May-December Romance



This TV commercial has been getting a lot of play here in Canada...



The ad campaign slogan, “Mets de la crème” means "Add cream."

The lyrics by the band Les Trois Accords are in French but essentially all you need to know is the title, "J'aime ta grand-mère," which translates as "I'm in love with your grandmother."

A young man falls under the spell of his girlfriend's grandmother, thanks to her gran's mouth-watering, cream-based recipes.

We here at Infomaniac would like to know...

Have you ever had a May-December romance in which one partner was much older than the other?

Were you the May (younger) or the December (older) member of the couple?

À la claire fontaine

In anticipation of Valentine's Day, we here at Radio Infomaniac offer you a song of love and loss. Because you've all been there, haven't you?



Enjoy the simple beauty of this traditional French/French-Canadian ballad as sung by France's Grégoire Boissenot.

Dozens of versions exist but Grégoire's is my favourite.



Il y’a longtemps que je t’aime,
Jamais je ne t’oublierai.

(“Long have I loved you,
Never will I forget you.”)


Background about this song, which dates back centuries and was sung by the Voyageurs, can be found here. And for those who wish to sing along or see a translation, click here.
