Beyond the regrets and nostalgia following the loss of a father, it is definitely to me a song about modest, hardworking people who have lived a difficult but honorable life. Thank you for sharing.
Je peux pas écouter cette chanson sans pleurer et pourtant mon papa est tjs en vie ! Cette chanson elle nous apprend qu'il faut profiter de nos parents tant qu'ils sont encore là !
Le miens n'est plus là et je me reconnais dans ce qu'il dit, quand on a 15 ans on se rend pas compte que le temps n'est pas extensible. Je donnerai tout pour passer encore du temps avec lui....je souhaite à personne ce qu'on a vécu sur la fin alors profitez bien de votre papa tant que vous en avez le temps. 🥰
😢.... quand on avait 15 piges, on vivait notre vie, et en vieillissant, on prend conscience de ces moments de vie qu'on a pas forcément su bien appréhender.... c'est ainsi. Que cette chanson est magnifique ❤...
It's also a song about lower class families as well as a song to pay tribute to his father. Boring job, boring life, no TV, no big holidays... but his father made sure the kids had food in their plates and a roof.
I’m french and that’s it, absolutly. This is the feeling of that song : a father who is not funny or « glamour », but does the most important for his family, like an anonymous and with no show of.
life after the war 40 45, my father told me that at 6 years old he had to cross the fields to bring food to the farm workers, and he got a slap because he had cut the cheese around the bread
Un texte incroyable avec des mots simples… génial, à chaque fois que je l’écoute c’est pareil … les larmes me viennent… une des plus belles chansons françaises… éternelle 👍
A plus de cinquante ans, cette chanson me tire toujours les larmes, il faut dire a nos proches qu'on les aime avant qu'il soit trop tard pour le faire.
C'est l'un des chanteurs le plus humain qu'il soit! Il avait participé à la création d'un arbre de Noel pour les enfants des motards de la police de la préfecture de Nanterre. J'y ai eu le droit deux années de suite. Après j'étais trop grand ^^. C'est un grand fan des voyages en camping car. Il fait toujours ses tours de chants avec. Merci Monsieur Guichard. Je serais très ému si je devais le recroiser un jour.
I lost my dad when I was 8 years old (leukemia), his song make me cry every time. his songs are always true and sincere, we feel the involvement he puts in his interpretation. others songs "La tendresse", "Je t'aime, tu vois", "Le gitan" "Faut pas pleurer comme ça"
@@fredergr c'est bien ce qu'il m'arrive là en écoutant cette magnifique chanson. Même quand cela fait longtemps, cette chanson remue l'âme toujours autant
Les paroles furent écrites par Michelle Senlis et la musique composée par Jean Ferrat en 1962. A l' origine, le texte était un peu différent et beaucoup plus profond, légitime. la chanson s' adresse au père, qui travaille dans les chemins de fer, la SNCF. Les employés de la SNCF, comme ceux des British rail ways gagnaient peu d' argent, mais ils avaient la sécurité de l' emploi. Souvent, ceux qui travaillaient sur la voie, à restaurer, réparer les traverses de bois, changer les rails, souffraient beaucoup, ils étaient à la peine. Pour les roulants, les conducteurs de locomotives, les enfants voyaient rarement leur père, parce que la majorité des convois circulaient la nuit, donc le père dormait la journée. C' est dans cette atmosphère que Michelle Senlis écrivit le texte. Le père de Michelle Senlis était cheminot. Jean Ferrat est notre meilleur chanteur de ce temps, mais il composait bien aussi. Daniel Guichard n' avait pas acquis les droits légaux pour chanter cette chanson. Il la vola et en changea un peu les paroles. Il chanta certes très bien cette chanson mais il était illégitime, un salaud en quelques sortes. Dans les conflits d' intérêts, et au regard de l' immense réussite commerciale de Daniel Guichard, Michelle Senlis n' eut jamais gain de cause devant les tribunaux, déjà corrompus en ce temps. Il reste que je préfère écouter des versions bien plus humbles, avec des voix très simples, mais honnêtes et légitimes, dans la version originale. Ci dessous, Jacques Boyer chante, il était ami proche de Jean Ferrat. ua-cam.com/video/tvu9-xgZ2mM/v-deo.html
My father passed away almost two years ago and this was one of his favorite songs because it reminded him of his own father. I cannot hear it without crying.
