J'attendrai Le jour et la nuit, j'attendrai toujours Ton retour J'attendrai Car l'oiseau qui s'enfuit vient chercher l'oubli Dans son nid Le temps passe et court En battant tristement Dans mon cœur si lourd Et pourtant, j'attendrai Ton retour J'attendrai I will wait Day and night I will always wait Your return I will wait Cause the bird that has left Comes looking for Oblivion In its nest Time passes beating sadly inside my heart so loud However I will wait Your return Esperaré El Día y la noche esperaré Por siempre Tu regreso Esperaré Porque el ave que se marchó Viene en busca del olvido En su nido El tiempo pasa y corre Al fuerte latir Triste de mi corazón Sin embargo Esperaré Tu regreso
I saw this movie, when it first came out and it is still haunting today! I spent years to find out what the first song Ms Redgrave sang and finally found out it's J'attendrai. I can remember hearing it almost as much as La Vie en Rose by Edith Piaf. It was a sobering film of it's day, then Schindler's List drove it home, also...I have found the song on one tape years ago at Barnes and Noble and was more of an instrumental...Would the English version be called, "I'll Be Yours"?? Having been to Auschwitz-Birkenau many times and Theirsenstad (sp) in the Czech Republic, the camps are all horrible!!
Does not seem possible that this movie was made in 1980 - great film. Has it really been over thirty years...yeesch.....I think this movie finally got a DVD release...as well it should.
Vanessa Redgrave is a great actress. One of Britain's finest. A lot of people do not like her because of her political views. Well I support the Israeli's however i believe in freedom of speech and it does not stop me from admiring her although she supports the Palestinians.
Many people consider her as an anti-semite, she is not however. Americans are actually very weird when it comes to jews, the holocaust and Israel. How are Palestine and Israel outclusive? Well, they both fight for the same land, but anywho, Vanessa has only critisiced extremists, or as she calls them in her infamous Oscar speech from 1977 "a small bunch of Zionist hoodlums" who ruin the reputation of jews everywhere, or did, at that time, or maybe still? I'm not so familiar with this issue, but she was referring to the Anti-Defamation League, not all jews! This is widely covered in Donald Spoto's biography of the Redgrave family and Redgrave has always and ever since been atmost careful of not doing anything against the religion of judaism or Israel, quite the contrary. You know what why am I defending her, if someone is stupid enough not to get actual information of events and people (much like believing that Jane Fonda was a traitor in Vietnam) then it's their fault...
