One of Ms Hardy's impossible to find early songs. There are Italian and French versions. The original is in English and was first a hit by a group called Nirvana in England...Not THAT Nirvana :). In my opinion, the Italian version is the best I have ever heard. This is the English version.

Ms Hardy has a huge English Speaking following and every now and then she would throw us a bone by recording something in English. :) This is off an early LP. I still think she looks stunning and hopefully I show this in the clips.

I also have the French version and will put that out in a few days.

Lyrics

------------------------------

tiny goddess wrapped in lace

that certain smile upon your face

is telling me what's to be when he leaves

in a room just five foot eight

I sit alone and I will wait

to hear from him, to wait for him to call me

don't let him humour me

with letters I won't read

please sympathise with me

if only you could speak

photograph that's in my case

will travel with me every place

reminding me

what to be for his love

orchards smell of sweet perfume

the mountainside is now in bloom

and I am here

waiting for his company

don't let him humour me

with letters I won't read

the clock's at half past three

it's stopped awake like me

tiny goddess wrapped in lace

that certain smile upon your face

is telling me what's to be when he leaves

in a room just five foot eight

I sit alone and I will wait

to hear from him, to wait for him to call me

Jeny thank you really not enough for your dedication to the music of Francoise,there will never be another like her,just as there can never be a group like the Beatles my fav group of the sixties.I heard the first few notes of Tiny Goddess & recognised the tune straight away.though I hadn't heard since the sixties even the words were in my mind.I feel like a teenager again,I have also started french classes I think it is the most beautiful one on earth, I do speak 3 languages the more the better

I love this version by the always great Francois Hardy. Anyone interested should try and listen to the swedish version by a group called the Jackpots made in 1967.

I share the opinion that the Italian version stays the best, given that it signed my teen age. But so often I searched, found and appreciated more original or English (or French) versions, so I can hope to be 'balanced' in my judgment. Usually the Italian cover's lyrics are more meaningful, this is not the case but, for some mysterious reason, the end of it touches me deeply ("se tu m'abbandonassi io verrei sotto al tuo portone"="if you'd abandone me I'll come under your house door")

Andreas Dorau sampled part of this for "Allein im Park", a great little tune from the nineties with some haunting story to it. Thanks so much for putting this up :)

The original by Nirvana (U.K) is one one of my all time favourite records, and I didn't think anyone could do a better version. This isn't better but fantastically different. Love it!! Thanks for the upload

This things all things devours. Such a crime that beauty like this fades and then eventually falls to the ground like aleaf from a tree. Such a tradgedy is time

In English In French In any Language...Françoise keeps the same rythm : Softness of voice, Slow Fluidity of Words, Tenderness of instrumental arrangement.....She belongs to all cultures and she passes Happy days and Wonderful nights in all the people's hearts...It's sure : In her Songs, all the Differences disappear and all the people speak one Language : Françoise's Language : Human Love and Common Will...............May God bless Françoise and may God bless me !!!!
