"Je ne veux pas travailler" by Pink Martini

I wish you love...

How I found this song.

This song...I remember hearing this song many years ago in a movie by Arron Kwok and Kelly Chan...

Suddenly cannot remember the tune...but remember vividly in my mind...it was a lovely song.

I google it...and found the movie, "And I Hate you so", search in youtube for the movie...
Watched the last part...and I was lucky to have english subtitle for the movie in youtube...
Got the lyrics for the song...

Google for the title of the song...

And got..."I wish you love".

A classic song...
As it turns out...according to wikipedia...tons of singers sang this song before throughout the years...

Frank Sinatra, Laura Fygi, Natalie Cole, Nat King Cole, Lisa Ono...Rachael Yamagata...etc...

The music was written by Léo Chauliac, with French lyrics under the title "Que reste-t-il de nos amours?" by Charles Louis Trenet.

The English title and lyrics are by Albert A. Beach.


It was a sad song, I have to say...

It makes me sad...listening to it.

But I like it.

"I wish you love..." by Rachael Yamagata

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love

And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
And more than wealth
I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love

But most of all when snowflakes fall
I wish you love.
