LYRICS (French / English)
Je me souviens pas / I don’t remember
Du moment précis / The precise moment
À Cabo / In Cabo
Sur une plage grise / On a gray beach
Les vagues s’écrasant / The waves crashing
Sous un soleil flou / Under a blurred sun
Et toi mon amour impassible / And you, my impassive love
Rien à dire sauf ce qu’on dit toujours / Nothing to say except what they always say
Au revoir, bon retour / Farewell, safe travels
Je me souviens pas / I don’t remember
Du moment précis / The precise moment
À Cabo / In Cabo
Une baleine surgit / A whale emerges
Y’a quelque chose / There’s something
Qui se réveille en nous / That awakens in us
Mais toi mon coeur inconsolable / But you, my inconsolable heart
Tu t’intéresses peu au sable je sais / You take little interest in the sand, I know
Au revoir, bon retour / Farewell, safe travels
Je me souviens pas / I don’t remember
Du moment précis / The precise moment
À Cabo / In Cabo
Les étoiles scintillent / The stars sparkle
Et moi je danse / And me, I dance
Pressée contre ton cou / Pressed against your neck
Hélas mon amour délassé / Alas, my love relieved
Rien à dire alors on se tait / Nothing to say so we’re silent
Tant mieux / All the better
Au revoir, bon retour / Farewell, safe travels

So glad someone brought a flugelhorn.

[@goodnightmr5892]

Did you just call my trombone a flugelhorn? Blasphemous! 😂❤❤❤😂

[@goodnightmr5892]

Chuck Mangione approves this message!

[@tubeWyrme]

Beautiful song and thank you for subtitling!

[@raymond5008]

Et moi je danse 🕺

[@matthear]

Me too! Happy to be of service.

[@andrewmcfarlane6934]

This feels like classic Pomplamoose in all the best ways with a new twist. Love this so much, so happy for you guys.

[@Pomplamoose]

Thank you for saying that, Andrew. ❤

[@Kniightisa]

Exactly my thoughts as well. Instant classic.

[@schuepbachr]

I agree! The videosong format returns- if you hear it, at some point you'll see it. :) Love the sound, too. Lovely song.

[@swonic]

yes, not only the video song format also the video song song returns! awesome. love it!

[@osamucabral]

Thats EXATLY what I felt. I`'m a fan since 2010

[@ranshin_]

Wouldn't define it that much as a bossa but you all pass the vibe check. Man this new wave of alternative jazz, indie, pop, swing, funk etc. is so cute.

[@JoshTurnerGuitar]

Love that the video edit here feels like vintage Pomplamoose. Love the slick, polished stuff, but the extremely high effort DIY feel is always the most Pomplamoose to me. Great tune and beautiful production as well!

[@omearam]

You deserve the same praise, Josh!

[@EriksPlace]

Didn't know Josh was a Pomplamoose fan. Huh!

[@melissal2772]

This reminds me of returning home to a seaside home, bags in hand, greeting the friends you remember and meeting those you will.

[@Smo1k]

Funny, out on my bike in traffic not 30mins ago, I was thinking "The world needs more bossa!" 😎

[@Pomplamoose]

MORE. BOSSA.

[@cooldebt]

I used to be embarrassed that I liked 'elevator music' but between this exquisite piece and the bossanova vgm covers by The Consouls which all the kids seem to love, I no longer need to hide my love of bossa!

[@Smo1k]

@@cooldebt There's nothing guilty about taking pleasure in a good bossa 😉

[@jeremyfagen]

the vibes are immaculate

[@meta4972]

C'est léger, envoûtant, ça donne envie de danser et ça sent les vacances. Merci !!! 🌞

[@rockestee]

Wow that intro is inspired Jack. Love how it came out! ( short watcher here!) Nataly this just grooves at the perfect pace!!! The horn is perfect call back to my youth ( 1970s) al hirt and the backing vox too. I love this song! It offers SO MUCH interest. So much to enjoy…. Thanks for the anniversary present! We will re listen on our way out, this is perfect for us today!!! Such A MOOD………

[@Pomplamoose]

Woot so glad you liked it!! And thanks for watching the shorts, we're having a lot of fun with those. Happy anniversary!

[@rockestee]

@@Pomplamoose oh thank you! We danced to it after many replays! Oh it is perfect! My better half is saying “it’s one of our songs now!“ 🥹🩷👏

[@roscoehammersmith]

How many people d'ya think know who Al Hirt is? Probably just us two. Great tune though. Love Nataly, she's a card.

[@rockestee]

@@roscoehammersmith 🤣

[@maldridge]

This is... listen I've been making music for more decades than my wife will sanction me to admit... but this is why we make music... it's - you know - simply beautiful and uplifting and reminiscent of a feeling that we have when music touches us but that is also impossible to name. And the sensation creates a feeling that you are closely connected emotionally and personally to the wonderful, generously spirited people who are making these lovely sounds... they are your friends... even though you don't know them. Thank you Pomplamoose for keeping on keeping on. You are doing something that REALLY matters.

[@billyte1265]

The editing was great! Just so much well timed context

[@floridaflamingogirl3119]

What a brilliant work of genre bending. Classic French folk mixed with insane Conte melodic progression sorcery. And a punchy horn solo.

[@doublevitrage410]

Classic French folk ? What do you mean it's bossa nova

[@christopher-wolter]

Quelle belle surprise Pomplamoose ! Cette chanson est une brise d'été rafraîchissante qui mêle le charme de la bossa nova et une touche française. Merci pour ce moment de joie musicale. Long live la bossa nova! 🍹🏖💃

[@AmaXOnline]

T'écouter chanter en français me fait encore plus fondre que les températures saisonnières... ❤

[@ReynaldReims]

Natalie, ton français sonne mieux que celui de la plupart de mes compatriotes! Et entendre des incroyables musiciens qui, en plus, prennent un énorme plaisir a jouer ensemble au point que ça s'entend, que peux-t-on demander de plus? Ah si!... Juste que vous continuiez comme ça! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@roytee3127]

Nataly lived in France and Belgium as a child. And she's kept her pronunciation.

[@ReynaldReims]

@@roytee3127 Yes I know! But nothing forced her to love the language and its sound to the point of making albums directly in French!

[@colenip5384]

This will be my new favourite song for at least 1 week

[@VdFCatLord]

Excellente, cette Bossa française. Merci beaucoup pour tout ce que vous faites. Ça me met toujours un sourire sur le visage. 🥰

[@francoisewolfe5072]

Moi aussi!❤️

[@esaurnberg1651]

Im so glad KZbin requested this video. Never heard this band before, only band I will listen today

[@David_Thompson]

. Love it - and it is very handy the subtitles are in English for those of us whose French is a little rusty! 💖

[@MADZIA0606]

*Excellent arrangement. I love the bossa nova rhythm*

[@rap33042]

I love you guys. You sure know how to put music together. Much fun to watch and listen. Thank you all for sharing your talent with the rest of us. The world is a better place because of you.

[@LILGOO34]

I have heard this man ask for an over the top romantic opening more than anything these past 2 weeks

[@derdoktor206]

Made me stoned giggle

[@ZachHall]

All the different instrumentation and video editing gave me big VideoSongs flash backs - full circle!

[@JeromeMoisand]

Whoever did the video editing did an AMAZING job, doing full justice to an absolutely lovely performance (as a side note, I was born in France, so I was able to fully appreciate the song!). Bravo!!

[@senorbe]

Not born in France (and my French is terrible) still able to appreciate the song. I agree with Jerome that the video editing was great, but I would also enjoy a video of Nataly walking by the shore in St Tropez in a 60's style collage

[@Pomplamoose]

Athena Wheaton did this incredible edit, and thank you for appreciating her genius.

[@Pomplamoose]

@@senorbe I would also enjoy walking by the shore in St Tropez. I should do that, video or no...

[@floridaflamingogirl3119]

I love how the different band members float by in squares at 1:39. Kind of a Brady Bunch effect.

[@ronlouie830]

Been so missing that voice and singing style! Maybe Nataly's been on other projects that I've missed, but glad to see her with Pomplamoose, in French. Snappy thing, but would also love covers from the contemporary French scene...not just Daft Punk🤣

[@Kerozen759]

Toujours de la bonne musique ! Bravo et merci !

[@HoldinContempt]

I was gonna make a cappuccino when I woke up but I had this instead.

[@SolairNova]

Un amour de chanson ! Si ça sort sur CD, je prends tout de suite !

[@paulEmotionalaudio]

What a perfect song to drop for my last night in Paris! So great to hear the culmination of your ideas… ❤❤

[@Pomplamoose]

Ooh I hope you had fun in Paris!! Glad we could enhance the mood on your last night.

[@floridaflamingogirl3119]

I didn't know it was possible for human beings to craft auditory texture so multilayered and lush and playful. It's like listening to a Cezanne or Monet painting.

[@ricomcsuave6348]

Delicious summer vay-cay vibes!! =D To many more hits!! 🍹=D

[@PicassosSister-rj5zp]

I love pomplamoose so much, your covers always do justice to the original, and your original music is commendable. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@JackTheSongman]

The past few months of behind-the-scenes studio session TikToks and Instagram Reels were definitely setting my expectations high for the new Pomplamoose record, and this first single completely delivers. What a treat! SO excited to hear whatever comes next!!

[@Thirteen..]

I love to listen more to her speaking eyes. Renditions are no doubt big still her polite expressions and tender gestures make the real vibes. ❤❤❤

[@fredericauger2436]

Wouah !! Super le titre ! Bravo pour les arrangements, les voix, le mix, bravo.

[@MorningDusk7734]

I had to come back because this song's been stuck in my head for the past week! That transition between the opening piano and guitar is so hooky!

[@xodiaq]

This meanders through so many side streets it’s wild. Everything is off the main song but all the subtle sound and instrument changes are really effective at changing scene.

[@floridaflamingogirl3119]

Exactly, I love how the melody keeps being recontextualized into different flavors.

[@floridaflamingogirl3119]

The energy of the video editing really immerses me in all the fun things happening in the studio.

[@CarlosdaSilveiraGooglePlus]

Glad to see you´re back! Trés bon!

I always thought Brazilian and French music were a CRAZY GOOD match! Awesome song guys!

[@oobihdahboobeeboppah]

It's said that it takes a village to raise a child [up well]. This beautiful song, like a precious child is nurtured by the members of this musically talented village. N & J, your music always surpasses my imagination!

Oh, that's lovely. Thank you!! ❤
