Mylène Farmer - Du Temps & Sois Moi - Be Me

I just can't believe that no one has asked this before (for they trully are some brill songs), but is there anyone out there who could translate the two latest songs, sang by Mylène Farmer? Them being «Du Temps» and «Sois Moi - Be Me» (both on her just released greatest hits album «2001.2011»).

Merci beaucoup in advance!


«Du Temps»

Suppose que je te dise
L'amour en est la cause
Que nos chemins de vie
Parfois nous superposent

C'est le mien
J'm'en fous
Mon chagrin
C'est tout
L'antidote au pire
L'anti "pas mourir"

Moi je veux vivre, aller haut
Pouvoir me dire que c'est beau
Mais pas du temps, du temps, du temps
Il te faut du temps,
Du temps, du temps, non non non

Suppose que je te dise
Au fond de moi sommeille
Un continent de vie
De tes monts et merveilles

C'est le mien
Mais vous
Mon destin
S'enroule
Autour de tes reins
Amour je sens bien

Moi je veux vivre, aller haut
Pouvoir me dire que c'est beau
Mais pas du temps, du temps, du temps
il te faut du temps,
Du temps, du temps, non non non

Moi je veux vivre, aller haut
Pouvoir me dire que c'est beau
Mais pas du temps, du temps, du temps
Il te faut du temps,
Du temps, du temps, non non non



«Sois Moi - Be Me»

be me, be me, be me.
be me, be me, oh-oh !
(répéte x3)

dis-moi mon autre, dis-moi schizophrénie.
deviens mon coeur, deviens mélancolie.
et dans la solitude de mes nuits.
deviens moi, deviens toi, sois moi, be me ...

be me, be me, be me.
be me, be me, oh-oh !
(répéte x7)

ah...

je sens montée en moi tes doigts qui glissent.
férocité de nos deux corps qui jouissent.
j'entend tes mots, ta voie a l'infinie
deviens moi, deviens toi, sois moi, be me

Out of the entire 162 million people that speak French, either as a first language or as another language, there must be at least ONE who can translate the above songs… right??? S'il vous plaît???

Your prayers have been answered

«Du Temps»
"Time"

Suppose que je te dise
Suppose I tell you
L'amour en est la cause
That love is the reason
Que nos chemins de vie
That our paths in life
Parfois nous superposent
sometimes cross

C'est le mien
This is mine
J'm'en fous
I don't care
Mon chagrin
My grief
C'est tout
That's all
L'antidote au pire
The antidote for the worst things
L'anti "pas mourir"
The anti-"not dying"

Moi je veux vivre, aller haut
Me, I want to live, to go high (go far)
Pouvoir me dire que c'est beau
To be able to tell myself it's beautiful
Mais pas du temps, du temps, du temps
But no time, time, time
Il te faut du temps,
You need time,
Du temps, du temps, non non non
Time, time, no no no

Suppose que je te dise
Suppose I tell you
Au fond de moi sommeille
At the bottom of me lies dormant
Un continent de vie
A continent of life
De tes monts et merveilles
Of your mountains and wonders

C'est le mien
This is mine
Mais vous
But you
Mon destin
My destiny
S'enroule
curls
Autour de tes reins
around your waist
Amour je sens bien
I feel love well (or "love, I feel well", maybe, but that wouldn't be really exact)

Moi je veux vivre, aller haut
Pouvoir me dire que c'est beau
Mais pas du temps, du temps, du temps
il te faut du temps,
Du temps, du temps, non non non

Moi je veux vivre, aller haut
Pouvoir me dire que c'est beau
Mais pas du temps, du temps, du temps
Il te faut du temps,
Du temps, du temps, non non non



«Sois Moi - Be Me»

be me, be me, be me.
be me, be me, oh-oh !
(répéte x3)

dis-moi mon autre, dis-moi schizophrénie.
tell me, my other, tell me schizophrenia
deviens mon coeur, deviens mélancolie.
become my heart, become melancholy.
et dans la solitude de mes nuits.
and in the solitude of my nights
deviens moi, deviens toi, sois moi, be me ...
become me, become me, be me, be me...

be me, be me, be me.
be me, be me, oh-oh !
(répéte x7)

ah...

je sens montée en moi tes doigts qui glissent.
I feel rising in me your creeping fingers
férocité de nos deux corps qui jouissent.
ferocity of our two bodies that enjoy
j'entend tes mots,ta voie a l'infinie*
I wait for your words, your way has the infinity
deviens moi, deviens toi, sois moi, be me
become me, become me, be me, be me

*I found another version of the text that says here "ta voix à l'infini" - that would mean "your voice to infinity"

Grand merci beaucoup, Albruna!!!! God, you even went the extra mile by explaining how the lyrics of «Sois Moi - Be Me» might have several explanations/interpertations!! Since it's part of her latest greatest hits («2001.2011»; a greatest hits that does NOT include any lyrics whatsoever! ), I guess it leaves it rather open for 'free interpretation'. However, I reckon you're hearing it more correctly; it makes WAY more sense that way, really (one just have to take a look at the previous line: 'your words'… I'd reckon something with 'voice' seems more logical than 'way'). But that's just 'simple moi'. :P

Again, grand merci, Albruna!!!!!!

Btw… maybe Mylène is just doing it to semi-pester us all: When she sings "Amour je sens bien" in «Du Temps», it could mean "I feel love well" or "love, I feel well".
And in «Sois Moi - Be Me», the line after "j'entend tes mots" could be interpreted in several ways, like "ta voie a l'infinie" and "ta voix à l'infini"…

God, she's crafty with words!!!

That seems to be a tendency in the French language however... I mean you swallow half the word everytime you say something anyway, so the possibilities are unlimited

I guess one is extremely pleased if one can find the original lyrics of the artist in an album booklet or something like that: at least then you know what he/she is singing. :P

There are many ways to translate Mylène Farmer's lyrics because even in french sometimes it's complicated to understand.
Personnaly i need to see the lyrics cause sometimes i don't get the words or i understand something completely different
