Does anyone have the French lyrics to these tunes?

Belleville
Djangology
Douce Ambiance
Manoir De Mes Reves
Arillerie Lourde
La Javanaise
Minor Swing
Swing 42


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

THanks!

Only one of those tunes has lyrics, easily googled, feel free to write your own for the rest

I am not sure whether Belleville and Artillerie Lourde have lyrics...
But I'll look this week end and will send you the other tunes.
BTW there is a very famous version of Minor Swing with Lyrics by Dennis Chang...

I know for sure that Swing 42, Douce Ambiance and Manoir De Mes Reves do because I have the Orkest Polytur recording with them. Since French is not my first language it's extremely helpful to see the lyrics written out. I was hoping someone had come across them.

Wow, Denis Chang wrote some mighty fine lyrics for minor swing

Orkest Polytour may have written some lyrics for Swing 42,Douce Ambiance and Manoir de Mes Reves, but I can assure you that Django (the author of said tunes) did not.
You might try a Google search of, say, Douce Ambiance Lyrics and perhaps be directed to a site that has Orkest Polytour's version written out.

Try 'You know i'm no good' By Amy Winehouse over minor swing. Works!

Think its the first time Amy's been on Djangobooks. God bless 'er

Scot with the score!! (literally and figuratively)
The name Jacques LaRue should ring a bell as he also wrote lyrics to Nuages and (I think) Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen.
So, it would seem that a quick Google search would yield a treasure trove of lyrics to Django's (and others) tunes.

I stand (sit,actually) corrected.

Great info Scot!!
