Je ne peux pas répondre à cette question, mais je peux traduire un titre si vous le fournissez.

I have been looking for her for decades, she used to say:

When you leave in the morning filled with carefreeness,
The world of the gypsies admires with each step,
Your body swaying, it looks like you’re dancing,
That’s probably why everyone, without knowing,
Calls you "Hesméralda"

And you wear this wonderful name
Like one wears a flower in their hair ............

My school friend used to sing it in the 60s, but I don’t know when the song itself was made (or the gender of the performer). It would be a great joy to have this information because I have found nothing on Google despite the lyrics.
Thank you, goddess.

      Good evening,

      I am delighted to have all this information. Based on that, I will do some research to find the interpreter and maybe the CD; thank you so much for your offer, but the sheet music would be of no use to me. Best regards.

    If it's not too late... This song is called Esmeralda, it was recorded by John William and, on the women's side, by Marie Nell. There must be other performers, I can do some research if you want, I have an exorbitant database...

    The title of this song is "Belle," I believe, and it is sung by Garou with Daniel Lavoie and Bruno Pelletier.

      Hello "Canelle",

      the song you suggested is not bad; but, apart from the name "Esmeralda", it has nothing to do with the song sought by "deesse_13".
