about

“Behind our home there is a mountain, me and my lover often climb it...” With her characteristic warmth and sensitivity of interpretation Julie Abbé skillfully transforms a well-known French bourrée into a soulful, romantic ballad by adding once-disappeared lyrics and changing the feel of the tune. The result is an irresistible moment of deep tenderness and spell-binding beauty that will make you want to discover more music by this emerging artist.

lyrics

Derrière chez nous 
Il y a une montagne
Moi et mon amant 
La montons bien souvent
En la montant mon Dieu qu’il y a de peine 
En descendant quel soulagement 

Dans mon jardin 
Le Rossignol chante
Chaque matin 
À la pointe du jour
Pour faire l’amour, il faut savoir le faire 
Très peu parler et beaucoup caresser

Derrière chez nous 
Il y a une fontaine 
Toute entourée 
De beaux lauriers d’amour
Allons-y donc ma charmante que j’aime 
Nous y prendrons les plaisirs les plus doux.
