Jean Sablon was one of the crooners of the 1930s. These were difficult years and, ironically, this song was released in 1939. World War II was about to begin. After the Anschluss, the annexation of Austria, we had the Sudeten Crisis. Hitler invaded a part of Czechoslovakia where there was a concentration of German-speaking people. Then came the invasion of Poland: September 1939.

Also, I’ve sent this to my brother and he told me that my father used to play Sablon’s version of Charles Trenet’s “Vous qui passez sans me voir” on his harmonica.

It was a very popular song translated in several languages, German in particular. My mother sang it. The difficulty was finding an exact translation. I couldn’t, so I had to do an “in house” translation. It’s a classic like The Days of Wine and Roses, etc. I just love this stuff. Thank you so much. Trenet’s interpretation is fabulous, but there were problems with the sound. Thank you and have a good day.

Hey! My name is Al Camaj and I personally just wanted to say your blogging site is great! It truly is surprising due to the fact I use to have a website that virtually had an identical web address: https://michelinewalker.com/2012/07/23/jattendrai-le-jour-et-la-nuit-jattendrai-toujours-ton-retour/ mine was only a few characters different. Anyways, I am a big admirer of your blog and if you at any time would like a guest article you should email me at: Favia4338@gmail.com. I absolutely adore writing!
