Belle et Sebastien

Re-worked theme from 'Belle et Sebastien' using original vocals from the tv series. A TV show I remember from my childhood I removed the guitar backing and added my own orchestration.
It's not perfect but my first attempt to do something like this.
Original arrangement by Daniel White, lyrics by Cécile Aubry, vocals: Mehdi El Glaoui

Here are the lyrics:
Belle, tu es si belle
Qu'en te voyant
Je t'ai aimée
Belle que j'aime tant
Depuis longtemps
Je t'attendais
Souviens-toi du temps où tu venais
Chaque soir pour me rencontrer
Tu passais si belle que j'en rêvais
Tu le sais, mon amie, je t'aimais
Belle, oh ma si Belle
Tu t'en allais, sans m'écouter
Belle je t'attendrai
Pendant longtemps
Tu es si belle
Belle que j'aime tant
Je t'attendrai
En te rêvant
Puis un jour, un jour tu passeras
Près de moi, la Belle tu viendra
Nous ferons alors si tu le veux
Ce jour là, le beau voyage à deux
Belle si tu le veux
Nous serons deux
Nous serons deux

I'm 58 years old. This...and Robinson Crusoe...reminds me of school summer holidays....kids tv in a morning, followed by Test Match cricket, with Richie Benaud and Jim Laker commentating...me & my bro would watch the first few overs, then go out and set up a wicket in the garden (usually the dustbin) and play cricket. Great days. I still pass that house now and think of those times.

[@BaddaBigBoom]

Ah, the Robinson Crusoe theme :-) And for me, The Aeronauts theme, Follyfoot ("Lightning Tree" - The Settlers) White Horses (Jackie Lee) and Magpie (Spencer Davis group) I'm thinking of making re-creations of those.

What a Blessing to have Met My Alchadaris Bell Baluka. I called Her Gem. 9 Pups to choose from! All trying to put their paws on my shoulders. All looked the same. But that one who stood and Just looked at me!. We both knew It had to Be Her I chose. Many tryed to steal Her,and I prayed God would Take Her, if anyone planned to . We walked and every few steps shed look me in the Eye to ask where we were Going,always walked just beside Me. I had 10 wonderful years with my Gem. (Beautiful Gem Pendent, ). My Best Friend , My God Send. Got me through some v lonely years. As did the Bell and sabastian films. I REMEMBER a man came running after us and was crying,and told me He Had 4 who pulled him on a slay, when He was a Boy. And we both remembered the Bell x Sabastian Films. Our Dogs do a Good Job getting us through this Wicked world. THEY ARE heavenly Dogs. So loving.

[@BaddaBigBoom]

You are most welcome. If it's of any use to you, if you have more tunes in your head that you cannot find, Google has a function where you just hit the microphone icon on Google on your phone, look to the bottom of the page and click "search for a song" then hum/whistle the song. I've found it to be very effective. You might have to give it more than one or two tries.

Believe me, I am. Precious moments and TV shows of this era are frozen in a time that belongs then and not now and I accept that as much as I accept that there are precious moments on THIS timeline. My childhood was in the 60-70s, some of it was good, but a lot was also pretty grim. That was then and this is now and I'm happy with that.

[@sidelima]

I watched this as a child in England in the early 70's and I didn't even remember this had existed and been so important to me until I found this some years ago. It was hidden in my memory, albeit in an intense and emotional corner, along with white horses, follyfoot and black beauty. Thank you so much.

Watched Belle & Sébastien 2nd series in the late 60s on B&W TV. The theme song 'L'oiseau' stuck with me for life, glad I rediscovered all this here on YT. It later became known that Bruno Victoire Polius from Les Poppys actually sang L'Oiseau, not Mehdi El Glaoui. Of course I was a huge fan of Les Poppys too and actually saw them live around 1969/1970, that was before I became a rocker lol.

That's the beauty of certain tunes and even smells they can stir up emotions in you and Zap you back to that certain time

[@lilariosperrin4371]

@KG UK What you say is true, and it's really sad. Kids at my school weren't raised as I was, they are materialistic and disconnected from reality. You know, it's all about how the parents raise the child. I'm 14 and both my parents made sure that my childhood wasn't spent watching stupid tv shows that kids nowadays watch. Thay made me developed a love for literature from a young age. I watched all the same movies and series my parents watched when they were kids. And I spend most of my time playing outdoors. We didn't even have a tv for a long time, we watched movies on an old computer. Honestly, I completely agree with you. It's really sad. (if there are spelling mistakes I'm really sorry I'm not a native English speaker)

[@marie-francemasmonteil1684]

Une nouvelle série fait jour avec un petit garçon qui va incarner Sébastien... récemment j'ai lu l'histoire de Medhi, sa vie après le décès de son père, le conflit avec sa mère ; il y a eu de la souffrance car il a commencé très tôt et c'était surtout sa mère qui était omniprésente, une "vraie lionne", tel est son signe. Mais c'est bien une des rares chanson (générique) qui me fait monter les larmes aux yeux. Certes, le nouvel enfant est très mignon et il sera bien guidé par Medhi, mais si jamais ce dernier me lit, qu'il sache que jamais plus je n'ai retrouvé la même émotion en écoutant la voix du petit garçon qu'il était alors, et en suivant la série où à chaque fois son magnifique visage apparaissait, un rien ténébreux par moment, dans ses expressions, ajoutant à son charme, et si pur ! Un ensemble absolument irrésistible, envoûtant, oui, j'ose le dire, sans parler de "Belle". Aussi, j'allais dire, je comprends et rends hommage à sa mère : non, l'adolescence, ce n'est pas un passage facile, justement pour la vedette qu'il était devenu, mais de l'extérieur on peut s'imaginer le contraire... en tout cas, je ne pourrai pas regarder la nouvelle série, impossible, c'est sûr !

Perso j'ai aujourd'hui 17 ans & grâce a mes parents Belle et Sebastien a fait partie de mon enfance. Beaucoup d'émotion quand j'écoute cette chanson et l'oiseau. Medhi était vraiment trop mignon. :) ♥.

I’m sure this is the show that made me into a dog loving person. I cried every time I heard the song and saw Belle but I would not miss the BBC broadcast for anything!

Glad I was not the only one ;-)

ohhh so nice to hear it again after many years

Wow I just listentened to the Belle and Sebastian theme tune for the first time since I was a little girl over 50 years ago, I had tears in my eyes as i I never forgot that haunting tune I loved so much as a child and have sang it in my head ever since. It was my favourite program which had such an impact on me, I used to wear my scarf the same way as Sebastian did an thought him to be wonderful and his idyllic life with the beautiful Belle. It felt amazing as I was transported back to the house where I lived with my Mam and Dad who have recently both passed away and they were such happy carefree days I would give anything to return to. Thank you for putting this on You Tube. I will be listening very frequently now I have discovered it.

You are most welcome. It had that effect on me too, that's what inspired me to reconstruct this with my own (hopefully) sensitive backing. My Mum (recently gone) always remembered the opening voice over thinking Cécile was saying: "...and the dog ...Clonky" which became a bit of a family joke. Of course, the dog IRL was "Flanker" (pronounced "flonkey" ...not "Clonky!")
