about

Although Anne Sylvestre never reached the same level of fame as her contemporary Barbara, she can easily be regarded as one of the most successful female writers of French poetic song in a scene dominated by men.

She too carried the scars of war, her father being a collaborator with the nazi regime during the occupation of France. While her sister Marie Chaix wrote a book about her father’s role during the war, Anne put her energy in writing chansons. She wrote about many topics; hardship and injustice, but her romantic songs might be the fairest of them all.

‘Si la pluie te mouille’ is a chanson of incredible beauty both in melody and in words. You can tell that it was written with much love, wit and compassion, playfully and tenderly soothing the worries of young love…

lyrics

Si la pluie te mouille

Mon amour nouveau

Si la pluie te mouille

N'aie pas peur de l'eau

Tu te fais grenouille

Mon amour tout beau

Et la pluie vadrouille

Le long de ton dos


Si le vent t'évente

Mon amour léger

Si le vent t'évente

Ce n'est pas un danger

En feuille volante

Tu peux te changer

En feuille mouvante

Sans te déranger



Si la nuit te cache

Mon si clair amour

Si la nuit te cache

Reviendra le jour

Rompons nos attaches

Prenons ce détour

Qui déjà nous lâche

Dans le petit jour

Et si l'amour passe

Mon amour têtu

Et si l'amour passe

À cœur-que-veux-tu

Lui ferons la chasse

Et c'est bien couru

Un amour tenace

N'est jamais perdu



Si la pluie te mouille

Mon amour nouveau

Si la pluie te mouille

Ce n'est que de l’eau
