Autumn Leaves - A popular song and jazz standard by Belinda Vermeer

Subscribe - bit.ly/3Dt7TWT
"Autumn Leaves" is a popular song and jazz standard composed by Joseph Kosma in 1945 with original lyrics by Jacques Prévert in French (original French title: "Les Feuilles Mortes"), and later by Johnny Mercer in English. An instrumental version by pianist Roger Williams was a number one best-seller in the US Billboard charts of 1955.
Kosma was a native of Hungary who was introduced to Prévert in Paris. They collaborated on the song Les Feuilles mortes ("The Dead Leaves") for the 1946 film Les Portes de la nuit (Gates of the Night) where it was sung by Irène Joachim. The poem was published, after the death of Jacques Prévert, in the book "Soleil de Nuit" in 1980. Kosma was influenced by a piece of ballet music, "Rendez-vous" written for Roland Petit, performed in Paris at the end of the Second World War, which was itself borrowed partially from "Poème d'octobre" by Jules Massenet. The first commercial recordings of "Les Feuilles mortes" were released in 1950, by Cora Vaucaire and by Yves Montand. Johnny Mercer wrote the English lyric and gave it the title "Autumn Leaves". Mercer was a partner in Capitol Records at the time, and Capitol recording artist Jo Stafford made the first English-language recording in July, 1950.
As a jazz standard, "Autumn Leaves" has accumulated more than a thousand commercial recordings.
The song was recorded steadily throughout the 1950s by leading pop vocalists including Bing Crosby (1950), Nat King Cole (1955), Doris Day (1956), and Frank Sinatra (1957). It was also quickly adopted by instrumental jazz artists including Artie Shaw (1950), Stan Getz (1952), Erroll Garner and Ahmad Jamal (separately in 1955), Duke Ellington (1957), Cannonball Adderley and Miles Davis, and Vince Guaraldi (all 1958). Roger Williams made the song a number-one hit in the U.S. in 1955, the first piano instrumental to reach number one.
Accompanied by Jan Willem Hoekstra I performed the song live in a theatre in The Hague, The Netherlands.

作詞：Johnny Mercer 作曲：Joseph Kosma
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winters song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winters song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

🇺🇦 Знайди мене
Знайди мене у цім шаленім світі,
Хоча б на мить, що вічністю стає.
Знайди мене в осіннім верховітті,
Знайди мене таку, яка я є.
І буду я пересипати ніжність
З пожовклим листом у свою любов.
І буду я благословляти вічність
Збагрянених незайманих дібров.
І буду я пересипати ніжність
З пожовклим листом у твою любов.
І будеш ти благословляти вічність,
В якій мене хоча б на мить знайшов.

The falling leaves/ drift by my window
The autumn leaves /of red and gold
I see your lips, /the summer kisses
The sunburned hands/ I used to hold
Since you went away, / days grow longer
And soon I'll hear /old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, /
my darling
When autumn leaves / start to fall
Instrument
Since you went away,/ days grow longer
And soon I'll hear / old winter's song
But I miss you most of all, /
my darling
When autumn leaves / start to fall
Yes, I miss you
my darling
When autumn leaves / start to fall
