"Toi" by Esther Granek and "My Mind is a Stranger Without You" by A.R. Rahman ("Bande Originale")[modifier le code]

I wish to present here brief comparison (not a full comparison table).

ALL the French lyrics in the song “My Mind Is a Stranger Without You" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZpqKArsjtw (henceforth "the song") are taken from the first five stanzas of the poem "Toi" https://www.poetica.fr/poeme-903/esther-granek-toi/ (henceforth "the poem", first published in 1978), as follows:

i) The first two stanzas are used word by word, line by line, without any change of order:

Toi c’est un mot

Toi c’est une voix

Toi c’est tes yeux et c’est ma joie

Toi c’est si beau

Toi c’est pour moi

Toi c’est bien là et je n’y crois

ii) The third stanza is first used as a mix, where after the first line comes the second half of the third line (repeated several times throughout the song):

Toi c’est soleil … - de chaque instant

iii) Than come the first two lines of the fifth stanza:

Toi c’est distant…

Toi c’est changeant…

iv) And the first two lines of the third stanza (word by word), repeated twice:

Toi c’est soleil

Toi c’est printemps

v) And the forth stanza:

Toi c’est présent

Toi c’est bonheur

Toi c’est arc-en-ciel dans mon coeur

vi) “Toi c’est soleil “ is repeated several times, not such in the poem (I skip other details).

In total, the French lyrics make about 80% or more of the lyrics of the song "My Mind is a Stranger Without You" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZpqKArsjtw. No credit has been given, no royalties paid, by the claimed writers A.R. Rahman or Solange Merindian. However, a few music applications did spot (using Musixmatch) the strong resemblance to the poem "Toi" https://www.poetica.fr/poeme-903/esther-granek-toi/ (despite the fact that the film song lyrics were not published), and added the name Esther Granek as a second writer (in small letters though):
