Dear Pierre Woodman,

what´s your opinion about Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg and this very special song "Je t'aime... moi non plus"? I´ve just watched a documentary in german television about a new exlusive picture book of non-released pictures of Jane and Serge. Isn´t this song just epic, and this love between Jane and Serge? There was a version with B.B. too, in 1967, but the version with Jane Birkin is much more popular and even better of 1969?

Lyrics! I wish, i could speak french ... :( :( :(
Je t'aime
oh, oui je t'aime!
moi non plus
oh, mon amour...
comme la vague irrésolu
je vais je vais et je viens
entre tes reins
et je
me retiens-je t'aime je t'aime
oh, oui je t'aime !
moi non plus
oh mon amour...
tu es la vague, moi l'île nue
tu va et tu viens
entre mes reins
tu vas et tu viens
entre mes reins
et je
te rejoins- je t'aime je t'aime
moi non plus
oh, mon amour...
comme la vague irrésolu
je vais je vais et je viens
entre tes reins
et je
me retiens
tu va et tu viens
entre mes reins
tu vas et tu viens
entre mes reins
et je
te rejoins- je t'aime je t'aime
oh, oui je t'aime !
moi non plus
oh mon amour...
l'amour physique est sans issue
je vais et je viens
entre tes reins
je vais et je viens
et je me retiens
non ! main-
tenant
Viens !

Hi, the version with BB , is the original, he wrote this song for her, in time they were´´together´´ but BB was married, BB asked him not to put the song in the market, and he accepted.He spent some time in great pain when BB quit with him, and later on he met Jane as an actress for a film,,,but this is another story...I m sure Pierre will correct me if I´m wrong, may be Pierre met Serge?, :?: ,the story of Serge is fascinating as well as BB and that time of history.

Marlene Dietrich reminds me of that worldstars, she died in Paris in 1992, after she didnt´t left her appartment for about 11 years by that time ... so sad, she was addicted to drugs and alcohol. She received and lost everything in life ... :( :( :(

I remember a story about BB when she was about 20 and talking about Chanel #5. She said that before going to bed, she always put just a little bit of the perfume high up on the inside of her thighs. An extremely naive, stupid (American) reporter asked her why? :oops: :oops: :roll: :roll:

I have no proof about the story with BB. Only my memory, which is definitely not perfect. :oops:
The story of MM and Chanel #5, happened in 1960 with a reporter on radio. It was scandalous in 1960, because she said that she put a little bit behind her ears, and then giggled, and said that was all that she wore in bed.
