Recorded in 1969 by this Dutch quintet, this was a pleasant piece of pop/rock first issued in Holland, where it sold 100,000 copies. In February 1970 it climbed to #5 in the US charts where it remained for 10 weeks. >> The title translates to: "My beautiful (female) friend." The rest of the French part in the lyrics translates to: "After all the beautiful days, I tell you thank you, thank you." >>
Ma belle amie You were a child of the sun And the sky and the deep blue sea Ma belle amie Après tous les beaux jours Je te dis merci merci You were the answer of all my questions Before were through I want to tell you that I adore you And always do That you amaze me by leaving me now And start a-new Ma belle amie I'm in love with you Let the bells ring Let the birds sing Lets all give my substitute a big cheer Let the bells ring Let the birds sing For the man after him waits here For the man after him waits here Ma belle amie You were a child of the sun And the sky and the deep blue sea Ma belle amie There was a time that you thought That your only friend was me You were the answer of all my questions Before were through I want to tell you that I adore you And always do That you amaze me by leaving me now And start a-new Ma belle amie I'm in love with you Let the bells ring Let the birds sing Lets all give my substitute a big cheer Let the bells ring Let the birds sing For the man after him waits here For the man after him waits here
