‘Mon Amie La Rose’ is a beautiful poem about mortality and the journey from purity and innocence to death; it was written by Cecile Caulier, a French author, composer and singer, and Jacques Lacombe, a French singer.
The poem was first performed as a song by Françoise Hardy in 1964, and became one of Hardy’s most popular songs. In 1999, a modernized version of the song was recorded by Natacha Atlas for her third album entitled ‘Gedida’; Natacha Atlas' version of the song was produced by Transglobal Underground, the band Ms. Atlas sang and performed with in the early 90s before releasing her first solo album ‘Diaspora’ in 1995.
