Thank you, thank you for the notification ! I hope I did it right , I'm not used to ! I'm at work . I didn't buy a PC yet. I 'm comparing prices, brands, capacities etc, etc, etc ........... I can be so slow, sometimes, I'm exasperating myself Did you find Pierre Bachelet's songs ? Need some translations ? I remember another song : elle est d'ailleurs. I like him, but I prefer Claude See you soon !

I just was in vacation ! Sorry, I've no time now, but I'll be back tomorrow !!! Bye bye !

First, I just love your new signature and avatar. If you did it, WELL DONE !!! Now I understand what means "being a jerk":roftl: thank you ! Bye-bye and so long !!!

It was a very, very, very long week-end (5 days ) before VACATION ! In 2 days, This is summer (hum hum) vacation for me. Great ! And I'm go to buy a PC ! That's great you enjoy the translation. I'm not sure I understand "beeing a jerk " sorry I know pierre bachelet, but not all his songs. THe best known is "les corons" (miner's houses). It's melodic. He died some years ago. See you soon

:roftl:Oh !! But today is THE day ! I realy love this song. There's Quebec idioms I tried to translate as well as possible. But it's so colourful in french of Quebec ! I just like their accent and when we go to French Canada THEY say WE have an accent (it's true, I know ! ) J'ai les bleus I feel down, about Montreal, a walk, along le grand Canal (the big canal) I feel down about a big and frozen pond where, in winter, children were skating I feel down about an accent, a humour, a girl I met A night I fell in love in the middle of the Jacques Cartier square I feel down about my friend Jean Cayé, the pond, the Terrebonne's mills I feel down about a girl who said she only loved the Robinson street Chorus : I feel down about the end of the earth, a blonde's smile My heart is like Ginette when she sings Paris-Québec I feel down about a distant country where italian is shivering I feel down about a cold country, I feel down about Canada I feel down about a night in Montreal, Leclerc's and Vigneault's songs A concert on the Mont-Royal's side. They dreamt about a more beautiful name When men will live on love, I'll go to Quebec again I'll come to treat my dumps and sing for you in Montreal. Chorus twice He feels nostalgic when he remember MOntreal , it's not just sadness. And me too. I went to Quebec and Montreal some years ago and it was great ! When I listen this Claude's song, I 'm just travelling. Hope you'll enjoy !

HELLO ! OK ! I'll do it tomorrow ! It's the week-end and I'll be alone Bye bye

What a moving answer ! Many thanks to you I'm really happy if my translation brings you something, whatever it's, but in a positive way . Now I'm leaving for two days . What next song do you like ? (if you like !) Many, many apologies, I told you yesterday about Rupert you've a good taste ,instead of you're a girl OF good taste. In french, it's similar Of course, don't hesitate if you want to ask me something ! See you soon !

I see you've good taste ! But in terms of James Bond, I dont' totally agree with you . Timothy Dalton is fine but I prefer first Sean Connery (although the first James Bond seem a little bit quaint) and secondly Daniel Craig. I'm waiting for Quantum of Solace:mf_lustslow: And now, Claude's song ! Je t'apprendrai l'amour Her This night I dreamt I made love This night I dreamt I was close to you This night I dreamt somebody learn me love I was close to you and you were close to me Him I'll learn you love With tender gestures I'll tell you words You dream to hear I'll discover you For the first time When you 'll get to sleep To sleep close to me I'll learn you night In the deep languor On the same ocean We'll leave the world And the first sun Will slip on your skin Impatient to offer you Others new morning (chorus) Her : Learn me love Him : I'll learn you love Her : Where will you take me ? Him : Here, there, everywhere Her : It'll last .....days ? Him : It'll always last HIm I'll learn you life Its joys and its fears I'll make me softness To hold back your laments And your so pure spring Will see the summer to be born When you'll become a woman For my eternity I'll learn you love With tender gestures I'll tell you words You dream to hear I'll learn you by heart At my fingertips When you'll become a woman For the first time Chorus + Her : You'll learn me, promised ? Him : Sworn ! THis is one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard ! Can you tell me (if I'm not indiscreet ) where you heard about Claude for the first time ? When I was a child, I listen to him on radio an saw him on TV shows, but you ? See you soon !

I'm trying to put in this thread a rupert everett's pic. Don't know if I succeeded He's an actor. He's about 50, he's tall, dark and handsome and............ bisexual He's actually in french TV shows cause he wrote a book (he is clever TOO !! ) And Daniel Craig is the new James Bond. I'll tranlate je t'apprendrai l'amour next time (I'll learn you love what a programm !) Now I'm gonna work a bit . pfffffffff ! See you in two days ! bye !

That's terrible ! I just can't imagine such a destruction ! The most important is nobody's hurted But it must be hard to see your home damaged. Aime-moi Love me, my love, love me:mf_lustslow: Listen my prayer You're everything for me Hug me gently Don't leave me alone You don't have the right. Without you, I'm nothing Only a lonely child Only a lost child Forgotten on earth Love me, I need you so much My life is useless If you don't love me. Don't waste time To make promises Kiss me, kiss me And keep me up against you Love me, my love, love me We've got to love eachother Cause we're made for this Hug me hug me I don't want to know Where you'll take me. But there you'll learn How it's good to live These madness's moments When the heart is setting free Love me, my love, love me And if you're only a dream Don't wake me. And if you 'll like some other translations of Claude's songs, just tell me I've a country accent too french country, but country , cause I'm not living in Paris, I'm living in south. Speaking of brits, what about Rupert Everett and Daniel Craig ? See you later !

