Comme un Soleil Mal Luné Lyrics/Discussion

To be fair, we have the lyrics for a few of the French songs on the new album, courtesy of Melgine. Here's the first.

Qui n'a pas envie de briller
Qui ne décroche pas un sourire
Ni la lune ça va sans dire

Je suis comme un soleil mal luné
Qui veut seulement rester couché
Qui jette un froid en s'éclipsant
C'est vrai je plombe l'ambiance gaiement

Je suis seul tout seul
Sans ta petite gueule si seul
Comme le soleil
On me coupe la lumière quoi que je paie

Et comme un soleil mal luné
Dont tu préfères te protéger
À chaude larme j'ai beau pleurer
Mais sur moi elle sèche vite fait

Je ne demande pas la lune
Ni la gloire ni la fortune
Juste du soleil dans ma vie
Sauf que le soleil it is me

Je suis seul tout seul
Sans ta petite gueule si seul
Comme le soleil
On me coupe la lumière quoi que je paie

Je suis comme un soleil sans chapeau
Un roi soleil sans son château
Dis moi pourquoi toi tu m'évites
Même quand je me pointe au zénith

L'amour c'est con comme la lune
Qu'est ce qu'on ferait pas pour des prunes
Je ne dors plus sans pilule
J'avance d'une heure et je recule

Je suis seul tout seul
Sans ta petite gueule si seul
Comme le soleil
On me coupe la lumière quoi que je paie
Quoi que je paie

Just the piano and perfect voice. What else do we need. And he said he is not romantic. This song is essence of romantic. Again I understand nothing accept he sings something about sun and moon. But sounds so sweet. Like a lullaby. I hope that lyrics are not horror or something bitter.



I can easily imagine this song in a movie.
not MYH or OOl movie, but proper one. French if I can choose.

Like a sun in a bad mood.

I'm like a sun in a bad mood
which doesn't want to shine
which doesn't get smiled at
even with the moon (so...that's quite something)

I'm like a sun in a bad mood
which doesn't want to rise (in French "to rise" & "to get up" = se lever)
which
It's true, I joyfully cast a cloud over the atmosphere


I'm like a sun in a bad mood
which doesn't want to rise
which slips away, ruining the ambiance
It's true, I joyfully cast a cloud over the atmosphere

I'm on my own
Without your pretty face, so alone
Like the sun
Whatever I pay, I have lights cut (refers to bills)

And like a sun in a bad mood,
from which you'd rather protect yourself
I can burst into tears
but ???????? (uncomplete)

I'm not asking for something impossible
(= Je ne demande pas la lune > I'm not asking for the moon)
nor for glory nor for wealth
I just want sun in my life
but it doesn't work as the sun is me

I'm on my own
Without your pretty face, so alone
Like the sun
Whatever I pay, I have my lights cut

I'm like a sun without a hat
A king without his castle
Tell me why you avoid me
Even when I'm at the zenith

Love, it's as stupid as the moon
What wouldn't we do for nothing (+ prune= plum)
I can't sleep without pills
I put an hour forward and then back
(refers to changing time + stepping forward and then back)

I'm on my own
Without your pretty face, so alone
Like the sun
Whatever I pay, I have my lights cut


Voilà... It's a bit weird to translate it into English as they play with the several meanings words have in French :'>

Like "s"éclipser" (refers to an eclipse, the sun disappears...)
The word for "pretty face" is common but pretty unformal... Maybe there's a far better equivelent in English :'X

If you have any question, I'm sure the otehr French speakers & I'll do our best to help x)

No idea if the lyrics are good, bad or ugly but his voice is exceptionally beautiful on this and his accent sounds lovely. This is the only one of the new French songs I like. (Along with Elle Me Dit.)
