Bohémienne (English) - The Bohemienne song

French video with English dubbing.
Esmeralda: Helene Segara (voice: Tina Arena)
Song taken from London cast CD
My mother told me tales of Spain, I think that's where she longed to be.
Of mountain bandits she once sang, Andalusia's memory.
There in the mountains she was free, my mother, father all are gone.
And I've made Paris be my home.
I dream of oceans rolling on, they take my heart where I must come.
Andalusia mountain home.
Bohemienne.
No one knows where my story begins.
Bohemienne.
I was born on a road that bends.
Bohemienne, bohemienne.
Come tomorrow, I'll wander again.
Bohemienne, bohemienne.
Here's my fate in the lines of my hand.
When I was a child in Provence, Bare foot in the hills I danced once.
But the gypsy road is so long, the roads so long.
Everyday I see a new chance, maybe some road will lead from France.
I will follow till I come home, Till I come home.
Andalusia's streams, run through my blood, run through my daydreams.
Andalusia's sky, when it calls me, I feel my heart fly.
Bohemienne.
No one knows where my story begins.
Bohemienne.
I was born on a road that bends.
Bohemienne, bohemienne.
Come tomorrow I'll wander again.
Bohemienne, bohemienne.
Here's my fate in the lines of my hand.
Here's my fate in the lines of my hands.

Love for this song forever.

[@whocaresidontfuckoff]

i like tina arena voice, and this song is good. Stop hatin..

[@thetarantella69]

I watched the London production, awesome and I'm trying to practice my French with the French version

[@darkangelw8472]

I watch the musical i London, beautiful

[@RegretfulGreedler]

Maybe, but the lyrics aren't the singer's fault. She possesses an incredible talent, and I actually really like her voice. I think the whole "I was born on a road that bends" line may suggest that her life isn't ever really constant, being a gypsy. She has to be on the move constantly, never with a straightforward plan in mind, hence being born on a winding path rather than a straight one.

[@TheUsedAngel]

i love that you post these in english because they're hard to find. Although I love the french version the best. Thanks!!

[@jenilly20]

I love Tina's voice !! It's different from the french version, but not less good!

[@0Immortelle0]

it's not stupid at all, very dymanic and beautiful song!

[@Tallonest]

J'adore la version francaise...mais je pense que Tina a un bon voix aussi.

[@crazybunnylady]

Voice wise, I prefer Tina over Helena. Her voice sounds younger and more innocent and that fits better with Esmeralda's character (remember, she's supposed to be 16! and her age is actually a key thing in the story.)

[@iluvhopndballet]

well ive got the cd! English version starring tina arena and garou (esmeralda and quasimodo respectively)!

[@TwilightGeisha]

I couldn't agree with you more

[@longman718]

She is preety good. 5 stars.

[@Muartua97]

I Like this version *-* But I still prefer the italian one... ^^

[@inlovewithJLT]

@ShatteredxSpiritx This isn't a "cover", really, it's the original London cast recording.

[@angelgurl10145]

i really like this one

[@Deivan_]

Really???? Oh Gosh!! There isn't writen on the description! By the description: French video with English dubbing. Esmeralda: Helene Segara (voice: Tina Arena) Song taken from London cast CD

[@crazyloverofcats]

@msxxaliciaxxj I agree perfectly. This version is nice, but the French version is so much more beautiful, not to mention it sounds better in French!

[@0Immortelle0]

nevertheless i like Tina Arena and think she is one of the best to my mind=))everyone is good by some thing=)

[@MartinaValsassina27]

@BlackMambaKillsBill The Italian versione's the best!!! Zigara, a nessuno io parlo di me... zingara, zingara... la mia mano sa tutto... di me!! and then i'm italian^^ I love sing the italian version! Maybe i'ts for that that i love my langue version:D

[@borgianaotem]

Maravilhoso! Seria perfeito a ópera completa em mix.

[@firestar54]

I love this video! But do you have a video of the dialogue between Phoebus and Esmerelda before she starts singing the Bohemienne song?

[@0Immortelle0]

is it so important?i think in some pieces it's pretty dynamic,moving like i would like to dance to this song, if Ave Maria is queit, calm this is pretty dynamic from 2:44 to my mind!And sound is like become stronger and stronger it's not only about beauty but about rhythm too!Anyway i feel like that.Especially it's in russian versions(they are more passionate)

[@gwenguan3068]

Why so few people here ？？？it’s a pity

[@19Kuremansu]

La version française de "Bohémienne" est plus jolie à entendre que celle en anglais. =/

[@inlovewithJLT]

@ShatteredxSpiritx Which is why I said "original London cast" not "original cast". It's not a cover; no one ever performed this song in English making Tina's performance the original. When it comes to casts in musicals, it's not a cover when a new performer takes on the role.

