Song originally written for voice and ostinato guitar in memory of the final meeting with my lover in a Strasbourg patisserie back in 1977:

Voilà plus de trente jours, mon amour,
Que nous nous sommes quittés
On ne se faisait plus la cour
Nos coeurs n'ont même pas lutté
Dans cette moche pâtisserie
Un autre t'a tapé dans l'oeil
Ce qui ne me touchait plus
Car j'étais sur le seuil d'une autre vie
Toute inconnue, loin de cette moche pâtisserie
Ma vie nouvelle aux amis nouveaux
Ne te touche pas, loin du Rhin
On s'oubliera, âmes et peaux,
Mais rappelons la joie, le bon et le bien
D'avant cette moche pâtisserie

....

[It's been over 30 days, my love,
that we left each other
We no longer courted
Our hearts did not even struggle
In that tacky cake shop
Another took your fancy
And it didn't bother me
Because I was on the threshhold of another life
Quite unknown, far from that tacky cake shop
My new life with new friends
Does not affect you, far from the Rhine
We'll forget each other, souls and skins,
But let's recall the joy and good times
From before that tacky cake shop]

It is performed here by
András Csáki (guitar)
and
György Gulyás-Nagy (viola)
