Le Téléphone Pleure

"Le Téléphone Pleure" was a 1974 hit single by French artist Claude François.

This version was so successful that a film was made based on its lyrics, Piange... il telefono.

It was directed by Lucio De Caro and starred Domenico Modugno, Francesca Guadagno, Marie Yvonne Danaud, Claudio Lippi and János Koós.

Argentine singer King Clave recorded a Spanish version of the song titled "Mi corazón lloró" ("My heart cried"), which topped the Mexican charts in 1975 and was also a hit throughout Latin America.

At the end of the story, the man, faced with the final rejection of his wife (which the child has told him), says: "Je serais demain au fond d'un train" (literally: "I'll be at the bottom of a train tomorrow"), which means that the man is going to move out permanently.
