Good evening everyone!

Here are the lyrics: Come closer my sister, listen to the prayer, of a sad dying man, a criminal sinner,
He will confide in you at his last hour, the secret of his heart, come closer my sister;
I have long loved the sweet Gabrielle, who left me one day to follow a deceiver;
One morning I killed the lover of the unfaithful, and since that day, I am in disgrace.

I would like to find this song for my mom. Thank you.

        Hello,
        My grandmother used to sing this, but I don't quite have the same version! Here is the one I know:

        Listen to me, my sister, listen to the prayer
        of a sad dying man, a guilty sinner
        who comes to confide his final wishes to you,
        time is fleeing, hurry up, listen to me, my sister
        I loved the beautiful Gabrielle for a long time
        who betrayed me one day to love only a flatterer,
        one night I killed the lover of the unfaithful,
        and since then dishonor hangs over my forehead.

        See these two portraits, this one is myself,
        I painted it in prison while gazing at my mirror,
        this one is hers, see how beautiful she is,
        she's an angel and yet
        she broke my heart

        take them to her, my sister, it is my utmost desire,
        you will often see her at church in the evening...
        Do not pray for me, pray for the unfaithful
        it is for her that I die, and I die condemned

        But what is it, my sister,
        you are removing your veil, your sweet breast is trembling
        and you tremble, I believe?
        But is it not a dream where my gaze is veiled?
        Gabrielle, answer me, is it you that I see?
        Arthur, Arthur, forgive
        yes, it is I who implores you
        by the bedside of the dying, I want to end my days,
        under this religious veil that dishonors my heart
        I want to love you still and serve God forever.

    I am also vainly searching for this song in memory of my father who sang it:
    Here is what I remember:
    " Come closer my sister, listen to the prayer
    Of a sad dying man, of a criminal sinner
    Who is going to confide in you in his last hour
    The secret of his heart, listen to him my sister
    I loved for a long time the beautiful Gabrielle
    Who one evening deceived me to love only a flatterer
    One night I killed the lover of the unfaithful
    And since then on my forehead is written dishonor
    What, you tremble my sister .......
    Your gentle breast is trembling and you are crying I believe
    .......
    Gabrielle is it you that I see before me ?
    .... "
    I know how to sing it but I'm missing a lot of words...

    So actually the thing is that I'm looking for the lyrics of a song.
    The title is "Il faut sauver"
    It's by Gilles Maugenest.
    But I can't find them on the internet.
    If anyone can help me, that would be great.
    Thanks in advance.

      WE MUST SAVE

      We must save Iraq and Kosovo, the ice cap and the sea, baby seals and the children of Asia. We must save the Amazon forest, whales and the ozone layer, endangered species. We must save the planet from the aftermath of Chernobyl and oil spills, from AIDS, from greenhouse gases. Save the survivors of droughts, floods, and tsunamis, those without papers and the homeless. Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Somalia, Philippines, Colombia, Georgia, Honduras, Argentina, Angola, Myanmar, Uganda, Malawi, Sri Lanka, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Haiti…

      We are here, we are coming
      To the earth that is drifting away
      We are here on the shore
      To rescue her

      But let’s talk about us
      About our loves
      Misery is so far away
      From our troubling lives
      Far, so far

      Save water, energy and preserve the ecosystem. Sidaction, the soup kitchens, the telethon. Doctors Without Borders, the Red Crescent and the Red Cross, singing for UNICEF, international aid against hunger. Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Somalia, Philippines, Colombia, Georgia, Honduras, Argentina, Angola, Myanmar, Uganda, Malawi, Sri Lanka, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Haiti…

      We are here, we are coming
      To the earth that is drifting away
      We are here on the shore
      To rescue her

      But let’s talk about us
      About our loves
      Misery is so far away
      From our troubling lives
      Far, so far

      Hello, I'm looking for a site where I can find the video please, as I'm in 6th grade A1 at Camille Guérins College in Poitiers, and in music I do it, and it's much easier for me to learn by listening to it.

      Thank you very much @+

      Hi Donya ;)
      I'm also at Camille Guérin ;)
      I really like her songs but I can't find anything on the Internet :S
      I should ask our teacher.

    Hello, I'm looking for a song where a girl sings with two guys, if I remember correctly, and the chorus goes something like: Yes, I would love to be able to love, to love without... and to share... friendship. And when the girl says I would love, there are voices echoing: I would love.

      Hi
      By doing a little research with the lyrics, you would have had the answer right away
      It's titled from the musical The Ten Commandments
      And it's Ginie Line who sings with Daniel Levy (among others).
      Enjoy listening ---> here
      See you later

    Good evening,
    here are the lyrics of the "prayer of the prisoner"; however, I am looking for the name of the performer.

    Prayer of the prisoner

    - Listen to me, my sister, listen to the prayer,
    Of a poor dying man, of a sinful criminal,
    Who comes to confess his last wishes to you;
    Listen to me, my sister, do not interrupt me...

    I had long loved the fair-haired Gabrielle
    Who one day left me to follow a vile flatterer,
    That day, I killed the lover of the unfaithful
    And since then, shame is written on my brow...

    See these two portraits: this one is myself
    That I painted in my prison while staring in my mirror;
    This one is hers, see how beautiful she is!
    She is an angel, my sister, who has consumed my heart!

    My sister, go see her, tell her that I love her!
    At the church, in the evening, you will sometimes see her;
    And if you see her, still tell her
    That my great love will be able to forgive her...

    But what is it, my sister? You are removing your veil...
    Your sweet breast is trembling and I see you weep,
    Is it but a dream or is my reason wandering?
    Gabrielle... Is it you, is it you that I see again?

    - Forgive me... forgive me, forgive me! On my knees, I implore you
    At the bedside of the dying, I will go end my days
    Under the religious habit that dishonors my body
    I come to say goodbye and to love you forever

    A heart wants to love you and suffer forever..!

    Thank you SO MUCH!!!!!! I am on my knees thanking you for bringing this old, old song back to life that my sisters sang when I was still a very, very little boy. They cried while singing it, so I cried too, not really knowing why!!! (An old man of 84 years)
