I'm sure you're aware that it's entirely a matter of personal taste, but one of my personal all-time favourites is Eric Clapton - Layla. Have you heard of the site last.fm?

Lili Marlene - An Addendum | Jul 6, 2009 |
Regarding Lili Marlene, which I have included in my list, I was surprised to see there is a French version - you may prefer this, as I noticed you work with French translation. As I am sure some of our younger ProZians may never have heard of the song (although Carly Simon did record it) here are the words in English, German and French: ENGLISH: Underneath the lantern, By the barrack gate Darling I remember The way you used to wait T...

Il me semble entendre ton pas Et je te serre entre mes bras |: Lily...Lily Marlène :| Apparently this song, a poem by Hans Liep put to music by Norbert Schultze, has been translated into 48 languages, including Russian, Italian and Hebrew.
