano Lara Fabian always leaves the viewer breathless with her gutso delivery and evocative gestures. - Here she sings the classical piece Ave Maria by Franz Schubert. And though the quality of the video isn't excellent, it doesn't take away from her passionate and soothing performance..A prayer sent to a place where time and space cease to exist and only beauty remains.
The broadcast is from Quebec, around 1995. The singer introducing her is Jean-Pierre Ferland.
About "Ave Maria":
Though the melody of this song belongs to Schubert, the latin words do not. The original work is named "Ellens Gesang III" (D 839) and is setted on a song from Walter Scott's popular epic poem "The Lady of the Lake". This is the pray the queen Ellen addresses to Maria, calling upon her for help. (Thanks to member MattMatto for the info)

A stage dynamo, lyric soprano Lara Fabian always leaves the viewer breatless with her gutso delivery and matching gestures.
Artists like Barbra Streisand, Linda Eder, Josh Groban, Toni Braxton and Christina Aguilera have all sung her praises.
Here she sings Barbra Streisand's song "Evergreen" from the movie A Star Is Born, which has always been a favorite of hers to sing from the time she was a teenager performing in the Bruxells bar scene. What I enjoy about this performance is the display of her perfected soulful & milky-warm lower register, which for a soprano is quite an achievement. Some will probably complain again that her tone is "colorless", but that's the very beauty of her voice: understatement!
The brodcast is from 1994 Le Bal des glaces iceskating show in Quebec.
INTRO TEXT: "I've always thought for the song I've chosen to interpret for you tonight that the perfect, magical moment was needed..and I think that tonight is perfect moment. A magical moment".

A performance to remember. Phil Collins and Lara Fabian (whom he refers to as "the best voice in the world") singing Genesis's old hit "Throwing It All Away".
I absolutely adore this rendition ! - with the clever use of the 3 acoustic guitars, Phil playing the "air cymbals", and Lara nailing the vocals with her soul-dipping belts...She sounds so gorgeous and intense!
*The recording took place at Tennis Dreams Night @ Geneva Arena, Switzerland on 8th December 2003.

Artists like Barbra Streisand, Linda Eder, Josh Groban, Toni Braxton and Christina Aguilera have all sung her praises. - Here she sings the famous song from Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Evita, and the movie by the same name which stared Madonna. And watch for her using her light and colorful soprano voice in this song, which people have always had a hard time believing to be her natural voice since Lara so often uses her lower range.
The end of the song is also great as she closes with her trademark powerful pop belts which give the song the cinematographic grandor it needs.

BROKEN VOW (Lara Fabian/Walter Afanasieff)
Tell me her name
I want to know
The way she looks
And where you go
I need to see her face
I need to understand
Why you and I came to an end
Tell me again
I want to hear
Who broke my faith in all these years
Who lays with you at night
When I'm here all alone
Remembering when I was your own
[Chorus:]
I'll let you go
I'll let you fly
Why do I keep asking why
I'll let you go
Now that I found
A way to keep somehow
More than a broken vow
Tell me the words I never said
Show me the tears you never shed
Give me the touch
That one you promised to be mine
Or has it vanished for all time
[Chorus]
I close my eyes
And dream of you and I
And then I realize
There's more to life than only bitterness and lies
I close my eyes
I'd give away my soul
To hold you once again
And never let this promise end
[Chorus]

