A legend... Johnny Hallyday was born on Tuesday, June 15, 1943, in Paris and passed away on the night of December 5 to 6, 2017, in Paris at the age of 74. He is the son of a Belgian father and a French mother. In 57 years of career, he recorded around 1300 songs. 180 songs were turned into music videos or scopitones. 758 authors and composers collaborated with Johnny. Johnny composed 105 songs himself and also composed about ten pieces for other artists. He also wrote and co-wrote a few songs. Johnny also has 545 duets with 188 different artists on 214 tracks. His first 45 RPM record was released on March 14, 1960, but it was on December 30, 1959, that he was heard for the first time on the radio in the show "Paris cocktail." On April 18, 1960, under the "patronage" of Line Renaud, he made his first television appearance in "L'école des vedettes." 57 years later, 93 certifications including 41 gold records, 4 double gold records, 23 platinum records, 8 double platinum records, 5 triple platinum records, and 12 diamond records (including one double diamond and one triple diamond) testify to an exceptional career, crowned by 10 Victories or Special Victories or Music Honor Victory. And 2 NRJ Music Awards. Johnny is the most acclaimed French artist and the one who has sold the most records in France. The number of units sold is estimated at 200 million, including more than 110 million records sold. Imagine if he had had an international career... With 805,000 sales in one week of "Mon pays c'est l'amour" (51st album) (posthumous album), Johnny was ranked No. 1 worldwide in 2018. A stage beast recognized by all, Johnny went on more than 184 tours and attracted nearly 30 million spectators throughout his career, having given more than 3502 concerts. Johnny is the only French artist whose almost complete works have been recorded in audio and video. About twenty fan clubs (approximately 10,000 members in total). Johnny is also an actor with no less than 43 films (including appearances) to his credit throughout his career. He received a "Jean Gabin" award in 2004 for the film "L'homme du train". Johnny was a good actor, but the films they offered him were not good films, unfortunately.. He dreamed of being an actor and not a singer, but life had other plans, and fortunately so!! Johnny was a great friend of animals, he always had dogs in his life, the animal cause was close to his heart, in 2002 he performed a magnificent song against those who abandon their animals. The song is titled "Au bord des routes" from the magnificent album "À la vie à la mort." In 2016, a year before his death, he was on a motorcycle road trip with friends on American roads, and it was then that he found an abandoned puppy by the side of the road. He couldn't resist and adopted her; the little dog is named "Cheyenne." He also sang a song that evokes the brutal repression by Chinese authorities of the Tiananmen Square protests in June 1989, the song is titled "Tien an men" from 1991. He was a man with a big heart. He was made a knight of the Legion of Honor in 1997, he has also been an officer of the Order of the Crown since 2001, but above all, he has been a knight of the Arts and Letters since 1995. He has sung in several languages (English, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, Japanese and German). By listening to his songs, you will realize that this great singer was capable of singing anything. There is something for everyone: rock'n'roll, rhythm and blues, soul, psychedelic rock, soft rock, pop rock, rockabilly, country, a rock opera album (Hamlet) from 1976 (This album was ahead of its time). A unique voice... His voice has continued to evolve over the years, becoming more and more powerful and precise. Johnny can be compared to the greatest singers in the world!! He brought together the rich, the less wealthy, and the poor. He brought together several generations. He gave exceptional concerts, with wild entrances like at the Parc des Princes in 1993, entering from the back of the stadium and parading through the crowd for three consecutive nights. (no one had done that before him). and he did it again in 2013 at Bercy, in 1998 he arrived by helicopter above the Stade de France, in 1984 at the Zenith he emerged from a giant hand (they had to break a wall to get the hand above the stage), in 