"Symphone" is a song by Andre Tabet & Roger Bernstein.

Marie Magdalene "Marlene" Dietrich (December 27, 1901 – May 6,1992) was a German-American actress and singer. Dietrich maintained popularity throughout her unusually long show business career by continually re-inventing herself, professionally and characteristically. In 1920s Berlin, she acted on the stage and in silent films. Her performance as Lola-Lola in The Blue Angel (1930), directed by Josef von Sternberg, brought her international fame resulting in a contract with Paramount Pictures. Dietrich starred in Hollywood films such as Morocco (1930), Shanghai Express (1932) and Desire (1936). Dietrich successfully traded on her glamorous persona and "exotic" (to Americans) looks, cementing her super-stardom and becoming one of the highest-paid actresses of the era. Dietrich became a U.S. citizen in 1939, and throughout the Second World War she was a high-profile frontline entertainer. Although she still made occasional films after the end of the Second World War, Dietrich spent most of the 1950s to the 1970s touring the world as a marquee live-show performer. Dietrich was noted for her humanitarian efforts during the War, housing German and French exiles, providing financial support, and even advocating for their US citizenship. For her work improving morale on the front lines in WWII, she received honors from the US, France, Belgium, and Israel. In 1999, the American Film Institute named Dietrich the ninth-greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema.

Symphonie, symphonie d'un jour
Qui chante toujours
Dans mon coeur lourd

Symphonie d'un soir de printemps
C'est toi que j'entends
Depuis longtemps

Tes accords ont gardé leur parfum
Je revois des souvenirs défunts
Symphonie... Symphonie

Et j'entends, grande à l'infini
Comme une harmonie
Ma symphonie