Glad you shared this song with english-speaking audiences. An other great thing about Daniel Guichard is that he stayed away from show business and chose a sort of gipsy life, driving his motor home between concert places. He does not appear much on TV but has a loyal fanbase that will attend his concerts.
The fact is… he had to stop singing because he came in massive, and unjustified problems with the tax government office. He tried to prove himself innocent of the charges put against him, but in France you first have to pay then file a recourse. He could never pay and was prosecuted, was in a legal battle for 20 or 30 years, it cost him his career. All because one tax office employee did not want to admit she made a mistake.
@@Makapida So sad! For me he is the most nice guy of the show-business of that time. I've heard an interview of him recently, he is still a very nice, clever and simple man. He has never deny is popular roots.
I'm a woman, and it hits just the same. My father was both my Mum and my Dad, and larger than life to me, though his life was quite ordinary. He took me sailing . He let me watch when he was donating blood. On the summer I worked hard at a factory as a summer job, he even said "I'm proud of you, my son". He took me to his political activities. Everyday I wish I had spent more time with him when I could. And we did not have Tv in my family until 1971 or 1972, it was too expensive . Books were valued.
Une chanson française magnifique et tellement vraie. Mon père est parti et j’ai attendu trop longtemps pour lui dire JE T’AIME. Quels regrets de ne pas avoir été si présent à ses côtés.
I am french and 53 years old, i can tell you, this song is purely true. My father was like all the father who are missing us. (Sorry for my english). I'd like to translate the words, and the feeling it can spray. This song is "a love song" for all the kids who loved their father.
"that's gonna shed tears..." yep. you're right. I'm crying. I knew I would, and yet I still clicked on the video. yep. great song. (and my dad is still among us)
Sans doute une des plus belles chansons du répertoire français ! Qui n'a pas eu les larmes aux yeux en l'écoutant. Daniel Guichard est un chanteur un peu hors norme en France, très loin du show biz, très peu d'appartions télé. Il me semble que pendant un temps, il arpentait la France en vieux van.
I am impressed as you understood this french song. About the tv , at that time, not all frenchs had tv at home. Daniel had , also, an incredible career. He did not learned how to sing, he simply sang. Some day , a showbusiness man listened to him, and then he became a famous french singer , singing popular french songs. I recommend you to listen his interpretation of a Edith Piaf song : "les amants d'un jour" or " je t'aime tu vois" that are French ultimative songs.♥️🥰👍

Bonjour Uncle D, Une belle chanson, très bien écrite, devenue un classique aujourd'hui et qui parle à tous ceux qui ont connu ces années-là.

Il faut voir la version « Daniel Guichard - Mon Vieux Live 2005 - Enregistré à la Bourse du Travail de Lyon » disponible sur la chaîne officielle du chanteur. Les arrangements, l'orchestration, l'interprétation, tout est magnifique dans cette version. Paix, les gens. ☮👈😎
It is very rude and usually used by people with little education, I use this term to shock usually. So it is not popular and I don't know where you get that from? Appeler son père mon vieux c'est très années 60-70 dans les classes très populaires, mais aujourd'hui c'est passé de mode et c'est pas plus mal vu que c'est pas mal rabaissant et limite injurieux, même si ce n'est pas du tout l'intention de départ
Daniel Guichard was born in 1948, and this song tells the memories of his father, his old (colloquial language) ! I am 62 years old and today still young people, of whom my son speaks about their vieux, and often with respect... 50 years later, this song still shakes our guts and brings back lots of memories about ourvieux, who has been gone for more or less a long time !!!
We children often talk about the special relationship we have with our mother, but this song reminds us that although the relationship with our father is often less close than that with our mother, we must not forget that the father was the pillar of the family. We often have to wait until his death to express all the love we had for him and that we forgot to show him when he was alive.
Little detail of translation : "l'été on allait voir la mer" is not "We went (in vacations) to the seaside". It is "We went and watch the sea". His family doesn't seem rich enough to go on hollidays. May be they live near by and just take a bus, their bikes or a walk to contemplate the sea. When I was a kid, our sunday family "sortie" was to walk to the airport to watch the planes take off .✈️

Cette chanson me rappelle mon père parti trop tôt. Merci de l'avoir écouté et commenté. This song reminds me of my father, who passed away too soon. Thank you for listening to it and commenting.
