Petula Sally Olwen Clark, CBE (born 15 November 1932) is an English singer, actress and composer whose career has spanned seven decades.
Clark's professional career began as an entertainer on BBC Radio during World War II. During the 1950s she started recording in French and having international success in both French and English, with such songs as "The Little Shoemaker", "Baby Lover", "With All My Heart" and "Prends Mon Cœur". During the 1960s she became known globally for her popular upbeat hits, including "Downtown", "I Know a Place", "My Love", "A Sign of the Times", "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love", "Colour My World", "This Is My Song" and "Don't Sleep in the Subway". The timing and popularity of these songs caused Clark to be dubbed the First Lady of the British Invasion. She has sold more than 68 million records throughout her career.
Clark was born to a Welsh mother, Doris (Phillips) Clark, and an English father, Leslie Norman Clark, both of whom were nurses at Long Grove Hospital in Epsom, Surrey, England. Her father invented her first name and joked it was a combination of the names of two former girlfriends, Pet and Ulla.
Tant qu'on saura que Juliette était blonde
Et Roméo fou d'amour
Tant qu'on saura que notre terre est ronde
Et qu'on en a fait le tour
On verra s'en aller le cortège
Des jolis rêves perdus
Et tourne, tournera le manège
Des amours défendues.
{Refrain:}
Roméo
Ton prénom sent si bon l'amour
Roméo
Ton prénom chantera toujours
Roméo
Dans le cÅâ ur des filles des faubourgs
Roméo
Toi qui a su mourir d'amour
Mais aujourd'hui tu irais en Ecosse
Avec ta Juliette au bras
Tu t'en irais sans habit ni carrosse
Lui passer la bague au doigt
Tu oublierais tes parents insensibles
Mais toi, pauvre de toi,
Pour sauver un amour impossible
Tu n'avais pas le choix.