2012 at the Stade de France he arrived in a giant flying ball resembling a mine, which landed on stage. Here are some songs: "Quelques cris, L'envie, Allumer le feu, Ce qui tue pas nous rend plus fort, Tu es elle, Que je t'aime, Je te promets, Quelque chose de Tennessee, Vivre pour le meilleur, Pense à moi, Marie, Laisse moi tomber, S'il nest pas trop tard, Ma religion dans son regard, Le temps passe, Si tu pars(2005), Mon plus beau Noël, Te savoir près de moi, Sang pour sang, Aimer vivre, Ça ne change pas un homme, True to you, Cadillac, Je ne suis pas un héros 'Bercy 1990', Requiem pour un fou 'Parc des Princes 1993', Derrière l'amour, Gabrielle, Ce que je sais, Moulin à vent, C'est du vent, Voyage au pays des vivants, À tout casser, Fumée, Comme si je devais mourir demain, J'ai oublié de vivre, Elle m'oublie, La musique que j'aime, Ma gueule, L'instinct, Diego 'Bercy 92', Animal, Un jour viendra, I am the blues, Ça ne finira jamais, De l'amour, La douceur de vivre, La paix, Debout, Pardonne-moi, Vent de panique, La loi du silence, Seul au beau milieu d'un lac, Sable mouvant, Ne m'oublie pas, Mon pays c'est l'amour, Made in rock'n'roll, Qui ose aimer, Autoportrait, Rock'n'roll attitude, Rester libre, J'ai pleuré sur ma guitare, L'amour peut prendre froid(duet with Céline Dion), Ne reviens pas, Rock'n'roll star (movie)duet with Fabrice Luchini(actor), J'la croise tous les matins, Quand le masque tombe, Et puis je sais, Pirate de l'air, Un rêve à faire, M'arrêter là, Essayez, Le coeur en deux, Entre chiens et loups, Un monde à part, A propos de mon père, Regarde moi t'aimer, Jamais(duet with Florent Pagny), Je serai là, Mirador, Les vautours, J'oublierai ton nom(duet with Carmel), Le chanteur abandonné, Toi tais-toi, Ne tuez pas la liberté, Montpellier, Il nous faudra parler d'amour un jour, J'ai épousé une ombre, Je n'oublierai jamais, Je suis nu je suis mort, Il me faudra plus de temps que m'en donnera la vie, Le bol d'or, Noël interdit, De la race humaine, Le pénitencier, La terre promise, La fille aux cheveux clairs, La fille de l'hiver, Sage pour vous, La tournée, J'aimerais pouvoir encore souffrir comme ça, La guitare fait mal, Parties de cartes, Pardon, Un cri, L'amour à mort, Prière pour un ami, Rouler vers l'ouest, Te manquer, Noir c'est noir, Love affair(duet with Kathy Mattea), Une lettre à l'enfant que j'étais, etcccc And many others.... 💯💣🗯💫🦾💪💥
Lara's microphone sound was at maximum (it resonated..) and Johnny's was lower.. It was Johnny who asked for it to be done like that. Lara was his guest at the Stade de France and he wanted her to demonstrate her vocal power and shine. Lara herself confirmed it. Johnny in all his generosity... Know that Johnny was a vocal power too but on this last interpretation he did not want because it was done on purpose, Johnny was very intelligent in doing that to make the song more dramatic and show their acting on this magnificent song that belongs to him. The desired goal was the dramatic side of the singing all in power but less than Lara (Johnny) with at the same time next to him a more striking singing power (Lara) and the passionate play between the two. Everything was imagined by Johnny himself to end the last interpretation in style. A masterpiece, perhaps the most beautiful duet in the world.💫💥🎉
Lara said this is her favorite duet. She was very nervous because it was performance on Stade de France (national stadium in France in Paris) in front of 80.000 people and Johnny is legend in France. She said touching him made her less nervous so she was all over him lol PS lyrics give a sort of Bonnie and Clayde impression
A bit of context: in 1998, Johnny Hallyday was well established as a french rock'n roll icon. A stage beast, known for leaving it all on the scene for his audience. Lara's career was blossoming in France. They met, and performed this song, during a tv early 1998 if memory serves. After the show, according to Lara, Johnny came to see her and told her "You're doing the Stade (de France, the arena where this is filmed) with me". Romanced by Lara or actual words, who knows... Fast forward to September 1998 and this series of concerts (I think they did that duet twice at the Stade de France, but I could be wrong). The original song was pretty powerful to start with due to its theme and its lyrics. Add Johnny Hallyday's