Overview
editJe suis Mina is part of a multilingual triptych along with I Am Mina and Yo soy Mina, performed in English and Spanish respectively, in this case all the songs are performed in French and are being released on CD for the first time.[3]
Mostly there are French versions of songs from the 70s, taken from the albums Frutta e verdura (1973), Mina® (1974), La Mina (1975) and Singolare (1976). There are French versions of such big hits as "Non credere" ("Ne la crois pas"), "Io e te da soli" and original song "Cigarette" by singer and songwriter Jacques Higelin. The album also includes "C'est une chanson", the last single released for the French market, the original of which, "Una canzone", was taken from the album Salomè (1981), and its B-side "Quand l'amour vous touche". The French versions of "Sognando" ("A cœur ouvert") and "Ancora dolcemente" ("Les mauvais jours") are published here for the first time.[4]
Most of the French lyrics were written by Pierre Delanoë and Eddy Marnay.[3]