J'ai grandi avec ses chansons. Ma mère l'adore. Difficile de retenir ses larmes lorsqu'il dit: "Papa" à la fin. Daniel Guichard est un chanteur populaire dans le bon sens du terme ! Et il tourne encore ...
En plus du charisme naturel de DG, de sa voix particulière et de sa modestie aussi authentique que celle de Brassens, on peut ajouter sa beauté, la profondeur de son regard bleu, il etait absolument craquant et pour l'avoir vu dans une vidéo récente, il est toujours aussi mignon, il vieillit très lentement et son aura est toujours la même, un mélange de tendresse, d'humour et de joie tranquille.
@reactions by D - not jewish for not having TV but just not enough cash to buy Tv set. at that time only a few people in France could avoid to buy TV sets
Cette chanson a été écrite par Michelle Senlis et composée par Jean Ferrat en 1962 à cette époque en France il y avait peu de poste de télévision, une télévion qui été en Noir et blanc et ou il y avait 1 seule chaine et qui n'émettez pas en continue.
The period of chilhood he describes was the beginning of TV's in each home; It was very expensive, and we had few channels. I was born 2 years after this song, and it was still a privilège to have a TV, we children didn't have the right to watch it all day long...
2:34 "Pas la télé" In my mother's village, my grand parents where the first ones to own a television. I was born in 83, and we only had 4 channels ! 😅 (and the first computer in 86) You understand a nice bit of french I see. And yes, this song is a tear-jerker first class.
yes in france we have some sort of "causual" speech and when we said " mon vieu" we are speaking of our father, we CAN say " ma vieille" for our mother too but use it less we mostly said "ma mère" we too have some " familliar" way to speak of these too "maman" for mother (you can translate it in " mommy" in english) and "papa" for the father ( you can translate it as " daddy")! for exemple if we said "mon vieu est revenu de l'hospital hier!" you can translate it as " my old man came back from the hospital yesterday!"
thank you for revealing old french songs, like this one, that are anchored in my hearth. It amazes me how much these lyrics resonate with what miss the most in our times.
This song will forever give me goosebumps. My papa is still alive, he's not perfect but he's trying his hardest. Dédicace à toi papa, je sais que tu aimes cette chanson !
Don't worry, I will translate further. Il est très plaisant d'entendre un Américain apprécier une chanson française qui, il est vrai, est magnifique. Il faut comprendre aussi qu'en' France, longtemps, Daniel Guichard a été traité un peu comme un beauf. Il n'a jamais trop aimé le milieu du show-business. Il se déplace en camping-car et aime manger du thon en boîte. Forcément, ce n'est pas un chanteur glamour. Pour autant, c'est un vrai poète qui a écrit de très belles chansons comme "la tendresse" ou celle-ci a propos de son père, des papas en général. C'est chouette de le mettre en avant. Merci. Actuelly, i'm not gonna translate this. "Beauf" means some how "red neck". I just say that Daniel Guichard as been treated like a "has-been" (we use this expression in french) for many years in our country. He travel in mobile-home, enjoy simple things (where have they gone ?) so... he never been considered like how he always been : a good guy.
Sad song because it makes us remember at that time it was harder but good things were double good and makes us renember the most important: say I love you to people you love, you will regret if you haven't done... I miss you dad and mom
2:35 In France, the TV was not something common and cheap, in early 60's. The tv became more common after the 70's. I was born in 1974, my parents get only the old black and white tv post from my grand-pa. Oh, and yes, Mon Vieux (My old man) is an ancient way in street language to say My Dad. This song is about his dad. a very sad song. a love letter to his gone dad.
un chanteur fabuleux et cette chanson me touche énormément, car c'est mots pour mots la vie de mon papa et de ma jeunesse sur paris ou mon vieux partait le matin très tôt avec son par dessus rapé...
A great song which will be always current. The particular relation between a dad and his son. I lived it as millions of boys became men and older.... Merci Daniel and thanks D. in french "mon vieux" means for a boy his dad. It is familiar to speak about his dad after 14 years old, to the other, but not disrespectful.
