Unbelievably lovely.
i love this song - probably only due to it's stunning interpretation. How she manages to adorn and elaborate on a simple melody like this, is a mystery to me.
I agree!!
She decorates it so gorgeously, and it's not overdone. Wow. Classy!!!
Okay be honest ... who came here after Arthur's route in Ikemen Vampire?
Me😂
bRo
MEEEEE
Meeee😂
Me 🙋♀️🤣
This interpretation makes the song surprisingly touching. Very well done.
This song has been included in every other school textbook and has been done to death so many times over the last 100 years that I didn't think it worth a second glance, and then I stumble across this clip. It's lovely. Well done Olivia. You've actually shown us what a great song this in fact is.
For Reals?
Thank you Thugs.
Elle touche mon coeur chaque fois j'écoute cette chanson. Sa voix est vraiment formidable!
Waw, chanté avec cet accent est très beau, merci quelle belle interprétation !
Keep coming here everyday... I guess I'll listen to this wonderful voice 'till I'm really sick of it! Hope it's as late as possible
Picard singing this as he lay dying is probably the most Picard thing ever.
I watched this clip first in 2010 and it still continues to amaze me. It is a very special rendition of a well known tune, "Aupres de ma blonde". The slight variance from the original makes this a stunning performance. Olivia Chaney and her extraordinary voice!
Back in 1962 at Greatstone road school in Stretford Manchester, our beautiful French teacher, sang this to us, and I instantly fell in love with her.
1960 in my primary school, i learnt this beautiful song,its still bring chill to my spine 58 yrs later
that was in FRENCH SPEAKING mAURITIUS WHICH MAKES THIS MUCH MORE POIGNANT
I can say the same. I heard this music for the first time in 1969 in French class in a public school in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. I didn't forget. I love the sound of french language.
Je ne me lasserait jamais de l ' entendre , elle est merveilleuse .
Ce sont des personnalités telles que la vôtre qui sauveront notre planète. La subtilité de vos ornementations feraient pleurer des pierres. BRAVO et MERCI
It's well worth hearing the stuff she has done since with Kronos, Offa Rex, BBC radio clips, and of course her two CDs, "The Longest River" and "Shelter". The way she shades notes and adds slight variations is fantastic, and shows complete control of her main instrument, her remarkable voice. Her Indian harmonium playing perfectly complements it. She's no mean guitarist and pianist as well!
J'ai redécouvert cette magnifique chanson française avec ma fille. L'interprétation d'Olivia est d'une beauté touchante. Une voix extraordinaire. Bravo.
Wow, even if the audio is so crappy, you can tell she has the voice of a mermaid!
Elle a tellement une belle voix. Jamais j'aurais pensé qu'une chanson française pourrait sonner si belle...
Aupres de ma Blonde - Written in 1704 - great song.
This was sung in an episode of the fantastic BBC series Secret Army by Monique who was part of the evasion line.
The song was composed in 1704 during the reign of Louis XIV. A local tradition attributes the composition to André Joubert du Collet.Auprès de ma blonde is often attributed to André Joubert du Collet, a lieutenant in the Royal Navy during the reign of Louis XIV. Taken prisoner by the Dutch, he is said to have composed the song in 1704, after his release.To thank the king, André Joubert du Collet offered Louis XIV a song that he had composed in captivity as a tribute to his wife, "ma blonde".
Indeed, at the time the song was composed, blonde meant "girlfriend" or "companion". Curiously, this meaning has remained common in Quebec. Therefore, the French used to say "He's going to get married with his blonde" (his fiancée).The song became popular during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and entered the popular repertoire.

