Bending (indeed, snapping) the rules to share this dreamy affair from a gorgeous album - to be fair, band from Paris, Latin title, accents you could couper avec un couteau and lyrics ostensibly translated from the French with the aid of a 1982 Collins Gem dictionary.

C'est une maison bleue - It's a blue house, Adossée à la colline - Standing against a hill. On y vient à pied, on ne frappe pas - You get there on foot, you walk in without knocking: Ceux qui vivent là, ont jeté la clé - The people who live there have thrown away the key.
On se retrouve ensemble - We are together again, Après des années de route - After years on the road. Et l'on vient s'asseoir, autour du repas - And we gather for a meal, Tout le monde est là, à cinq heures du soir - Everybody's there, at five in the evening.
Quand San Francisco s'embrume - When San Francisco is covered in fog, Quand San Francisco s'allume - When San Francisco lights up.

I'm sad to learn this morning that Toumani Diabate has died. Some in this thread might be familiar with his beautiful Kora playing and many collaborations. I've enjoyed his music for a long time and was delighted to see him live some years ago.
"Daddy, what's this song called" "Eisbaer" "Does it have any words" "Umm, yeah in a minute" "What are the words" "Eisbaer" [time passes} "Daddy how long is this song?" "About six minutes" "And all it says is 'Eisbaer'?" "Yeah" "Daddy what is wrong with you?"
