Your One And Only
A seductive and irresistibly charming 60’s style ballad, fleshed out to epic proportions with a lavish orchestral arrangement! Inspired by Théophile Gautier’s exquisite poem, ‘Le Spectre de la Rose’, the song depicts an enchanting romance between “the ghost of the rose” and a young woman who is hopelessly in love with him. Musically speaking, this single melds 60’s style pop influences with cinematic orchestration, and features an earworm vocal melody in the choruses. The result is an unforgettable song which is surely destined to become a classic, and has all the hallmarks of a big hit…
Dans un sommeil éternel
(In an eternal sleep)
Je suis le spectre de la rose
(I am the spectre of the rose)
Et je t’appelle
(And I’m calling you)
Spectre, spectre of my dream come back to me
Where have you been
Deceptor, weave your spell I’ll come willingly
Why can’t you see
I wanna be your one and only
Please tell me you’ll be mine
Don’t wanna feel sad and lonely
My heart is on the line
Nectar drew me into your endless embrace
Without a trace
Protector; tells me he will always keep me safe
There’s no escape
I wanna be your one and only
Please tell me you’ll be mine
Don’t wanna feel sad and lonely
My heart is on the line
When you’re gone
I am lost
Come back and save me again
I wanna be your one and only
Please tell me you’ll be mine
Don’t wanna feel sad and lonely
My heart is on the line
Ô toi, qui de ma mort fus cause
(Oh you who brought about my death)
Sans que tu puisses le chasser
(You shall be powerless to banish me)
Toutes les nuits mon spectre rose
(The rosy spectre which every night)
À ton chevet viendra danser
(Will come to dance at your bedside)
Mais ne crains rien, je ne réclame
(But be not afraid – I demand)
Ni messe ni De profundis
(Neither Mass nor De Profundis)
Ce léger parfum est mon âme
(This faint perfume is my soul)
Et j’arrive du paradis
(And I come from Paradise)