C'est une des plus jolies chansons françaises des années 70. Sa voix est profonde et nous transporte vers l'émotion. Après je suis plus rock'n roll, mais c'est indéniablement le genre de chansons qui vous touche, même si je n'aimais pas mon père!
Hi, When you heard the phrase "there was no TV in our house", you asked yourself: why are you Jewish?" No, that has nothing to do with it. In France, televisions came very late to modest homes. The French began to be interested in television at the time of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of England. The French were in number in front of the TV sales stores to watch this coronation. I saw videos and it was impressive. France at the time was a country largely made up of workers and peasants. I come from this environment and I am very proud of it! In addition, TVs were extremely expensive. At my parents' house, the first TV arrived when I was twelve (I was born in 1959) and it was a second-hand TV. It took many years to be able to have a new color TV. I think my family wasn't the only one. And Daniel Guichard's family was simply not rich
@@itnow It's true that when the family wanted to watch a TV show they had to go to a relative's house. I remember that my parents and I went from time to time to my father's friend's house to watch TV and I remember a soap opera that scared me: BELFEGOR. And I was going to take refuge under the table. Today that has changed a lot because I love science fiction and “horror” films.
(French here 😊), Daniel Guichard was a very famous singer during 70's, and this song particulary too, nostalgic one, about french education lower class model, the story about a family before the boom TV during 60's.This song is still a very popular old French song
MERCI!!!!!! I cried the sh*t out.... a last... I wet my beard for good!!! This react, moreover this song finally helped me mourn my recently lost father. Those are true words I needed to hear, again but with circumpstances... Thanx and cheers from Auvergne! ;*
Probably Daniel Guichard's most beautiful song. At his home, there was no television because, at the time, it was expensive. And he came from a modest working class. Don't miss these other songs "La tendresse", "Je t'aime tu vois", "Faut pas pleurer comme ça" and of course "Le gitan".

"Mon vieux" is a popular way to say "my father" in french.
It is also often the same translation in English, as they use the term "old man" to describe their fathers.
"Raise"
It is very rude and usually used by people with little education, I use this term to shock usually. So it is not popular and I don't know where you get that from?
Appeler son père mon vieux c'est très années 60-70 dans les classes très populaires, mais aujourd'hui c'est passé de mode et c'est pas plus mal vu que c'est pas mal rabaissant et limite injurieux, même si ce n'est pas du tout l'intention de départ
In French, that's not rude, that's like a joke (French culture like some "tender" bashing, that's typically French) but now, it's outdated.
Non, c'était pas injurieux du tout.
Daniel Guichard was born in 1948, and this song tells the memories of his father, his old (colloquial language) ! I am 62 years old and today still young people, of whom my son speaks about their vieux, and often with respect... 50 years later, this song still shakes our guts and brings back lots of memories about ourvieux, who has been gone for more or less a long time !!!

We children often talk about the special relationship we have with our mother, but this song reminds us that although the relationship with our father is often less close than that with our mother, we must not forget that the father was the pillar of the family. We often have to wait until his death to express all the love we had for him and that we forgot to show him when he was alive.
Little detail of translation : "l'été on allait voir la mer" is not "We went (in vacations) to the seaside". It is "We went and watch the sea".
His family doesn't seem rich enough to go on hollidays. May be they live near by and just take a bus, their bikes or a walk to contemplate the sea.
When I was a kid, our sunday family "sortie" was to walk to the airport to watch the planes take off .✈️
It was also the post-war period
@@LizzieJaneBennet in my village, the great entertainment for the children of our neighbourhood, consisted of going to the butcher 's 👁️shop , to look at the sausage 🌭 cutting ✂️ machine..
The best song from D Guichard.......R I P Francoise Hardy....
Françoise Hardy vient de partir au ciel ,icône des années 60
elle a écrit ´Message personnel ‘ une superbe chanson intemporelle
Merci pour tes réactions toujours pleines d’humanité
Magnifique chanson de Michel Berger magnifiée par le texte d’introduction de Françoise Hardy 🫶🏼
"Mon ami la rose "aussi est pas mal 😮
"Partir quand même" offre un écho différent suite à son décès.
I’m French, I’m glad you chose one of Daniel Guichard’s best songs , merci ! 🙏
You nailed it. Thanks from France, we are all brothers, one soul.
