In the nineteenth century, milord (also milor) (pronounced "mee-lor") was well-known as a word which continental Europeans (especially French) whose jobs often brought them into contact with travellers (innkeepers, guides, etc.) commonly used to address Englishmen or male English-speakers who seemed to be upper-class (or whom they wished to flatter) – even though the English-language phrase "my Lord" (the source of "milord") played a somewhat minor role in the British system of honorific forms of address, and most of those addressed as "milord" were not in fact proper "lords" (members of the nobility) at all. The word "milord" was occasionally borrowed back into the English language in order to be used as a sarcastic or jocular reference to British travellers abroad.
(Most English-speaking tourists in the 1700s had to be rich to undertake the "Grand Tour".)
The most famous usage in recent years has been the 1959 French song "Milord" by Edith Piaf.
In Greece the equivalent was O Lordos; Lord Byron was known as "O Lordos" (The Lord), or "Lordos Veeron" (as the Greeks pronounce it), causing things as varied as hotels, ships, cricket teams, roads and even suburbs to be called "Lord Byron" today.

Genres: Music,Comme au premier jour toujours, toujours
Je me souviens du temps, du temps charmant
Où sous le cerisier le coeur grisé tu m'as parlé d'amour
Comme au premier jour toujours, toujours
Je revois le matin où le destin mettait sur mon chemin
Dans le creux de ta main mes plus beaux lendemains
Mon horizon mon rayon de soleil
C'est toi dès ton réveil qui fais ma plus jolie chanson
Comme au premier jour toujours, toujours
Le printemps refleurit quand tu souris
Et me donne la joie de te sentir à moi autant qu'au premier jour
Comme au premier jour toujours, toujours
Nous irons tous les deux heureux, heureux
Sur le même chemin cueillir des lendemains qui n'auront pas de fin
Mon horizon mon rayon de soleil
C'est toi dès le réveil qui fais ma plus jolie chanson
Comme au premier jour toujours, toujours
Enchaînés désormais à tout jamais grandira notre amour
Qui sera pour toujours plus fort qu'au premier jour
