Ondine

Once upon a time there was in the Gainsbourg's life a bright comet Puss in Boots Prince Charming waking the Beauty (Mouth of Slavic Jewish)!

Il était une fois dans la vie de Gainsbourg une comète lumineuse chat botté prince charmant réveillant la Belle (Gueule de slave juif) !

On his remington, he sings more than her initials L.C.:
L a e in the "a" t i t i a.

Sur sa remington, il en chante plus que ses initiales L.C. :
Elaeudanla Teïtéïa.

Laetitia Casta Brigitte Bardot's watercolor by Joann Sfar, Dargaud editions

In his watercolors Sfar insufflates life. Laetitia Casta makes Brigitte B. more fragile. She thumbs her nose at the death. She dances in front of the skeleton with immutable facial aspect as the Gainsbarre's Mouth.

De ses aquarelles Sfar insuffle la vie. Laetitia Casta rend Brigitte B. plus fragile. Elle fait la nique à la mort. Elle danse devant le squelette au faciès immuable telle la Gueule de Gainsbarre.

The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945) by Albert Lewin
In the Sfar's idea, there is a duality between Gainsbourg and his dead ringer Gainsbarre La Gueule
[The Mouth played by Doug Jones]. It is true that La Gueule will never get old.

Do you think that the white angel Lucy Gordon Jane B. will spare Gainsbourg Dorian Gray all wrong steps?
She draws a blank [elle fait chou blanc] with the Cabbage head.

Croyez-vous que l'ange blanc Lucy Gordon Jane B. évitera au Gainsbourg Dorian Gray tous les faux pas ?
Choux blême.

Make Kacey explode the spud! Little hole of puncher of Lilas station.
The necklace of Anna Mouglalis Juliette G. is even shaking until the small of her back of Little Vampire.

Que Kacey fasse exploser la patate ! P'tit trou de poinçonneur des Lilas. Le collier d'Anna Mouglalis Juliette G. en tremble encore jusqu'au creux de ses reins de Petit Vampire.

Do not burn your ticket for the Gainsbourg's poetry. Orchestrated by Daviaud, listen to the Elmosnino's voice: gestures all in wisp of smoke, his looks, his resemblances, his tunes on the big screen cause more shivers than the original who concealed an exacerbated fragility watering our microgroove records (*) of provocation!

*: auto-provocation evoking the French National Anthem
"Qu'un sang impur abreuve nos sillons" etc...
[Let an impure blood water our furrows]
revisited by Gainsbourg.

Ne brûlez pas votre billet pour la poésie de Gainsbourg. Orchestrée par Daviaud, écoutez la voix d'Elmosnino : sa gestuelle tout en volute, ses airs sur grand écran provoquent plus de frissons que l'original qui cachait une fragilité exacerbée en abreuvant nos microsillons de provocation !
