Les Paroless, by Jean-Jacques Goldman


Explanation:
Further checking shows that it's a song (see website) so you shouldn't change the title. "Paroless" seems to be commmon usage in French pop song lyrics, especially in W. Africa and Creole.

agree  Fleur Serrière (X): 'paroless'? I've never heard it or seen it written this way, even in W.Africa. Could you explain what you mean?
1 hr
  -> I can't help you much, but if you try Google with "paroless"--alone or in combos, you'll see (out of space)
disagree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: No, it's just a typo!
17 hrs
  -> Maybe so, but that's a lot of typos: try "paroless" in Google

lyrics by/words by Jean-Jacques Goldman


Explanation:
I came up with the same site as Guy Bray. The URL is in fact a page from Gérald de Palmas’s Official site… but there is simply a typo (capital letter where there ought not to be one and an extra « s ») in the text which describes the story of the song. Another give-away that this was careless typing in the original on the web is the plural form of the verb : « Les paroles…. Parlent de… ». Had it ben referring to a song of that name, it woudl have read : « Les Paroles … parle de… », if you see what I mean. Anyway enough babbling Nikki, Compare Guy’s reference (from the official site) and another source where the same lyrics appear. The song’s title is in fact : « J’en rêve encore ». Just noticed that Abuamaal foudn the same thing. Points to Alexandra !!!

Les Paroless, signées Jean-Jacques Goldman, parlent d'une séparation et d'un garçon
qui ne s'en remet pas. C'est avec nuances et tact que cette chanson passe d'un couplet très dépouillé musicalement à un refrain ample et magnifiquement orchestré. Un morceau qui possède une vraie force climatique.

In answer to Guy.


Explanation:
Yes, a lot of typos but I am convinced that's what it is. All the more so as the words of the song are indeed those of "J'en rêve encore".

Compare your : http://www.depalmas.com.fr/chanson/netscape/textjenrevenet.h...

with another source :
http://www.paroles.net/text/J/GerPal12.htm

both of which I found on Google.