Never thought I would see this beautiful haunting Napoleonic French song sung on an Indian harmonium. Bravo!!!! Respect artist!
I will just restate the obvious.... this young lady's voice is so beautiful ! Her talent far eclipses the venue she is singing in. She should be show-cased somewhere worthy of her abilities. Thank you for sharing your gifts here. Our lives are sweeter for it.
Nothing wrong with the venue.
Nice Person. Lovely Song. Thank you. Still Listening.
Il est des chansons immortelles , celle ci fait partie du nombre , l' interprétation est remarquable .
Just love this.
I might have said something along these lines before but, of all the musical performances I have ever seen, this is certainly one of the most magnificent.
Thank you for sharing, Olivia.
Floors Me, Everytime, ma Chinoise.
Stunning! Amazing voice, haunting melody conjures up ghosts of the past, mine, and from long long ago...simply stunning. Love this.
You could cry it's so beautiful.
Thank you so much for this. One of my lifetime's greatest joys.
Jean-Luc Picard sent me here ☺
Jean Luc and his brother singing this... just watched that episode a while back, episode entitled, "Family," on Star Trek the Next Generation.
Same...I spent 8 years learning French and didnt come across this until Picard and his brother. ;)
He sent me to lol
Samesies
First heard it on Star Trek TNG and fell in love with the melody. I only found the actual song today.... thank you internet!
Heart-felt wonderful and warm rendition of a great French folk song! Thank you for this. Moved me in same way as the Pottelburge interpretation of Courons a la Fete.
Hello there, i'm English, and head of music at my school, and i have been asked to perform this song
with just 3 weeks notice, i cannot speak a word of french, and if i'm being totally honest i don't actually like the song, but!
when i heard Olivia Chaney sing this song i just absolutely loved it, and now i can sing this song much better, thanks to this.
Well Done Olivia Chaney you have an amazing Voice i very much hope you do more.
Thank You. Kane Stevens!
Such command of song is rare and special
Stunning! I'm a 70 year old Englishman living in Spain. My father taught me to sing this song when he was on Leave during WW2. Unfortunately, I don't know the translation.
GOOGLE WILL TRANSLATE IT FOR YOU
I thank you for your father service 🦖✌️

ohhhh thank you sooo much. i’ve been looking and looking for an english translation. i memorized the sounds of these lyrics as a child. someone in a tv western had sung it 😂 and i’ve never forgotten it. i had the french words all wrong, but close ❤️👍
Linda Conlee I’m glad to be of help!😊
Beautiful Voice Ms.Chaney, je vous félicite. J espère que vous et votre famille se porte bien en ces temps. Merci pour cette chanson
très émouvant ...merci :)
je suis fasciné par se peuple magnifique ...
Une voix du ange! Tres belle.
Bravo,magnifique et émouvante version.
Yes, an amazing and evocative performance.
Stunning voice, beautiful girl...I'm planning to go to Royal Festival Hall to see and hear more of her in April.
belle vois et belle chanson , beautiful music
Wooow I really like your interpretation!! This was my favorite song when I was a child so that brings back a lot of memories to me you are really good! Your voice is very beautiful and your intepretation is awesome! :)
I've never learned to speak french, and didn't look up a description before i wrote this, and the song definatly gives off a powerful impression.
There's longing, but not bittersweet, its a sincire and honest longing for someone important to them. If not love then something close in terms of power. Also towards the end, it radiates contentment, for lack of a better description.
merveilleuse vous etes arrivé a m arracher une larme ce qui est rare chez moi merci
I am a bit late judging by the date but your interpretation is nothing less than "magnifique"! Thanks for sharing this moment!
Magnifique, merci
Superbe interprétation ! Bravo
just beyond anything I was expecting. wonderful!
John Dos Passos' novel "Three Soldiers" brought me here. Kim Stanley Robinson's novel "New York 2140" brought me to John Dos Passos.
The breath management is WILD. 👏👏 like her voice is obviously amazing but that breath management damn
Like others, heard this while binging on STNG. Fantastic rendering! Searched her discography for a download but, no joy.
this is almost transcendent perfection
Incroyable interprétation / Amazing cover
Pięknie śpiewasz i jesteś piękna Oliwio .Brawo!
I hear her accent but it sounds great 🤗🇫🇷🌺🤩🎼🙏🏻
Wow she rocks ! Never hear this traditional French song with a so amazing cover,
Barely not accent, just nice touch congratulation.
Elle assure un max, jamais entendu une telle version. C’est épatant surtout pour une anglaise, presque pas d’accent juste une jolie touche. J'adore.
In the blighted ignorance of my personal cultural wasteland, I had never heard of Olivia Carey. Now I have heard a voice for the ages.
Fantastique! Its awesome
I have to sing this song for my voice class and your interpretation of the peice is so lovely that i shared it with the class :)
Des frissons magnifique...
So nice ;-)!A marvellous interpretation with a Celtic finale ;-) ! The Gauls are Celtic aren't they!?Thank You for the singing with heart and a green gown!May St.Patrick bless You Olivia!From Warsaw with cordial greetings ;-)!

Olivia, bravissima!
Sends a shiver down my spine.
Wow. Holy shit. That was amazing.
Sweet song. she is beautiful : )
I know this song only from Busman's Honeymoon, a novel by Dorothy L. Sayers from 1936. Lord Peter happily sings it during a murder investigation because he is finally married to the love of his live. My favorite book, and now a favorite song.
Simplement génial !
歌が上手ですね！この歌大好きです！
※私は日本人ですが、英語またはフランス語が分からなくてすみません！