True/vrai !
I'm french and this song is a classic... So much words we didn't say to our fathers when they were alive... And when they dis, it's too late.
Cette chanson me rappelle mon père parti trop tôt. Merci de l'avoir écouté et commenté.
This song reminds me of my father, who passed away too soon. Thank you for listening to it and commenting.
J'ai grandi avec ses chansons. Ma mère l'adore. Difficile de retenir ses larmes lorsqu'il dit: "Papa" à la fin. Daniel Guichard est un chanteur populaire dans le bon sens du terme ! Et il tourne encore ...
En plus du charisme naturel de DG, de sa voix particulière et de sa modestie aussi authentique que celle de Brassens, on peut ajouter sa beauté, la profondeur de son regard bleu, il etait absolument craquant et pour l'avoir vu dans une vidéo récente, il est toujours aussi mignon, il vieillit très lentement et son aura est toujours la même, un mélange de tendresse, d'humour et de joie tranquille.
Très belle chanson.
glad you are anjoying this sad classic french song
@reactions by D - not jewish for not having TV but just not enough cash to buy Tv set. at that time only a few people in France could avoid to buy TV sets
Cette chanson a été écrite par Michelle Senlis et composée par Jean Ferrat en 1962 à cette époque en France il y avait peu de poste de télévision, une télévion qui été en Noir et blanc et ou il y avait 1 seule chaine et qui n'émettez pas en continue.
Très belle musique de J.Ferrat, on reconnaît sa "patte" dans la composition.
Love this song. This song and "Avec le temps" by Leo Ferré are two instant "tear droppers" for me.
It is a nice song and sung without theatrical but just delivered as is … raw reality.
A beautiful song that says it all about the passing of time and how we never enjoy the time we have with the people we love enough.
I lost my father when I was 3, this song always make me cry, even if I wasn't even born when it has been released.
I have cried of course… as usual.
The D of Guichard is silent.
Greetings from France 🇫🇷
Touching song, my favorite from Daniel Guichard actually... merci pour cette réaction 😊
The period of chilhood he describes was the beginning of TV's in each home; It was very expensive, and we had few channels. I was born 2 years after this song, and it was still a privilège to have a TV, we children didn't have the right to watch it all day long...
Quand le mot "variétoche" et la télé ont tué l'appréciation des textes...
Very mythic emotional song here.
oui les snobs qui ont le contrôle des choses...
2:34 "Pas la télé" In my mother's village, my grand parents where the first ones to own a television.
I was born in 83, and we only had 4 channels ! 😅 (and the first computer in 86)
You understand a nice bit of french I see. And yes, this song is a tear-jerker first class.
yes in france we have some sort of "causual" speech and when we said " mon vieu" we are speaking of our father, we CAN say " ma vieille" for our mother too but use it less we mostly said "ma mère" we too have some " familliar" way to speak of these too "maman" for mother (you can translate it in " mommy" in english) and "papa" for the father ( you can translate it as " daddy")! for exemple if we said "mon vieu est revenu de l'hospital hier!" you can translate it as " my old man came back from the hospital yesterday!"
What marvelous texts!
thank you for revealing old french songs, like this one, that are anchored in my hearth. It amazes me how much these lyrics resonate with what miss the most in our times.
I can't listen to this song without crying. for 30 years.
Toute une époque ! Mais c'était tout à fait ça... Nostalgie quand tu nous tiens! J'avais 20 ans et j'avais encore mon père. Il me manque.
Belle chanson et belle voix 💜
This song will forever give me goosebumps. My papa is still alive, he's not perfect but he's trying his hardest. Dédicace à toi papa, je sais que tu aimes cette chanson !
J'adore ce que vous faites, bravo!
Music to Jean Ferrat, lyrics to Daniel Guichard ! Masterpiece
Don't worry, I will translate further.
Il est très plaisant d'entendre un Américain apprécier une chanson française qui, il est vrai, est magnifique. Il faut comprendre aussi qu'en' France, longtemps, Daniel Guichard a été traité un peu comme un beauf. Il n'a jamais trop aimé le milieu du show-business. Il se déplace en camping-car et aime manger du thon en boîte. Forcément, ce n'est pas un chanteur glamour. Pour autant, c'est un vrai poète qui a écrit de très belles chansons comme "la tendresse" ou celle-ci a propos de son père, des papas en général.
