Another very quiet week for Lara publicly, and pretty quiet also on the few remaining websites of relevance. Everyone is taking a break after the activity of the last 8 months. Nevertheless, there was a little news concerning upcoming activities.
It appears as if Lara’s participation on the homage to Gregory Lemarchal, set for April 28th on TMC, will consist of an interview extolling his great talent. It probably has already been recorded.
In contrast, Lara’s appearance on "STARS A DOMICILE" is very much in doubt, as is the show itself. It was reported that channel TF1 has cancelled the program due to the difficulty in getting performers to appear.
If one goes to the website to order tickets for Lara’s November concerts with Igor Krutoi in Moscow, it appears that the price for a first row center seat is 650 euros. As might be expected, this brought forth many comments, but we already knew that Lara’s tickets in Russia are exorbitant. The implication is that such concerts are basically only for the well-to-do. One fan noted that President Medvedev would have no problem paying for it – and one could just imagine him singing along on ‘Humana’!
Farfallina 17 has just been released. One can see scans of it (from Pure-Lara.fr) on laraabiannews.com. The cover has a really beautiful picture of Lara; inside there are articles on her time in Russia and the countries of the east; Lara’s 40th birthday party, with great pictures of Lara there as well (and check out the birthday cake on the 19th page); and pictures of Lara’s ‘angels’ (almost entirely women) at the TLFM concerts. Substantively, Lara says that she will not do a tour to promote EWIM as she does not have the time; and she declines to speak about her next album (surprisingly, since she has spoken about it elsewhere). One must say that the production values for the last few Farfallinas have been excellent, with wonderful, creative pictures of Lara, and a continued emphasis on celebrating Lara’s ‘angels’. There is no doubt they have become even more important to her with their active participation on the TLFM tour.
Finally, given (again) the scarcity of news, I repeat here the tentative translation of Lara’s song ‘Lou’, which she actually hasn’t sung in public since the concerts in Moscow last June. The translation was originally provided by Ely, and subsequently several people have suggested minor changes. When we see the actual words, any discrepancies among the interpretations can be cleared up. Presumably it will appear on the ‘Mme Zhivago’ album though we don’t know that for sure. Thanks again to Ely, ‘conquered 86’, and others…

Lou
(Fabian and Krutoi)
A little fairy, a little girl, a little star she is
Dancing as if she had wings there
And sings, sings like me
With a light soul
When I look at her I see a heart that
Already flies up above
Flies the world looking for freedom
When I lose myself in her thoughts,
I ask and she answers me
With her sweet blue eyes
Deep
A little fairy, a little girl, a little star she is
An angel that
Falls without my expecting
A gift in itself
True love she is
When she falls asleep in my arms
I feel on my face
Tears of joy
And a full smile
And when she wakes up then, and runs toward me
I feel that life
Finally it is all you,
Is Lou
Is Lou

Lara is again off this week publicly, hopefully enjoying the springtime with her family rather than waiting for grounded airplanes in Europe.
