This is Lara Fabian. She absolutely has one of the best voices in the industry. This is an incredible song, especially at the very end. I hope you enjoy it.
Here are some of her other music videos:
Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
An incredible performance
Magnificent!
Wow! She’s absolutely amazing.
maybe it was, don’t really know as I could not understand any of the words
David
absolutely amazing performance!!
One of my favourite singers.
Her dramatic version of “je suis malade” makes me forget Dalida’s version or even that of the man who wrote the song, Serge Lama.

Plus the “En toute intimité” DVD!
And the one where the audience sings back to her “je t’aime” (on “Nue 2002” DVD)…reminds me of Mariza crying whilst singing “Oh gente da minha terra”

“Comme d’habitude” sung by Claude Francois and which Paul Anka transmuted into “My Way” (Sinatra’s signature song) is also interesting…as is the Shirley Bassey’s take on a transposition of Brel’s “Ne Me Quitte Pas”, “If you go away”…
I don’t understand all the words either but then music universally, who does – even in anyone’s native tongue?
Much of opera that we love, of songs of other languages, of people who like songs in english (even if they don’t speak english)…plus the lyric translation sites…makes the global more so.

I do not dream any more
I do not smoke any more
I do not have even any more history
I am alone without you
I am ugly without you
I am Like orphan in a dormitory
I do not want any more
Of living my life
My life ceases when you leave
I do not have any more life
And even my bed
Transforms itself into quay of station
When you from go away…
I am sick
Completely sick
As when my mother left the evening
And that it leaving me only with my despair
I am sick
Perfectly sick
Arrive to you one never knows when
You set out again one never knows where
And that will make soon two years
That you of insane…
As with a rock
As with a sin
I am fixed on you
I am tired, I am exhausted
To make pretence be happy
When they are there
I drink every night
even all whiskies
For me have the same taste
And all boats
Carry your flag
I do not know any more where to go you are everywhere…
I am sick
Completely sick
I pour my blood in your body
And I am like a dead bird
When you you sleep
I am sick
Perfectly sick
You deprived to me of all my songs
You emptied me of all my words
However me I had talent
Before your skin…
This love kills to me
If that continues
I will only burst with me
Like an idiotic kid
Close to my radio
by listening to my own voice which will sing…
I am sick
Completely sick
As when my mother left the evening
And that it only left me with my despair
I am sick
it is that I am sick
You deprived to me of all my songs
You emptied me of all my words
And I have the completely sick heart
Encircled barricades
Hear you… I am sïck…

Thinking of Lara Fabian, one suddenly thinks of other dramatic singers, writers (Lionel Florence’s “Guerir” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1DeAdMs9Ok as sung by Florent Pagny) and really cool, eclectic stuff on Jools Holland show 🙂

This is Adagio live in italian on a french tv variety show from ’99.
She’s easily my favorite female singer.
Great stuff. Thanks for the tip, Susan.
I, eh, I am not sure that I should say this, but eh, I like Lady Gaga better! 😛 (yeah, I know… I am a barbarian and probably a bad person with poor taste too!)
I like this very old recording of Jussi Bjorling btw… his voice blows me away. Oeh! 🙂