C'est chouette de le mettre en avant. Merci.
Actuelly, i'm not gonna translate this. "Beauf" means some how "red neck". I just say that Daniel Guichard as been treated like a "has-been" (we use this expression in french) for many years in our country. He travel in mobile-home, enjoy simple things (where have they gone ?) so... he never been considered like how he always been : a good guy.
J'adore cette triste chanson, depuis toute petite je l'écoute 😢
bonjour merci d'apprécier ce type de chanson car elle rappelle certains passé surtout pour les plus de 50 ans :)
Sad song because it makes us remember at that time it was harder but good things were double good and makes us renember the most important: say I love you to people you love, you will regret if you haven't done...
I miss you dad and mom
Ma chanson préférée une vrai œuvre. Un bel hommage à son papa.et a tous les papas et aux grands pères 🎉à travers le monde .merci pour ce partage
La chanson préférée de MR ALAIN DELON💜💜💜
2:35 In France, the TV was not something common and cheap, in early 60's. The tv became more common after the 70's.
I was born in 1974, my parents get only the old black and white tv post from my grand-pa.
Oh, and yes, Mon Vieux (My old man) is an ancient way in street language to say My Dad. This song is about his dad. a very sad song. a love letter to his gone dad.
un chanteur fabuleux et cette chanson me touche énormément, car c'est mots pour mots la vie de mon papa et de ma jeunesse sur paris ou mon vieux partait le matin très tôt avec son par dessus rapé...
A great song which will be always current. The particular relation between a dad and his son. I lived it as millions of boys became men and older....
Merci Daniel and thanks D.
in french "mon vieux" means for a boy his dad. It is familiar to speak about his dad after 14 years old, to the other, but not disrespectful.
Great song
Love your reactions
J'espère que tu vas continuer tu es une bonne personne 🙏
C'est une des plus jolies chansons françaises des années 70. Sa voix est profonde et nous transporte vers l'émotion. Après je suis plus rock'n roll, mais c'est indéniablement le genre de chansons qui vous touche, même si je n'aimais pas mon père!
Merci Thank you for your interest for french melodies and its heartbreaking lyrics😮
One of the best French song, you have to listen "Les vieux mariés" de Michel Sardou
Hi,
When you heard the phrase "there was no TV in our house", you asked yourself: why are you Jewish?"
No, that has nothing to do with it.
In France, televisions came very late to modest homes.
The French began to be interested in television at the time of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II of England.
The French were in number in front of the TV sales stores to watch this coronation. I saw videos and it was impressive.
France at the time was a country largely made up of workers and peasants.
I come from this environment and I am very proud of it!
In addition, TVs were extremely expensive.
At my parents' house, the first TV arrived when I was twelve (I was born in 1959) and it was a second-hand TV.
It took many years to be able to have a new color TV.
I think my family wasn't the only one.
And Daniel Guichard's family was simply not rich
when I was a young kid I used to go to my aunt's home to watch 'zorro' on her tv
@@itnow It's true that when the family wanted to watch a TV show they had to go to a relative's house.
I remember that my parents and I went from time to time to my father's friend's house to watch TV and I remember a soap opera that scared me: BELFEGOR.
And I was going to take refuge under the table.
Today that has changed a lot because I love science fiction and “horror” films.
(French here 😊), Daniel Guichard was a very famous singer during 70's, and this song particulary too, nostalgic one, about french education lower class model, the story about a family before the boom TV during 60's.This song is still a very popular old French song
MERCI!!!!!!
I cried the sh*t out.... a last... I wet my beard for good!!!
This react, moreover this song finally helped me mourn my recently lost father.
Those are true words I needed to hear, again but with circumpstances...
Thanx and cheers from Auvergne! ;*
Probably Daniel Guichard's most beautiful song. At his home, there was no television because, at the time, it was expensive. And he came from a modest working class. Don't miss these other songs "La tendresse", "Je t'aime tu vois", "Faut pas pleurer comme ça" and of course "Le gitan".
Very stirring song.
Magnifique chanson pour son père
Mon vieux = mon père ( my dad) chanson culte !!! Ty
Merci 🙏
Merci Monsieur.