performance on stage. Add an orchestra and a choir. Then top it off with a blooming Lara (she was a stage freak back then, not holding her voice back, which drew criticism from the music industry ironically). And voila! Now, as to whether Lara was falling for Johnny (and vice versa): I know that Lara admitted being impressed by the charismatic artist that Johnny was, and that once she looked into his eyes (he had pretty colored eyes admittedly), she kind of melted. But, as far as I know, back then, she was in a relationship, albeit a brief one, with a french singer, Patrick Fiori. So, admiration, respect, sensuality, attraction even maybe? Sure. But that probably stopped there I'd say. Also, Lara mentioned that Johnny actually let her own the stage during these performances. He never tried to overpower her because he was the senior one, the established artist. He gave her a hand, he propped her up artistically speaking so she could rise to the occasion. That's also why Lara had a genuine affection for Johnny.
Well, as a matter of fact the attraction was pretty much mutual even tho Johnny was in the 2nd year of his 5th (and final marriage) to a 22 yrs old gold digger and Lara just started seeing a french singer who's name I refuse to type down. Johnny was 55 and Lara was 28 and whenever they shared space sparks flew and yes, Johnny told Lara that she will sing with him at the Stade de France. I don't know if Lara and Johnny ever acted on their obvious chemistry, but what I know for sure is that his wife got hysterical when Johnny mentioned that he would like to take Lara on his next tour. There was only one other woman of whom she got this hysterical about and that was Sylvie Vartan, Johnny's ex and the love of his life. After this concert Lara and Johnny sang together only twice a few years later when Lara was single at the time.. As the story goes the wife didn't know about it, because by Johnny's personal request Lara flew in to sing one single song with him, his most famous love song : Derriere L'Amour. If you know the lyrics, you should know what that means if you don't know the words here's the translation. lyricstranslate.com/en/derrière-lamour-behind-love.html
Johnny was famous as French rocker and a real beast on the scene ( not my favorite question of taste ) but agree with a real big hug performer ... he said that only Lara can do this ( sing ) with him ... Well of course in French the lyrics are important because most of the famous French songs it’s more about poetry and transmission ... Lara Fabian is kind the of exception ... very very good ! Merci j’adore vous écouter très grand professionnel 🙏🌹🇫🇷
Hi, thank you for this reaction! I just want to point out, that at some point in her career, Lara had started holding back because critiques were pretty harsh with her (she was a too good singer, too loud, some even said she need to shxt up....), and she tought that if she held back, it'd be better with critiques... In some interviews she even said that she had lost her "voice" for a time. This of course, is not the case for that performance and now that's in the past but she had some hard times both in her personnal and professional life.
Yes! It reminds me of the way Janis Joplin was treated. Different generation, different women, but there’s an honesty to them. Aznavour was cruelly received too. So was Beethoven, so I say, sing on you crazy diamonds!
hello, he kills his love to keep her beside hm. the police is outside, and at the morning he will open the widows to be also killed and forever be with his love. that's talking about
It is called “Requiem For A Fool.” The police are surrounding them and shining their lights - hence, the strobe effect. He knows he’ll go to prison, but is a fool for love, and they will die together by dawn. They will not be taken alive. (The rain was an accidental effect. Also, Johnny told Lara to “bring her ‘A’ game” and laughed.)
i am a big fan of your videos and indeed am a subscriber - that being said a small criticism/request.................Dimash is a great singer but NOT EVERY VIDEO needs to refer to him - react to what you are seeing, in this case Johnny and Lara, and leave dimash out
Yes, finally someone said it. Why does every single reviewer listening to Lara have to refer to that guy??? If anything, it should be the other way around.
