Sur le sable, face à la mer
Se dresse là, un cimetière
Où les cyprès comme des lances
Sont les gardiens de son silence.
Sur le sable, des lits de fer
Sont plantés là, face à la mer
Mon ami, la mort t'a emmené
En son bateau pour l'éternité.
Si on allait au cimetière
Voir mon [ton] nom gravé sur la pierre,
Saluer les morts face à la mer,
Ivres de vie dans la lumière.
Dans la chaleur, le silence
A l'heure où les cyprès se balancent
Les morts reposent au cimetière
Sous le sable, face à la mer.
Se dresse là, un cimetière
Où les cyprès comme des lances
Sont les gardiens de son silence.

Saluer les morts face à la mer,

Dans la chaleur, le silence

why can’t both of these songs be good? why do people get so weird with music that it’s one or the other
Following that annoying The National song with the very boring monotonous voice, this tune has a similar bass vocal, but this whole song is soooo much better.

French is a challenging language to sing in. Few artists can pull it off successfully. This band is not one of them. Even the name of the band is ugly.

Parfait.
EXCELLENT!! Thanx RP!

Makes me feel so good everytime I hear it. I bought the original version at the time and loved it. Then I heard this remix, bought it too (20 years ago?) and loved it even more. Godlike!

Calogero did this so much better and so much more intensive... a weak cover.

Emotive lyrics remind me of the Souda Bay cemetery in Crete. Beautiful and moving place to visit. Sprinkler system under the turf comes on late afternoon and every one creates its own rainbow. Touching.

If we went to the cemetery
See my [your] name engraved on stone,

Hi RP and RP listeners
Happy 2020 to everybody
My two cents about this song of the Négresses Vertes : it's not an intrumental it's a beautiful and moving poem.
Here are the words, if you will excuse my french :-)
"Sur le sable, face à la mer
Se dresse là, un cimetière
Où les cyprès comme des lances
Sont les gardiens de son silence.
Sur le sable, des lits de fer
Sont plantés là, face à la mer
Mon ami, la mort t'a emmené
En son bateau pour l'éternité.
Si on allait au cimetière
Voir mon [ton] nom gravé sur la pierre,
Saluer les morts face à la mer,
Ivres de vie dans la lumière.
Dans la chaleur, le silence
A l'heure où les cyprès se balancent
Les morts reposent au cimetière
Sous le sable, face à la mer."
I'm ready to discuss the "mon" instead of "ton" in line 10" : the general meaning is more "ton" but this "mon" is hearable in most of recorded performances of les Négresses Vertes.
Some kind of tragical premonition ?
Bisous à tous, Matt, la grenouille de Versailles.

I am reminded of the weird, wonderful effect of being "transported" to a distant place or time I get when I hear certain Santana songs; here "Jingo" sticks in my mind... similar syncopation maybe. Quite lovely.
This is beautiful...
Enjoying the sounds, peace to all
Wonderful! What a band to see - privilege of seeing them twice. Friend of mine dancing very badly at front of stage, lead singer (Helno) stops and stares at him .... ah
Viva occitània et le Paratge 
Les Negresses Vertes is one of the best French bands, and this is Massive badass cover!!!

Yes, The Green Negro Women are definitely underground heroes. Never heard 'em played on any radio in any country. They're here, though; YEAH! I think they take things to a B-52s-kind of level, and I worship that kind of artistry. Makes me wanna hear their MLAH...

It's such a joy to hear old 'secret' gems in RP. I had the luck to see them live in Switzerland back in the 90ies (or was it even 80ies). Unforgettable!
I've loved these guys since I got turned onto them in the late 1980s. Such a trippy kick! Their world-spanning rhythms are infectious, their sarcasm is hilarious (Les Yeux de Ton Pere; Le Faim des Haricots), and their style completely unique... ~La vie du chien!
GODLIKE!!!

I was gonna say the same thing! How weird is that?
like the song too.
For some reason this reminds me of a rather long camel ride through the Moroccan desert to the town of Mhamid, right in the south of the country, right on the Algerian border. The sea was miles away, all there was to see was desert scrub, scattered greying palm groves and the odd dune: I didn't even have any music with me (and possibly at that time didn't even own this song). Still, the beats were going through my head as my trusty (smelly) beast and I lollopped our way through the sand and heat, after a dusty night in a Berber tent in the middle of nowhere.
Strange how things stick in your head- it's a bit chilly here at the moment, but the song definitely brings its own warmth.

Love this band. Have this original tune on a CD somewhere. Going to have to dig this out. Was waiting for this to finally appear on RP. Bill, other than the fatal Byrne addiction you are the best. ever.
Awesome synchronicity, RP! I was jogging in the park earlier, wishing it would come on my iPod, and it did...and when I got home just now, after riding my bike through Cranmer, Robinson and Crestmoor Parks, I was wanting to hear it again...and -- VOILA -- here it is!
Well, this is bloody wonderful.
So good for me les negresses vertes sont un groupe de musique trop peu écouté, i love them and these remix by massive attack is so fun.. Thanks you radio paradise...
I love you so much
I love you so much
Great tune, and for what it's worth, the Café del Mar albums feature a lot of really cool artists, well worth checking out.
Marginal at best....

Makes me want to go to France if these guys are still together.

Oh, how Atlas Mountain! I luv it!
I've loved Les Negresses Vertes since 1988, when a cool co-worker in Shizuoka turned me onto them...such incredible grooves (and lots of tongue-in-cheek lyrics!) that stick in the brain for days, weeks, years...Mais oui, bien sur! it is always a joy and thrill to hear them!
Outstanding seque, as usual. The fact I usually have this station running on multiple machines on my desks and labs is due to the Genius of Bill.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Les Negresses on Radio Paradise!!!! COOOOLLL
and THIS is my favorite from them
That was kinda fun!
Massive can attack me anytime

Never heard this before, but cool. Though it kinda also feels like I walked into a Gap. Regardless, Miles Davis Concierto De Aranjuez into this is exactly why I listen to RP

Haven't heard this one, but Cafe Del Mar's #2/Dreams is sublime.
If you've got a pool, or you go to the beach, or you're doing anything on a hot summer day, or it's the deep of winter and you wish it was a hot summer day, get any of the Cafe del Mar series. It's a fixture in my summer rotation.
