Songwriters: Gilbert Bécaud & Pierre Delanoë
Original song:
This song was written in the beginning of the 60s: During the Cold War, Gilbert Bécaud sang the beauties of Russia... even if the author of this song, Pierre Delanoë, was known for his anti-Soviet position!
Could a Westerner fall in love with his tourist guide in Moscow?... At that time, this was a taboo!
’Nathalie’ is a very famous song in European countries - it is known at least from Paris to Vladivostok - and because of it... there are many girls/women worldwide with this name! Many friends of mine have this beautiful firstname... This song is for them... and for all of those who do not want to see the start of a new cold war... I pray for peace on Earth.
