ABC Wednesday Y for Yves Montand

Thinking of the letter Y, I thought of Yves Montand, whose chansons were always so popular when I was young.

From Wikipedia: Early life
Montand was born Ivo Livi in Monsummano Terme, Italy to Josephine and Giovanni, poor peasants. Montand's family left Italy for France in 1923. He grew up in Marseille, where, as a young man, he worked in his sister's barber shop, and later on the docks. He began a career in show business as a music-hall singer. In 1944 he was discovered by Édith Piaf in Paris and she made him part of her act, becoming his mentor and lover.


Career
He went on to international recognition as a singer and actor, starring in numerous films. His recognizably crooner songs, especially those about Paris, became instant classics.

Sous le ciel de Paris
S'envole une chanson
Hum Hum
Elle est née d'aujourd'hui
Dans le cœur d'un garçon
Sous le ciel de Paris
Marchent des amoureux
Hum Hum
Leur bonheur se construit
Sur un air fait pour eux

Under the sky of Paris
A song escapes
Hum hum
It was just invented today
In the heart of a young man
Under the sky of Paris
Lovers are walking
Hum hum
Their happiness being fashioned
On a melody made just for them
