Il pleut sur la route (Auch in trüben Tagen) ... Mario Melfi / Bordas (1935)

"Il pleut sur la route" (Rain falls in the street) is a tremendously popular French tango from 1935. Today it is best known in the version recorded by Tino Rossi for Columbia. Even though many versions exist, the recordings made by female singers are somewhat rarer. Today's video features the orchestra of Mario Melfi with vocals by Marcelle Bordas. Mario Melfi (1905-70) was an Argentinian bandleader and composer who arrived in Madrid in 1923 and later settled in Paris where he recorded many sides for Columbia and Disque Gramophone/La Voix de son Maître. Marcelle Bordas (1897 or 1907 - 1968) was singer with a powerful voice who achieved the height of her popularity between 1935 and 1945 and is best known for songs such as „Ah que la France est belle!”. The composer Henry Himmel (1910-1996 - source : Bibletango.com) was a prolific composer and Tino Rossi recorded many of his hit songs such as "Partir un jour" , "Bohémienne aux yeux noirs", "Au delà des nuages"... Apparently Himmel was of Austrian origin which might explain the German title "Auch in trüben Tagen" (Lit. In dark/sad days as well). I don't know of any recorded German versions of this beautiful tango. „Il pleut sur la route“ was recently (2020) recorded by the famous Franco-Italian tenor Roberto Alagna.