@@sinceritysf we are somewhat alike, Jeff and I, with 1 major difference ...................... I have a crush on Lara and Jeff has a crush on Dimash !
Omg...I really enjoy your perspectives on Lara Fabian but I wonder!!...is it possible you can do a reaction of her without bringing up Dimash? Every freakin time! Man you're in love with that guy! Other than that I really like your points of view but please!!...try and restrain yourself! Dimash was a tiny young boy when this concert took place...
@@sinceritysf Yes i completely agree with you, i don‘t understand the whole obsession a lot of video reactors have with Dimash. All i see is vocal acrobatics but no feelings, especially compared with Lara.
Body language wise? It certainly looked like Lara was far more "into Johnny", than Johnny into Lara. Johnny hardly made eye contact with her, even when he was being grabbed, pulled and fondled all over. He performed his character with a minimum of personal contact. For me, they are both...not idols, because I really don't see myself as the type who has idols, but if I did, them two, along with Bruno Pelletier (it wouldn't hurt you to check out that Quebecois singer if you're into voices which tear down walls, btw), would be about it. The way I see it, if you knew what each of them represented as artists in France, at the time, you would realise he didn't need to be "into" anyone or anything. Not on stage, anyway. He was the perfect professional, giving his newcomer partener all the room she needed to make an impression. He was a legend already, nothing left to prove. Lara got the message and acted accordingly, nothing wrong with that. All in all, they work together perfectly. Despite Lara being a bit more "out there", Johnny's performance is not losing a thing, by letting her shine. He plays the support character role with all the security of someone who knows he can take the lead anytime he wishes to. She's loud, he's powerful. They complete each other perfectly. Was there more to it than that? Who's to say, after all Johnny was a very charismatic character, to say the least. As for those gossip lovers below...whatever your favourites do when they are offstage, is none of your business. And if you trully admire them as much as you pretend, leaving their private lives out of it, would be the minimum courtesy you can do them. Their wives/husbands/families/mistresses, are not supposed to be of your liking, but theirs. End of discussion.
I warn you, do not approach Whether you are a cop or an onlooker I kill whoever takes a step No, I won't give a present Turn off all those spotlights And lower your pointed guns No I'm not gonna fly Without her Tell the priest, tell the pastor that elsewhere they are going to be hanged The devil came by early and my soul is no longer for sale If you leave me tonight At dawn I'll give you my life Because what would my life be without him? I was just a fool but for love She made me A madman, a madman of love My sky was her eyes, her mouth My life was her body, her body I loved her so much, yes, that to keep her I killed her So that a great love (a great love) always live (oh, always) He must die Yes, let him die of love The day is breaking, the night is growing pale Hunters and dogs are hungry It's time to ring the hallali The beast must die this morning Oh, I'll open the shutters wide Break my heart, I'm ready I want to fall asleep forever Forever, oh! I was just a fool (a fool) but for love (for love) She made me A madman, a madman of love My sky was her eyes, her mouth My life was her body, her body And i loved her so much That to keep her, I killed her I'm just a fool (oh, you're just a fool) a crazy love (just a fool) A poor fool Yes who dies of love Oh, you die, yeah yeah!
The only two great legends in France it’s Claude François and Johnny Hallyday I am in France so I know it very great singer and dancer Claude François Johnny Hallyday very great singer too inquire on Google
here a fair translation I found... (you have to keep in mind that English is a technical language when French is a "feeling" or a romance language, then forcely, english translation won't give justice to this song ) Requiem pour un fou (requiem for a fool) I warn you to not approach Whether you are a cop or an onlooker I kill whoever takes a step I will not give a chance Turn off all your projectors And lower your pointed guns No I won't fly away without her (here, there is a play of word. because "her", in french is "Elle" and it sound like "Ailes" that means "wings", so you can translate "no I won't fly away without her/without wings) Tell the priest, tell the pastor That elsewhere they go and be hanged The devil came by early And my soul is no longer for sale If you leave me tonight At dawn I'll give you my life What would my life be for me without her [Chorus] Johnny And Lara I was just a fool but for love She made me crazy, crazy with love My sky was her eyes, her mouth My life was her body, her body I loved her so much that to keep her I killed her So that a great love always lives He must die he die of love Johnny And Lara The day rises the night turns pale Hunters and dogs are hungry It's time to ring the hallali The beast must die this morning I'll open the shutters wide Poke my heart i'm ready I want to fall asleep forever near her [Chorus] Johnny And Lara I was just a fool but for love She made me crazy, crazy with love My sky was her eyes, her mouth My life was her body, her body I loved her so much that to keep her I killed her I'm just a madman, mad about love A poor fool who dies Who dies of love
@@ReactionsByJeff I just want to put this right.johnny hallyday (artist name) and Lara Fabián both were born in Belgium.Lara's mother was italian.Belgium has three official languages now but only two when they were Young: flemish and french.so both Lara and Johnny made their carreer in France with a much bigger audience. Greetings from Mallorca,my home for 50 years ,speaking spanish but still loving to Talk in flemish or french
@@margaritabosschaerts8851 Actually, while Johnny's dad was Belgian, Johnny was born in Paris, in the 9th arrondissement. Not that his dad left him much more than his actual last name, Smet, leaving the family mere months after he was born.
Hello to you,it is possible that you make à vidéo on Claude François a legendary singer with us in France timeless besides it is thanks to Claude François that the song (My way) exists because the original of the real song of (My way) is Française and Claude François the song (My boy) that Elvis covered later is a song of French origin and created by Claude François as well the song (The phone is crying) is a song of French origin and by Claude François inquire on Google My friend thanks
I hear you on that. Thank you. My channel is 95% Lara and Dimash, so it has been a very easy trap to fall into. I will do my best to avoid that in the future.
A legend... Johnny Hallyday was born on Tuesday, June 15, 1943, in Paris and passed away on the night of December 5 to 6, 2017, in Paris at the age of 74.

yup, its about him becoming crazy (mad) and dying from love , aka "requiem for a madman" translated
Johnny was a lucky man that night. If Lara was nervous, it never showed.
Wow! That was some performance, both were a force of nature.
A bit of context: in 1998, Johnny Hallyday was well established as a french rock'n roll icon. A stage beast, known for leaving it all on the scene for his audience. Lara's career was blossoming in France.

‘Un fou’ in french can refer to both a fool and a madman. In this song there is kind of this dual meaning to it 😄 loved this reaction!
I’d say Johnny’s “inner madman” came out. They were mad people in the throes of agony, and they breathed it. Bravo!
Johnny french legend
Rest in peace johnny

i mfrench lille north of france johnny is a legend in france ....merci beaucoup peace and love usa!!!
Lara in She- Hulk mode lol I love her. The power is incredible. Her voice is incredible.she started singing opera style all of a sudden lol
Lara était l invitée de Johnny lors d un de ses concert. Moment d émotion intense. Une des plus belles chansons de Johnny My King.
"Holding back?" Are you kidding me?? She hits the stage like a hurricane. @6:21, yea...me too. Notice her diva hand @ 9:37?
I believe he was referring to another reviewer speaking of another duet. Indeed, I have noticed Fabian is a very generous partner. Very professional.
@@DoggieFosters Gotta be. This performance is not "held back" in any way, IMO. lol.
i love the lushness of the chorus and orchestra is wonderful.
Hi, thank you for this reaction!
I just want to point out, that at some point in her career, Lara had started holding back because critiques were pretty harsh with her (she was a too good singer, too loud, some even said she need to shxt up....), and she tought that if she held back, it'd be better with critiques... In some interviews she even said that she had lost her "voice" for a time.
This of course, is not the case for that performance and now that's in the past but she had some hard times both in her personnal and professional life.
