Toffees, sweets, chocolates

Sometimes, I don't understand you

What do you say?

-Salute.

-Salute.

Who loves the

stars over the dunes

Tender words

wrapped in sweet talk

Settle in my mouth

But never in my hear

Another word, just one

Words, words, words

Listen to me

Words, words, words

I beg you

Words, words, words

I swear

Words, words, words

Words and more words

you scatter in the wind

You're so beautiful.

Words, words, words

That's amazing.

I never felt that before.

You've been my wife

through many lives.

Aren't you tired

of making love with me...

...after all these lifetimes?

-Do I look like I am?

-No.

Kiss me more

Kiss me much more times

I am singing this song

of yore for you

Kiss me more

Kiss me much more times

It's like a love story

that will not end

It is sung in the streets

Under unknown skies and

in the whole of France

It was thought to

have been forgotten

But for us to better love

it has started anew

Kiss me

Kiss me much more

If in another country

it means, "Kiss me."

Kiss me

Kiss me much more

All my life I would want

to sing it with you.

We don't ask of love

Neither an everlasting pledge

nor an improbable setting

For us to love we simple need

A few words set to music

Kiss me

Kiss me much more

f in another country

it means, "Kiss me."

Kiss me

Kiss me much more

All my life I would want

to sing it with you.

Kiss me

Kiss me much more

I love you.

Dalida's love life

has long shown eclecticism.

And she has caught us out before.

Rumor or for real?

Charmed by

the exotic Dalida...

...Delon called her to his office.

-Stop. You know it's not true.

-Don't.

-I read.

You know it's not true.

Come, my love.

Come, my love.

Stop it.

Is it normal that people believe

the Delon story?

What people?

What do you mean?

The public, everyone.

You do a record and

a cover with him.

You know how they are.

-Stop it, love.

You know how much I love you.

There is no love,

only proof of love.

What more do you want?

Tell me what you want.

-I don't know.

We could make a record together.

But you're not a singer, darling.

And Delon is?

A quiet table by candlelight

Two shadows huddled by the fire

One cigarette after another

A nightcap as the embers die

And love, love, love

Perfect!

-Excuse me.

-It's s..t.

-Bruno!

-What?

I want more volume.

Okay! A little louder.

Something wrong?

Stop it, please.

-What is it, my love? Tell me

-Nothing.

I really don't need pity.

I don't care about this record,

anyway.

Richard, stop being a child.

Stop it.

I've put on weight.

As I've not had my period

I thought I might be pregnant.

We can run some

supplementary tests.

But...

But?

You can't have children anymore.

What?

Your tubes were too damaged

during your abortion.

Ready, darling?

Will you help me?

Are you okay?

Yes.

Sure?

Yes.

You know what?

-We're going to do disco.

-What?

We'll do disco.

And you'll dance.

At my age!

It's the future.

And the future is you.

What did he say?

-He said I am the future.

-For sure!

Look at this rain!

Martine left the gate open?

No, she took the weekend off.

Stay here.

-If it's a burglar, I'll waste him.

-What is it?

-Richard, Richard!

-Dali! Stay here.

-Put that gun down!

-Stay there!

Richard, come back!

Richard!

Don't be afraid, Iolanda.

Give me your hand.

Don't be afraid.

Iolanda.

You can't leave me here.

Pay my bail.

I can't stay here.

I swear I'll pay you back.

But don't leave me here.

Right?

I love you.

Time's up!

Put your hand here.

Don't leave me.

I love you.

The trial of Richard Chanfray...

...alias Count St Germain

ended today.

1 year suspended sentence,

and 118,000 Francs in damages...

...paid by his girlfriend Dalida

to the victim...

...no longer in hospital.

He was the maid's boyfriend,

Dalida.

Hi.

A diamond record.

It's very heavy.

God believes her.

Who'd have thought that Dalida...

...could manage to win over

the reputedly tough US audience.

She sang in the showbiz capital...

...putting on a concert at the

world renowned Carnegie Hall

A worldwide hit, "Gigi L'Amoroso",

sold more copies in Europe.

It is so powerful to Frank

Sinatra's "Strangers in the Night".

At 46, Dalida can still amaze us.

Dalida celebrates 25 years of song

with a US-style show.

A career risk for an artist who has

already sold 67 million records

Exclusively for us, here are

the rehearsals for the show.

Here's Dalida!

-Hello.

-Hello and perfect Dalida!

Thank you.

I am all sweaty!

I believe a towel

has been prepared for you.

-Thank you Jacqueline.

-Yes.

I feel privileged

to witness rehearsals...

...that promise an

exceptional show.

You've rehearsed for 10 weeks

with Lester Wilson...

And he is here.

-Lester, come.

Very good.

Welcome Lester Wilson.

The famous choreographer

of "Saturday Night Fever".

A show whose poster

has already caused a stir.

That's true.

I'm from a very Catholic family.

For me, it was very difficult

to lose...

...how do you say?

My modestness.

We say modesty,

but modestness is just fine!

You look so young.

I can't believe you've had

a 20-year career.

Worse, it's a quarter of a century!

And it doesn't show at all!

Blending "Bambino", "I am ill"...

...all your disco hits into one

show is a heck of a challenge.

Confirming that no

other vocal artist...

...has so many strings to her bow.

You recognize Mommy!

Did you miss your mom?

I miss too.

You've been drinking.

Why do I drink?

You can ask yourself.

It's my fault?

Of course it is.

My star!

You smell of Shalimar.

Are you jealous now?

I wouldn't look elsewhere

if you didn't refuse

You disgust me.

How can we carry on

if we don't make love?

How can I,

when you behave like a child?

I swear you'll end up begging me.

You hear?

-You will!

-Let me go!

With these two I can't.

In Italy?

What does it say "ski"?

In Italian it's "scii"

You can take it.

Thank you.

You tell her.

-You must.

-What?

To stop making herself vomit.

I don't know what to say.

-She's scared of getting fat.

-Right.

Same as ever!

-Cheers!

-To your success!

-To my brother Bruno, and everyone!

-Thank you.

To your show at the

Palais des Sports!

Thank you.

-Cheers!

-Happy new year!

-Thank you.

-You're shouting.

-Loudly.

-So what?

-You look stupid in that...

-Don't touch.

Aging stars can be so touchy!

Get out of the restaurant,

of my life, get out!

Excuse me? I don't think

everybody heard you.

Leave!

Bruno. Don't get involved.

Happy new year!

-Richard!

-It is okay.

Richard!

To the Palais des Sports!

Happy new year.

It's over, Richard.

Understand?

-Get out. I don't love you.

-Stop! Calm down.

Just go.

Calm down. After

all I've done for you?

We can't finish like this.

-Please leave.

-We can't finish like this.

-We can't finish like this.

-I don't love you.

Calm down.

Hey! Calm down!

Again. Calm down!

Just stop it!

You can't do this to me.

I promise I'll behave so nice.
