Nino Ferrer - Le Sud
C’est un endroit qui ressemble à la Louisiane
It's a place that looks like Louisiana
À l’Italie
Like Italy
Il y a du linge étendu sur la terrasse
There is laundry hung out on the patio
Et c’est joli
And it's pretty
On dirait le Sud
It looks like the South
Le temps dure longtemps
Time lasts longer
Et la vie sûrement
And life for sure
Plus d’un million d’années
More than a million years
Et toujours en été
And it's always summer
Y’a plein d’enfants qui se roulent sur la pelouse
There are a lot of children rolling on the lawn
Y’a plein de chiens
Lot of dogs
Y’a même un chat, une tortue, des poissons rouges
Even a cat, a turtle, golfish
Il ne manque rien
Nothing's missing
On dirait le Sud
It looks like the South
Le temps dure longtemps
Time lasts longer
Et la vie sûrement
And life for sure
Plus d’un million d’années
More than a million years
Et toujours en été
And it's always summer
Un jour ou l’autre, il faudra qu’il y ait la guerre
Sooner or later there will be war
On le sait bien
We do know it
On n’aime pas ça mais on ne sait pas quoi faire
No one likes that but no one knows what to do
On dit, c’est le destin
It's said to be the fate
Tant pis pour le Sud
It's too bad for the South
C’était pourtant bien
It's was nice though
On aurait pu vivre
We could have lived
Plus d’un million d’années
For more than a million years
Et toujours en été.
And it would have always been in summer.

Bravo Enoo!
You eventually decided it!
Well since I'm Greek I will post a tottaly Greek song in French!
And yes it sounds MUCH better in French I can assure you!
Nikos Aliagas - Le souffle
[Gb8-QTbblVY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gb8-QTbblVY[/video]"Gilgamesh, where are you hurrying to?
You will never find that life for which you are looking.
When the gods created man they allotted to him death,
but life they retained in their own keeping" -
This thread wouldn't be there without your encouragement!
Σ' ευχαριστώ!
Nice song!!
Jean-Jacques Goldmann - Bonne Idée

She does have a charming smile
Les Tit' Nassels - Emmène-moi
[WD2RUZ23HMU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD2RUZ23HMU[/video]
T'aurais voulu être le héros qui me sauve de la noyade,
You'd have liked to be the hero that saves me from drowning
Me sortir la tête de l'eau, puis me dire "Viens, on s'évade!",
That gets my head out of water, and then tells me: « Come on, let's escape! »
Sur les routes de bohème, pour une randonnée de dingue,
For a crazy hiking on bohemian roads
Faire un signe à ceux que j'aime, que j'suis vivant sous ma carlingue
Waving to whose I love, saying that I'm alive beneath my shellLast edited by Enoo; 11-25-2012 at 05:06 AM.

This might be old but still ... TOO catchy!
These were some trully inspired lyrics Enoo!!!

Your songs' selections are amazing, Amethyste !!
One of my favorite French bands:
Noir Désir - Le vent nous portera

Thanks Enoo (but you must not press the "Thanks" button unless I create an "important" post - a translation for example).
Well, according to "Le vent nous portera" video there is one conclusion:
"If you wanna have some GOOD TIME on the beach .... leave the kid at home for god's shake"
__________________________________________
My turn ....
A trully OLD song. But this is a 2002 cover of the original 1952's performance for the "French Cancan" movie.
Patrick Bruel and Francis Cabrel in La Complainte De La Butte
Extremely touching lyrics .....

And I consider your posts on this thread as important posts, for they are of great quality and musicality! But okay, I won't overly thank you...
...At least not with the thanks button!
Haha indeed
I couldn't agree more!
Here's a cover of Chimène Badi performing Serge Reggiani's song Ma liberté.
[oJfquHbUVx0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJfquHbUVx0[/video]
Here's the translation.
By the way she's also done a very nice cover of Je viens du Sud (Michel Sardou). Song & translation -
A DIVA that did not interpret the song - A once in a life experience
That's all I wanted. Thanks for the comment! And I enjoyed your Polina Gagarina post too much !!!!!!!!!!! (Check the reaction
)
WOW! Powerfull lyrics indeed! And it also has "Happy End - Love message meaning"....
____________________________________
A DIVA that did not interpret the song - A once in a life experience
This is not about the mediocre song, the rather plain lyrics....
It's all about people's way to express themselves, about how to make the DIVA grow as a human being!
Comme un fou, comme un soldat...
Comme un loup, comme un roi...

How touching, beautiful this is!! I couldn't help shivering while watching... A moment of great intensity between her and her audience...
...Lara Fabian as I've never seen her!! You really have amazing videos to offer!!!
Haha I've seen that!Yes, isn't she irresistible? ^^

Here's something a bit different, something instrumental: Air, a band of French touch, also called French house:
Air - La femme d'argent (The silver woman)
[jZfPXXQs_Qg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZfPXXQs_Qg[/video] -
Je suis le roi, le roi des cons ......
Wow! This reminds me of mid 60's early 70's.
Bass player does some wonderfull stuff in this vid.
Actually bass is the singer of this "song".
The only problem is that it's TOO LONG to listen to this two times in a row.
______________________________________________
I've already said that I don't consider Lara's "Je t'aime" as a serious song....
But this is not the case with the following....
An INCREDIBLE song ... music and orchestration are superb.
But these lyrics .... actually these aren't lyrics, this is a poetical manifesto!
C'est moi le maître du feu, le maître du jeu
Le maître du monde, et vois ce que j'en ai fait
Une terre glacée, une terre brûlée
La terre des hommes que les hommes abandonnent!

Le temps des tempêtes arrive
Avant qu'on l'ait prédit
Amours impossibles
Défaites, ironies.
Quand tout s'abîme
Quand même nos rêves fuient.
Il ne reste qu'une île, un port, un parti
On n'est riche que de ses amis
C'est dit, c'est dit. -
My passion for Pink Floyd made me love pieces that go on and on...
Flawless realization and very strong meaningful lyrics! I adore this song!
Bonsoir Pattmoreira and welcome here!!This thread gets more and more gorgeous everytime someone posts a song on it
Calogero is kind of a monstrous composer!

This one's mainly poetic. If I had to draw a picture of a modern "cursed poet", it would probably have Raphaël's face.
Raphaël & Jean-Louis Aubert - Sur la route

Here's this english translation. -
Merci
I really like Raphaël. Great artist.

Welcome onboard Patricia!
You're taste in music is more than appriciated for all these years!
Calogero ....
I tottaly agree about the "cursed poet" comment.
As for the song, if it wasn't this AWESOME video, I would have liked it much less than I currently do.
Yeap! We're talking about a GOOD song and one hell of a MASSIVE hit!

When it comes to french music I will always think about "Je suis malade" and its thousands versions. Dalida & Serge Lama, israeli by Harel Skaat but Lara Fabian... c'est quelque chose.