[@0Immortelle0]

and may be if u saw like Svetlana Svetikova dances or Diana Saveleva u would agree coz Helena is just walking and so does Lola

[@ShatteredxSpiritx]

@inlovewithJLT The french cast was the original, to be exact, and I feel that there is not enough emotion in her voice.

[@2emma1]

Tina a une voix magnifique mais la version francaise est bien meilleure.

[@rainbowrooster13]

don't forget the Korean version:)

[@sawsan5455]

Does anyone know where I can watch the whole show but in English ?

[@iluvhopndballet]

thats not the actress singing in english its Tina Arena cause ive got the cd!

[@Foloalin]

@Starlight007 HI:) Could you please tell me where did you get thses songs in english version??I couldnt find the english version CD everywhere!!I even checked the UK amazon!:(( It would help a lot if you can tell me where to buy or find these songs.And I'd like to know the casts in London version too!!Hope you can help me:( Thanks a lot:))

[@Kludis]

The French version is realy better in spite of I dont understand french nothing.

[@Nana1990sama]

Prefiero la italiana, pero la voz en ingles me gusta mucho. Es una lastima que al no ser una lengua romance (como el italiano, el español, el frances) no pueda ponerse a la altura de estas versiones, pero la verdad es que la voz es preciosa. Simplemente, el idioma no casa mucho con la historia, a pesar de que el inglés me encanta. La voz expresa mucho mas que la francesa de todos modos, pero claro ese es el talon de aquiles de esa version: la interpretación es muy mala, no dice nada.

[@glorialucia]

im a fanatic if the show... I your stating what I already know... thank you What I DONT know xD is if it's tour at all now or anytime soon? anwers anyone????

[@maryg12121985]

@miar0xurj0x it's tina arena !

[@Livelovecherishelife]

Would be nice to have the english lyrics

[@lauras.3863]

I still prefer the Italian version, but the English version is SO much better than the French one. I don't know how some people say that Tina has no expression. I didn't see the video because I couldn't find it, but it gave me chills just listening to her voice. On the other hand, I tried more than once to watch the French version, but I never got past the third song. It was too painful and awkward to watch. The singers (especially Helene) have no expression and they don't know how to move on stage (although they all have marvelous voices).

[@knjohns123]

anyone know where you can get this song? for download? or purchase?

[@knjohns123]

thanks but its all in Russian can't read it..

[@trismegistus4700]

knjohns123 a little late, but you can just search "KZbin MP3" and find a website you can plug the KZbin link into and it will convert to an MP3 file.

[@rainbowrooster13]

and korean

[@alebormio4842]

Not bad, but the best Esmeralda is Alessandra Ferrari

[@glorialucia]

thanks for trying but this is actually the french video lol

[@EleNorash]

italians!!!

[@ragnettopaladino]

fantastica voce questa tina arena. peccato solo che è stata montata sulle immagini francesi, dato che a livello interpretativo sono i meno riusciti... l'unica cosa buona della versione francese erano proprio le voci, dato che questo è un doppiaggio sarebbe stato meglio scegliere la versione che dava di più in espressività (italiano e coreano, a mio parere...!)

[@LadyQGinny]

One of the best song translated among the english versions. They raped "Belle", but this one is very beautiful in english.

[@finagledpixel5688]

Thinking I'm clicking on the French version, and having a skin crawl to the poor translation.

[@TwilightGeisha]

I don't understand French either.

[@AnaVonSlyth]

it's english, obvious

[@jaimekstillo1]

it would be good if the costume for esmeralda was as a rea lgypsy girl, i don't lke her dress, she looks like a woman who sings, i don't see a gypsy girl singing, but good voice

[@bhayatte5113]

Jaime Antonio Castillo Chavez But Esmeralda IS dancer in original story……

[@ShatteredxSpiritx]

Clearly not

[@ShatteredxSpiritx]

That doesn't even make sense! Look, if you like this version, that's fine, but I prefer the other version.

[@nattybrown]

The french version is way better! Some of this doesnt even make sense- "I was born on a road that bends" really???? And Helene Segaras voice is better than Tina Arenas!

[@ShatteredxSpiritx]

I like the french version better- I am sorry, but while this cover has a beautiful voice, she has absolutely no emotion in her voice at all- it seems so determined to hit the notes the words lose their meaning...

[@glorialucia]

dont forget spanish :)

[@rosamirafly]

@jae149 I agree, her voice is OK, but she's NOTHING like Helene Segara.. not even close..

[@PoisonedTongue]

The translation is wrong. Very, very wrong. They changed it so it'd rhyme. The French version is so much better.