INTRO: A true stage dynamo, Lara always leaves the viewer breatless with her gutso delivery and evocative gestures. Nobody moves like her!! Here she sings one of her signature songs Je suis malade (I'm Mad) and demonstrates her talent as an actress of music. As she once said "I like putting myself in danger when I sing sometimes", she gives it her all and then some for the public here. It's both an inspiring and devastating moment to witness.
Je suis malade (Serge Lama/Alice Donna)
Unofficial Lyric Adaptation, by me David Man (**literal translation follows this text)
I'M MAD
I don't have a dream
I don't have a hit
I don't even have a name
In the lost and found
Like a broken child
I'm just a mess and I don't care
I don't wanna live
I don't wanna give
Why give when you're not there
I don't have a life
And even the skies
Turn blue to grey
When you're away
Chorus:
I feel truly mad
Completely sick, really mad
Just like when mom was leaving me
Hopelessly crying in my bed all through the night
I feel truly mad
Completely sick, really mad
Nobody knows when you'll be home
And when you're home, I'm on my own
Why do you treat me the way you do
What did I do
Could it be a sin
Could it be I'm weak
What is it I feel for you
Every single day
I will play the game
Pretend I'm ok when they're around
I'm drunk through and through
Oh it's nothing new
You know, nights're the enemy
When I close my eyes
It's still you I find
There's no hiding place, you're everywhere
Chorus:
I feel truly mad
Completely sick, really mad
I am a bird under your sky
I'm burning like an inferno
Without a spark
I feel truly mad
Completely sick, really mad
Because of you I'm lost for words
Because of you I'm without song
And yet I know I had it all
Before your touch
What more can I do ?
I feel like a fool
Here in the dark, by the radio
Soon I will be down
Alone in the night
Singing over and over these crazy words
Chorus:
I feel truly mad
Completely sick, truly mad
Just like when mom was leaving me
Hopelessly crying in my bed all through the night
I feel truly mad
That's right...I'm mad!
Because of you I'm lost for words
Because of you I'm out of touch
And now my heart is going wild..wild
I swear I'm gonna fly up high
That's right... my heart is truly mad
**Note, this is an adaptation, not a literal translation (word for word), which means liberties were took as far as rendering the text to conserve measure & rhymes, but the general idea of the lyric is still there.
Another note : The word "malade" in French has several meanings; one being "sick" (as in illness)...the other being "sick in the head" (as in being mad, deranged or crazy). It's the second meaning that is rendered in this adaptation.
Literal Translation (by 123marieee)
I Am Ill
I don't dream anymore
I don't smoke anymore
I don't even have a story anymore
I am unclean without you
I am ugly without you
I am like an orphan in a dormitory
I don't want to live
My life anymore
My life stops when you leave
I no longer have my life
And even my bed
Transform into a train station
When you go away
I am ill, completely ill,
Like when my mother went out at night
And left me alone with my despair
I am ill, perfectly ill
No-one knows where you go when you leave
No-one knows when you will turn up again
And it'll soon be almost two years
You've not given a damn
Like to a rock
Like to a sin
I'm hooked on you
I'm tired
I'm exhausted
Of pretending to be happy when they're there
I drink every night
And every whiskey
They all taste the same to me
And all the boats carry your flag
I don't know where to go anymore, you're everywhere
I am ill, completely ill
I shed my blood in your body
And I'm like a dead bird when you're asleep
I am ill, perfectly ill
You have deprived me of all my melodies
You have emptied me of all my words
But I had talent before you came along
This love is killing me
And it goes on and on
I will die alone with myself
Close to my radio
Like a silly kid
Listening to my own voice that will sing
I am ill, completely ill,
Like when my mother went out at night
And left me alone with my despair
I am ill, perfectly ill
You have deprived me of all my melodies
You have emptied me of all my words
And my heart is completely ill
Surrounded by barricades, you hear, I'm ill

| | Mario Frangoulis - Vincero Perdero (live) - 349 sec
Mario Frangoulis is a greek tenor whose handsome looks and bonafide talent has helped him cross over to the pop market. Here he sings his first hit Vincero Perdero live on stage.
This footage is off the 2002 DVD "Mario Frangoulis - Sometimes I Dream (Live in Concert)" available on amazon, ebay, etc.
BIO : Greek opera star Mario Frangoulis had topped the charts in his home country for four years before the 2002 release of his international debut Sometimes I Dream. Describing the disc's fusion of contemporary sounds and operatic vocals as "not your standard classical record", Mario is the first to admit there's something unusual about his style. He has since released a follow up album and starred in the Cole Porter biopic "De-Lovely" alongside Lara Fabian, Kevin Kline, Ashley Judd and Alanis Morissette