Yes, it's elle me tue on the CD. Like you, Ilike brit accent, but also american accent ( hard to understand sometimes !). For me, it's exotic and ..... sexy ! But I can't imagine Claude singing in another language than french, except italian. When I translate his songs, I realise how they are like poems. When you're used to hear a song, you don't listen to it really. Next time (in 2 days) I'll translate aime-moi if you're always interested to know the words's meaning ( but I'm sure you understood !) I've heard about a hurricane on Florida. Take care of you ! See you soon!

Hello ! I'm back ! Why you say english is not a beautiful language ? Of course it is ! For example, I can't imagine Mika' s songs in an other language ! I think MY english is just not enough It' s too academic (don't know if it's the right word). I suppose somebody mastering and knowing english poets can do much better. To tranpose language images from Claude's songs to english images . (Seems like chinese, no?) So long !

I go on some web sites, and each times it's "elle me tue", but maybe it's a pun like you said. Still searching ...... Bye bye !

Tonight, I work all night ( my job is a very decent one, I swear !) so I get time to post . I'm glad you appreciate what I did. You made me laugh when you are telling your "language adventures" ! I have too a copy of Claude's greatests hits, but they are among others hits of other artists (Mika of course and some french singers I like). I can be so messed-up ! Time to translation now !!! Elle me tue Her way of banning me To talk, to tell her everything It kills me. She's chilling me with emotion Whore or salon doll, She kills me. She walks backwards, Leopard chameleon It kills me. She makes me airstreams Over the pullover, She kills me. (chorus) She kills me, she kills me, I'm a loser, I'm lost She kills me, but I love her, But I love her still and all, I'm just a bird for the cat, A prey. She kills me, but I love her But I love her still and all, She can do anything, She's everything, everything for me. She knows to sway her's hips, That's not walking, that's dancing, She kills me. She wants bringing me in her wake Like a dog, like an hostage, She kills me. She puts on her eyelids, All the desert's sands, She kills me One say she defeated The hold of the lost time, She kills me . (chorus) once Voilà ! And continuation soon! I 've 3 days off. I'm gone sleep, listen to music:pbjt: and maybe go to the beach bye-bye ! See you soon !

First, thank you for pepe le pew. I know this cartoon character. I don't remember its name in the french translation. And yes he is totally hilarious! Thank you to Niki27 for all these precisions about Claude's life. I did'nt know he's from Belgium ! Of course I supposed his parents or grandparents were italian, because of his name ! And his VOICE ! So, let's go !!!! Madame I was tenderly looking at you I would have to speak to you But I loose heart I'd like to take you along With you at my side But without imagining Imagining a lot of things Things I don't dare to say to you madame And yet I often think about you (chorus) I often think about you madame I often remind you madame I'm happy I get ideas And maybe tomorrow you"ll take my hand I often think about you madame I often remind you madame Don't tell me to leave I could suffer and maybe die My heart is filled with an old loneliness From where will you come North or South To become my habit You'll be my first summer My rose and my secret spring Let me imagine Imagine a lot of things Things I don't dare to say to you madame And yet I often think about you (chorus) 2 times. Well ! My translation don't seem to me so poetic than the original, but I did my best ! If somebody may correct my possible mistakes, you're welcome ! This tread is too "black"! I didn't find the smileys sorry Continuation soon ! Have a nice day ! Love from France !

To HollyD : Sorry if I Didn't answer to you sooner. I don't have a personal computer at home. I can go on MFC only when I'm at work. I don't work every day, I have a special agenda. Tomorrow, I'll traduce " Madame" in english. It 'll be a good exercise for me ! And some other song if you like. By the way, who is pepe the pew? Bye-bye ! See you soon !

Your thread made me smile ! I supposed to nobody knew this artist, except in France, Belgium and may-be french Canada. I love him too. I love his songs, strong and romantic at the same time. And it reminds me when I was a child. Sometimes, we can hear some of them. Recently in a movie film, "camping". My favourite is "Madame". It's so delicacy and ... sensual You have musical ears. It's not easy to sing in a language which is not yours. When I'm trying to sing in english, it's everything except english !!! Bye-bye and love from France ! :thumb_yello:

Sorry, I'm absent-minded today !

I vote for starrats. I'm just in love with Mika devil's eyes and his angel's wings.

I love Stephen King's world. I read some books he wrote, and i'm determined to go on. Last weeks, i read "different seasons", and a short story in it was very disturbing. It's a king of unwholesome game between a secondary school pupil and an old man who was a nazi in his youth. Very, very brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! And it's a great new he like Mika !

I've never heard about what influenced Mika to write his songs, except "Grace Kelly". So thank you for your post. It's very complete. My best favourite is "my interpretation". bye bye !!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKA !!! You and your songs changed my world !!! :flowers2: :happybday:
