As your keen powers of observation have infallibly prompted you to notice, it is the second time d’affilée (in a row) that des fantômes (ghosts) boast a prominent appearance here on The French Blog… But don’t panic just yet, or speed dial the “S.O.S. Fantômes” (“Ghostbusters”) emergency line.
Unlike “Ça” of the previous post, today’s phantom wears no makeup or some silly pair of chaussures rouges (red shoes)… No Sir! In fact, this one wields a red rose, and happens to be endowed with a comparatively more “raffiné” sense of fashion—Not to mention, of course, a fine, lyric, tenor voice that leaves no further choice to his hapless, opéra-loving, victim but be thoroughly mesmerized.

First, the Nightwish (English) version of “The Phantom of the Opera” (with a Captain Jack Sparrow hitting the keyboard!)

A quite remarkable reprise instrumentale (instrumental cover) by Luke Hatton that leaves some of the “shredding” genre fans wondering: What would Sylvain Cloux do out of this theme?

Cecilia Cara is the French voice behind “Christine Daaé”, and Laurent Bàn for the voice of “le Fantôme de l’Opéra“, in the 2004 movie adaptation
* Christine Daaé:
La nuit dans mon sommeil
At night, in my sleep
Se glisse un homme
A man slips in
Sa voix éclate en moi
His voice bursts in me
Sa voix me somme
His voice summons me
Serait-ce un rêve encore?
Could it be a dream again?
Mais cette fois
But this time
Je sais que le fantôme de l’opéra est là en moi
I know that the Phantom of the Opera is in my mind
* Le Fantôme:
Ce soir la scène est mise
Tonight the stage is set
Nos chants se mêlent
Our singing voices blend
Ma main, mes mots, ma voix
My hand, my words, my voice
Je t’ensorcelle
I cast a spell on you
Et si ton doux regard
And if your soft gaze
Se perd parfois
Is lost sometimes
Tu sais que le fantôme de l’opéra est là en toi
You know that the Phantom of the Opera is inside your mind
