Hi all
I heard on the radio this morning that Patrick Juvet who covered '"Only Women Bleed" with french words (not a translation, completely different lyrics) died yesterday.
You can hear his version here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioc2VoCUyps
Intersting anecdote, as his cover was available very soon after WTMN, when I heard the beginning of the song on the TV from another room, I ran to the living room thinking it was Alice singing the original. Until I saw him and heard the lyrics. What a surprise ! And somewhat of a disappointment too, but that was before I began to enjoy as many covers as possible of the music I like.
RIP Patrick

R.I.P. Patrick Juvet.
Re: J'ai peur de la nuit
I'm afraid you're right, but it comes from the French artist or record company it is probably a mistake a not intentional, as they credited AliceRailwayman wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 9:40 amWhat's with the credits ..... shouldn't Dick Wagner be on there ?
Unlike this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-rHDXjkVSE which was a little more than "inspired" by one of the greatest AC songs, and where all the credit was given to Eddie Vartan, don't you think?

Inspired cover. RIP Patrick Juvet
The vocal arrangement & meter are very similar.
Is there a translation? My French is over 30yrs. unused.

"Me croiras-tu dis
Si je te dis
Que comme un enfant
Je crie la nuit ?
Tous mes vieux fantômes
Viennent me pleurer
Une chanson que
J'avais oubliée
Je les vois qui ouvrent ma porte
Ma mère me crie que tout ça n'est rien
J'ai peur de la nuit
J'ai peur de la nuit
J'ai peur de la nuit
M'en voudras-tu dis
Si je te raconte
Les poings et la
Fièvre qui me montent ?
Ces méchants rêves
Font partie de ma vie
Je ne peux te demander
De les partager aussi
Ils griffent les murs de ma chambre
Je sais qu'ils viennent séparer nos mains
J'ai peur de la nuit
J'ai peur de la nuit
J'ai peur de la nuit
J'ai peur
Petite soeur
Du jour qui meurt
Des nuits sans coeur
Je t'en prie
Sois près d'ici
Quand j'aurai peur
De la nuit
J'ai peur de la nuit
J'ai peur de la nuit
J'ai peur de la nuit
Oh, j'ai peur de la nuit
J'ai peur de la nuit
J'ai peur de la nuit
J'ai peur de la nuit"
...through Google Translate comes up with:
"Will you believe me say
If I tell you
That like a child
Do I scream at night?
All my old ghosts
Come cry to me
A song that
I had forgotten
I see them opening my door
My mother screams at me that this is nothing
I'm afraid of the night
I'm afraid of the night
I'm afraid of the night
Will you blame me
If I tell you
Fists and
Fever that rises to me?
These wicked dreams
Are part of my life
I can't ask you
To share them too
They scratch the walls of my room
I know they come to part our hands
I'm afraid of the night
I'm afraid of the night
I'm afraid of the night
I'm afraid
Little sister
Of the day that dies
Heartless nights
You're welcome
Be near here
When I'm afraid
Of the night
I'm afraid of the night
I'm afraid of the night
I'm afraid of the night
Oh I'm afraid of the night
I'm afraid of the night
I'm afraid of the night
I'm afraid of the night"
People try to put us down
Just because we get around
Just because we get around
