My Lover of Saint-JeanÉmile Carrara

Mon amant de saint jean. Accordéon

Guided by the graceful melody of the accordion, this piece invites you to a dance hall in the suburbs of Paris in 1942.

Composed by Émile Carrara, this waltz tells a poignant love story from the perspective of a young woman.

It paints sweet moments with a lover met at a nighttime dance, and the looming sense of parting that follows, all carried by the characteristically wistful tones of musette.

Featured in François Truffaut’s film “The Last Metro,” it remains a beloved standard across generations.

Perfect for a leisurely afternoon in a café or when you want to bask in nostalgia, it brings a gentle warmth to the heart with the sound of the accordion.
