Hi all, here's a blues song about a girl who plays mandolin.
Her music can be useful to forget her sadness......

RD BossaBrushes
RT 713 Acoustic bass
RT 573 Electric guitar
RT 626 Blues harp
RT 1864 Mandolin
RT 1648 Solo guitar

Hey, Charline, laisse tomber ton spleen
et prends ta mandoline !
La musique est pour toi une mine,
elle regorge de vitamines.
Je suis là avec ma guitare.
Ton blues, on s’en empare !
Si celui-ci, ce soir, t’anime
sors donc les notes qui l’expriment.

Nice mix and an interesting song. I enjoy hearing your voice as you have a lot of natural vibrato.

Thanks a lot, Jim, for your comment !

For this song, I've tried to translate the lyrics and sing it in English ! I did what I could......

Charleen’s blues

Hey Charleen, please give up your spleen
and take your mandolin !
Music is for you like a mine,
dig and you will feel fine.
Next to you, there is my guitar.
Your blues, we’ll send it far !
If, this evening, it worries you
play all notes which are blue !

Salut Chris.

Très bonne chanson. J'ai écouté à les deux version et je dois dire que je préfère l'un en français.

C'est difficile toujours à traduire une chanson et préserver le rime. Tu a le fait trés bien. La ligne première est peut-être un peu bizarre, mais les autres marchent bien.

Mais qu'est-ce que je peux dire? Mon français est pas génial!

J'aime beaucoup ton travaille.

Cordialement, ROG.

Hi all,
I've made a new version for this french minor blues.
I've changed and added lyrics. I've also modified solos. Christian

Hey Charline, qu’est-ce qui te chagrine ?
J’aime pas quand tu rumines.
J’aime quand tu chantes Janis Joplin
et que tout s’illumine.
Quand le blues sort de tes entrailles,
c’est un " chant " de bataille.
Tu produis par ta voix mutine
une bonne dose de morphine.

Hey Charline, rejoins-nous sur scène,
la salle est presque pleine.
Tu pourras y briser tes chaînes,
faire le plein d’oxygène.
Si le blues te colle à la peau,
viens le chanter bien haut.
Dis-toi que quand ta voix résonne,
y’en a qui en frissonnent !

Christian,
Nice arrangement - very well constructed.
Cool lyric - I didn't know mutine was the verb of mutiny - I'd always known it as mutiny - too perform a mutiny.
I've learnt something again today.
Enjoyed the song - Charline's a great name for a modern French Janis.


Cheers

That is an interesting and effective mashup of RTs.

The mandolin works really well in your arrangement as does your nice vocal.

Well done and we enjoyed it!!

Thanks Ray,
In the lyrics, " voix mutine " means " rebellious voice " like Janis's voice was ! Christian

Really nice work on this one smile The mandolin was a wonderful addition, and your vocal performance is top notch. The natural vibrato in your voice is really apparent on this one. It flows smoothly and has a really nice groove.

Thanks for sharing!

Great voice and song, sounds like it came out of a film, love hearing TJ Klay get some work on the harp.

Christian, I don't recall hearing your voice on a tune before....you should do it more often! It's a very intriguing song that holds the listeners attention all the way through! Loved the instrument choice, especially the bass! Thanks, Torrey

Nice work Christian! This is beautifully put together and engineered, crisp and clear. The vocal is just right. I loved the gypsy jazz feel.