And she also is really good at "adapting" her voice to the other singer she's singing with
Yes! It reminds me of the way Janis Joplin was treated. Different generation, different women, but there’s an honesty to them. Aznavour was cruelly received too. So was Beethoven, so I say, sing on you crazy diamonds!
Et oui, jalousie jalousie. Sa voix est tellement incroyable, elle touche en plein cœur
hello, he kills his love to keep her beside hm. the police is outside, and at the morning he will open the widows to be also killed and forever be with his love. that's talking about
It is called “Requiem For A Fool.” The police are surrounding them and shining their lights - hence, the strobe effect. He knows he’ll go to prison, but is a fool for love, and they will die together by dawn. They will not be taken alive. (The rain was an accidental effect. Also, Johnny told Lara to “bring her ‘A’ game” and laughed.)
Fantástico, phenomenaaaaaal 💕🥰😍🤩🤩😍🥰🤩😍🤩😍😍🥰🤩😍😍🥰
Thank you for sharing, great reaction 👍😉
i am a big fan of your videos and indeed am a subscriber - that being said a small criticism/request.................Dimash is a great singer but NOT EVERY VIDEO needs to refer to him - react to what you are seeing, in this case Johnny and Lara, and leave dimash out
Thank you!
Yes, finally someone said it. Why does every single reviewer listening to Lara have to refer to that guy??? If anything, it should be the other way around.
@@sinceritysf absolutely!
@@sinceritysf we are somewhat alike, Jeff and I, with 1 major difference ...................... I have a crush on Lara and Jeff has a crush on Dimash !
Omg...I really enjoy your perspectives on Lara Fabian but I wonder!!...is it possible you can do a reaction of her without bringing up Dimash? Every freakin time! Man you're in love with that guy! Other than that I really like your points of view but please!!...try and restrain yourself! Dimash was a tiny young boy when this concert took place...
Almost every reviewer who watches Lara these days does that. I don't understand what the obsession is.
@@sinceritysf Yes i completely agree with you, i don‘t understand the whole obsession a lot of video reactors have with Dimash. All i see is vocal acrobatics but no feelings, especially compared with Lara.
very French performance, yes? reminds me of the Apache dancing that i remember as a kid. Hot emotions.
Welcome to France 😎
Body language wise? It certainly looked like Lara was far more "into Johnny", than Johnny into Lara. Johnny hardly made eye contact with her, even when he was being grabbed, pulled and fondled all over. He performed his character with a minimum of personal contact. For me, they are both...not idols, because I really don't see myself as the type who has idols, but if I did, them two, along with Bruno Pelletier (it wouldn't hurt you to check out that Quebecois singer if you're into voices which tear down walls, btw), would be about it. The way I see it, if you knew what each of them represented as artists in France, at the time, you would realise he didn't need to be "into" anyone or anything. Not on stage, anyway. He was the perfect professional, giving his newcomer partener all the room she needed to make an impression. He was a legend already, nothing left to prove. Lara got the message and acted accordingly, nothing wrong with that. All in all, they work together perfectly. Despite Lara being a bit more "out there", Johnny's performance is not losing a thing, by letting her shine. He plays the support character role with all the security of someone who knows he can take the lead anytime he wishes to. She's loud, he's powerful. They complete each other perfectly. Was there more to it than that? Who's to say, after all Johnny was a very charismatic character, to say the least. As for those gossip lovers below...whatever your favourites do when they are offstage, is none of your business. And if you trully admire them as much as you pretend, leaving their private lives out of it, would be the minimum courtesy you can do them. Their wives/husbands/families/mistresses, are not supposed to be of your liking, but theirs. End of discussion.
De gaulle la tour eiffel Bardot notre dame de Paris et Johnny legend of France !!!
Both drammatico Singers put pot music to another level close to opera the whole performance
I warn you, do not approach
Whether you are a cop or an onlooker
I kill whoever takes a step
No, I won't give a present Turn off all those spotlights
And lower your pointed guns No I'm not gonna fly Without her
Tell the priest, tell the pastor that elsewhere they are going to be hanged
The devil came by early and my soul is no longer for sale
If you leave me tonight
At dawn I'll give you my life
Because what would my life be without him?
