Yet, quoting your wisdom, also in my case it is the hard work that beats talent... Do not hesitate to share my song. I would love some viewers as compensation for the hard work. Et pourtant, this kind of work is pure pleasure :).

My pleasure!

I put the song through google translate just so I could know what it's about. It's a beautiful love song. Here's the lyrics for others :)

I did a song for you
full of words you do not understand
words from a far country
If I sing in my language
You would not understand anything
So I try in yours

Perhaps this is a phase
A fire extinguishing
Yet this fire burns me
despite distance and time

Day by day , month by month
I walk with you
And in my world you're mine
I'll hug
My love is not there
and I whisper softly, oh yes, I love you

I curdled me on more than one dock
waiting for your arrival
but the cold wind was too strong
I pamper the warmth of your bed
Why do not you come here
warm me, lost in the North

Your country full of sunshine
Wine and vermilion color
lavender , love and my sorrow
I take the first train to you
Who knows , just one last time
To kiss you in a bed of thyme

In stead of "I'll hug / My love is not there": I hug / my love who is not there. And is stead of "I curdled me on more than one dock": I froze on more than one platform.
