"L'Accordéoniste" became the first million-seller in Piaf's career.[2]
The song tells a story of a prostitute who loves an accordion player (and the music he plays, namely a dance called java). Then he has to leave for the war. She finds refuge in music, dreaming about how they will live together when he comes back.[3][4][5]