I was just a fool but for love
She made me
A madman, a madman of love
My sky was her eyes, her mouth
My life was her body, her body
I loved her so much, yes, that to keep her I killed her
So that a great love (a great love) always live (oh, always)
He must die
Yes, let him die of love
The day is breaking, the night is growing pale
Hunters and dogs are hungry
It's time to ring the hallali
The beast must die this morning
Oh, I'll open the shutters wide
Break my heart, I'm ready
I want to fall asleep forever
Forever, oh!
I was just a fool (a fool) but for love (for love)
She made me
A madman, a madman of love
My sky was her eyes, her mouth
My life was her body, her body
And i loved her so much
That to keep her, I killed her
I'm just a fool (oh, you're just a fool) a crazy love (just a fool)
A poor fool
Yes who dies of love
Oh, you die, yeah yeah!
the lyrics!!!!!!!!
The only two great legends in France it’s Claude François and Johnny Hallyday I am in France so I know it very great singer and dancer Claude François Johnny Hallyday very great singer too inquire on Google
here a fair translation I found... (you have to keep in mind that English is a technical language when French is a "feeling" or a romance language, then forcely, english translation won't give justice to this song )
Requiem pour un fou (requiem for a fool)
I warn you to not approach
Whether you are a cop or an onlooker
I kill whoever takes a step
I will not give a chance
Turn off all your projectors
And lower your pointed guns
No I won't fly away without her
(here, there is a play of word. because "her", in french is "Elle" and it sound like "Ailes" that means "wings", so you can translate "no I won't fly away without her/without wings)
Tell the priest, tell the pastor
That elsewhere they go and be hanged
The devil came by early
And my soul is no longer for sale
If you leave me tonight
At dawn I'll give you my life
What would my life be for me without her
[Chorus] Johnny And Lara
I was just a fool but for love
She made me crazy, crazy with love
My sky was her eyes, her mouth
My life was her body, her body
I loved her so much that to keep her I killed her
So that a great love always lives
He must die he die of love
Johnny And Lara
The day rises the night turns pale
Hunters and dogs are hungry
It's time to ring the hallali
The beast must die this morning
I'll open the shutters wide
Poke my heart i'm ready
I want to fall asleep forever near her
[Chorus] Johnny And Lara
I was just a fool but for love
She made me crazy, crazy with love
My sky was her eyes, her mouth
My life was her body, her body
I loved her so much that to keep her I killed her
I'm just a madman, mad about love
A poor fool who dies
Who dies of love
Thank you for this! It's awesome!

I just want to put this right.johnny hallyday (artist name) and Lara Fabián both were born in Belgium.Lara's mother was italian.Belgium has three official languages now but only two when they were Young: flemish and french.so both Lara and Johnny made their carreer in France with a much bigger audience.
Greetings from Mallorca,my home for 50 years ,speaking spanish but still loving to Talk in flemish or french
@@margaritabosschaerts8851
Actually, while Johnny's dad was Belgian, Johnny was born in Paris, in the 9th arrondissement. Not that his dad left him much more than his actual last name, Smet, leaving the family mere months after he was born.
@@ohauss thank you for correcting me.wish you a nice ending of 2020
Hello to you,it is possible that you make à vidéo on Claude François a legendary singer with us in France timeless besides it is thanks to Claude François that the song (My way) exists because the original of the real song of (My way) is Française and Claude François the song (My boy) that Elvis covered later is a song of French origin and created by Claude François as well the song (The phone is crying) is a song of French origin and by Claude François inquire on Google My friend thanks
stop with dimash .... he is unknowed in europe !
I hear you on that. Thank you. My channel is 95% Lara and Dimash, so it has been a very easy trap to fall into. I will do my best to avoid that in the future.
