MIREJ MATE: I LIKE TO SING IN RUSSIAN.
Nikolay MIHAJLOV.
The well-known French singer likes to come to Moscow. It
Tours are planned for March. And on the threshold of it on ours
To the request with Mirej there was an observer of a weekly journal "Bet-match"
Jean-Claude Zana.
- All of us see you in France less often. I understand, that Mirej Mate with
Impatience wait abroad. Where you sing?
- In Russia, in Germany, in Italy: It is possible to tell, that I 20 times
Has gone round globe. Yes, houses I happen seldom, but to myself I repeat:
I am proud, that I the Frenchwoman. Not so many the French actors here
So travel all over the world. I sing in nine languages: English,
German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Finnish and, of course,
Russian:
- And what songs in your execution like Russians more
In total?
- When I act in Moscow, public accepts excellently. It
Me so touches: I would tell, that Russians well know
My those, the first songs - "My credo", melodies Piaf, "the Life in
Pink "and Russian tunes. For example," Time of lilies of the valley "or" Most
Beautiful years in Moscow ".
- Mirej why you so like Moscow?
- I like lovely Muscovites. During my last
Tours me fell asleep roses. And I always speak to journalists:
"Russia always slightly with me because I do not leave with
Russian roses ". In hotel" п п я п п?п?п п я "where I stopped,
One of rooms was all in colours, it is so much bouquets to me have presented. And
My sister has thought up: it has dried petals of these roses, I have grasped
Them with itself to Paris. With these colours presented to me I
Looked in Russian orthodox temples, leaving there these
Bouquets. These churches so are beautiful and so mention feelings. I -
The believer, at me is my belief. It is very important to have it and to believe in
People and in the God. When I came with colours into church, in them
Always there were so much people. And as it was pleasant to look at persons,
On which there were smiles at the sight of colours. By the way, I bring
Flowers and in the French cathedrals. There is even a person, which to me at
It helps. And here in Moscow in church I bear flowers.
- You set of times happened in Moscow. What memoirs
The brightest?
- Chorus of Red Army. In him such gentle and such deep
Voices. Similar in the world is not present more. As soon as you say "chorus
To red Army ", at once you speak to yourself: the highest quality,
The present professionalism. It also is Russia.
Yes, I was in Russia time and again. Last - in 1996. Long and
Tours in 1987 were long. Then and in Moscow and Petersburg in
Halls every evening was going to nearly on 20 thousand spectators. As
It was perfect!
And Moscow to me was for ever remembered by the hospitality and
Warm reception which to me here rendered. I cry each time,
When I get to this city. If me will ask, what your public
The most liked, I will respond without hesitation - Russian.
- You and could become Russian?
- Probably, in the sense that I would sing and would submit myself in
To certain manner. At Russian this manner is that, that it
Breaks off soul. I do not know, I could such achieve. And again
I come back to colours. After each song someone rises on
The scene is presented also to me by a bouquet. For giving a gift it is huge
Expenditure of money. That is why a part of Russia always with me - them
Gifts go directly from heart.
- And what you bring to Paris from Russia?
- Well-known Russian nested dolls for relatives. My friend
Artist Glazunov has presented to me an icon. It so is pleasant to me.
I grasp with myself and memoirs on Russian public. For example,
When I was in Moscow in the penultimate time, one spectator
Has shown me a tattoo on a hand - "Mirej". I have been touched. And in
Time of last tours it has again approached to me and has asked,
Whether I remember it. Yes, me accept in Moscow as a tsarevna. In the Kremlin
In my honour have exposed sentry, and fanfares have sung my songs: Russia
Now varies - and changes for the better. France in eyes
Russians are taken by a special place. As, by the way, and the French fashion.
- When you in Moscow, whether it is possible to find time, that somewhere
To get out?
- I was in one monastery. There to us have presented extremely
The tasty honey made under the special recipe. And then monks
Have invited us to have a dinner. I have bought there palehskie caskets - for
maman and for itself. At me their whole collection.
- Tell, Mirej, whether there are in this world such people, with which you
Admire?
- Mine maman. Now to it of 76 years. As she worked all the
Life to lift us, children, - water heated on the furnace,
perestiryvala manually a heap of linen. Earlier never took
Holidays, had not a rest. Now thanks to my trade it
Travels all over the world with all comfort which has deserved. In
I it here brought the first Moscow tours: maman
Dreamt to see this city.
- Whether the truth, that your family lived in due time in the municipal
To apartment how there live till now some Russian?
- We in the childhood slept in one bed six together - three in
Headboard, and more three - in feet. Sometimes happened all the same
Coldishly: we did not have a heating.
- And what at you the most light family memoirs?
- Christmas. We on it always gather. We sit together
With the daddy - and this happiness. Now the father already is not present with us. But family
The tradition to mark Christmas together was saved. Know, how much
Us is going to behind a table, including grandsons? 40 persons!
- Let's return by your childhood. You remained are happy and then,
When the family table was rather poor?
- Yes, we ate meat not every day, but between us existed
Such love, such heat: And it gave forces. We borrowed
Each other clothes. We had also suits for a Sunday mass.
I am proud of that among fourteen my brothers and sisters -
The most senior. My trade brings to me a lot of pleasure. And in
The childhood, from thirteen and a half years, I already worked at factory:
Helped my parents. After all before the unique worker in
To family there was a daddy. I with pleasure bore earned in a family. But as
A little was this money. I very much was on friendly terms with my little sister Monik.
She now lives together with me. And in the childhood co-ordinated for
Elder sister a tail. I rose every morning at 5 o'clock and with
13 to 20 worked at factory. It was necessary to earn: a part of money
Went on training to singing. Dreamt to become the singer. And the dream has come true.

I worry before performance.

I put on only at Ljakrua. All my dresses for a scene - only from
It. Ljakrua - one of the greatest French couturiers. But it so
It is modest. On everyone defile public suits to it a storm of an applause and
Falls asleep colours.
