Douce France

Okay so this one is from my little sister Charlotte. I recorded this song with one of my mum’s friend (she sings in a choir), and my sister did the visuals and directed the video. This project means a lot to me because the video literally features the region of France where I grew up. The village and my dad’s cows, the stream we used to play at…

When I started singing this song was kind of like my personal anthem 🙂

Also, it’s very moving to me to have a sister who is an artist and storyteller. In a way, we grew up on a farm without role models. I cherish the fact that somewhere in our DNA we are connecting and expressing ourselves through our creativity. It makes me feel less alone.

DOUCE FRANCE
Words and Music by Charles Trenet, 1942

Il revient à ma mémoire
Des souvenirs familiers
Je revois ma blouse noire
Lorsque j’étais écolier
Sur le chemin de l’école
Je chantais à pleine voix
Des romances sans paroles
Vieilles chansons d’autrefois

{Refrain:}
Douce France
Cher pays de mon enfance
Bercée de tendre insouciance
Je t’ai gardée dans mon cœur!
Mon village au clocher aux maisons sages
Où les enfants de mon âge
Ont partagé mon bonheur

Oui je t’aime
Et je te donne ce poème
Oui je t’aime
Dans la joie ou la douleur
Douce France
Cher pays de mon enfance
Bercée de tendre insouciance
Je t’ai gardée dans mon cœur

J’ai connu des paysages
Et des soleils merveilleux
Au cours de lointains voyages
Tout là-bas sous d’autres cieux
Mais combien je leur préfère
Mon ciel bleu mon horizon
Ma grande route et ma rivière
Ma prairie et ma maison.

{Refrain}
Je t’ai gardée dans mon cœur

  • Grateful for my students’ experience!! This is from two years ago 🤍🙏🏼🌟

I love teaching #intuitiveanatomy which is the most robust #thetahealing class, and an opportunity to shift the application of the belief work to the body.

Three weeks of deep self-work and intuitive clarity.

Tomorrow is “Disease and Disorder”, the natural continuation to clear the path to empowerment and healing. 

With a very special group of healers. #grateful

Blessings to you on your side of the world 💋🤍🙏🏼
