Shine Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Nice try from Mika and I'm happy he made a single in French but honestly I expect more from him. He basically hasn't changed the motifs and sense of his lyrics as far as I understand, but assume it sounds a bit different in French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lena Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Really sorry I woke up at 2:30 am to hear Mika singing Yelle with some electronically manipulated vocals. Not be so strict, Christine!. This is new for Mika. And all music in World is sung already and it is very difficult to think up some new style. Certainly, it is possible to try to sing and simultaneously to hiccup. Any did not sing this still , I think... I've got the lyrics downThere are a couple of parts that I didn't really understand, I'm sure someone else could help out. I'll see if I can translate it now Elle me dit écris une chanson contente pas une chanson déprimante, une chanson que tout le monde aime. Elle me dit tu deviendras milliardaire. T'auras de quoi être fier. Ne finis pas comme ton père. Elle me dit ne t'enferme pas dans ta chambre…..dit moi c'est quoi ton problème Elle me dit qu'est ce que t'as t'as l'air coincé(?) , t'as depense ton ticket(?) Tu finira comme ton frère Elle me dit, Elle me dit c'est t'as vie fais ce que tu veut tampis un jour tu comprendras un jour tu t'en voudras Elle me dit t'es trop nul sort un peu de t'as bulle. Tu fais n'importe quoi on dirais que t'aime ca. Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie. Pourquoi tu gache ta vie. Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie. Danse danse danse danse elle me dit danse. x2 Elle me dit fait comme les autres garcons va taper dans un ballon, tu deviendra populaire. Elle me dit, qu'est-ce que tu fous sur internet, ca va pas bien dans ta tete. Regards le temps que tu perds. Elle me dit pourquoi tu te ……. tous le temps on dirais que t'as huit ans. C'est pas comme ca que tu vas plaire Elle me dit un jour je ne serais plus et c'est quand elle me dit qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime. Elle me dit. Elle me dit, c'est t'as vie fais ce que tu veut tampis. Un jour tu comprendras un jour tu t'en voudras Elle me dit t'es trop nul sort un peu de t'as bulle. Tu fais n'importe quoi on dirais que t'aime ca. Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie. Pourquoi tu gache ta vie. Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie. Danse danse danse danse elle me dit danse. x2 Elle me dit, t'as pas encore des cheveux blancs mais t'auras bientôt 30 ans, faudra que tu te reveilles. Elle me dit tu es toujours un enfant tu ne seras jamais grand. Et moi je suis deja vielle Elle me dit regardes un peu tes amis qu'est-ce qu'ils vont faire de leur vie, y' a de quoi se foutre en l'air. Elle me dit, oui un jour tu me tueras et c'est quand elle me dit ca qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime. Elle me dit danse, elle me dit danse danse danse Elle me dit, c'est t'as vie fais ce que tu veut tampis. Un jour tu comprendras un jour tu t'en voudras Elle me dit t'es trop nul sort un peu de t'as bulle. Tu fais n'importe quoi on dirais que t'aime ca. Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie. Pourquoi tu gache ta vie. Pourquoi tu gaches t'a vie. Danse danse danse danse elle me dit danse Thank you for the original , Nana! Unless nobody had recorded a song???? I do not trust. Yeah, you're right. I was typing too quickly and I misspelled it. I've edited it now. If anyone finds other mistakes please let me know. Translation is roughly: She tells me to write a happy song, not a depressing one, a song that everybody loves. She tells me I'll be a billionaire. I'll have something to be proud of. Don't end up like your father. She tells me, don't lock yourself up in your room [some part I don't understand] Tell me what your problem is. She tells me what's up with you, you look stuck [other part I'm not sure about] You'll end up like your brother. She tells me, it's your life. Do what you want, whatever. One day you'll understand and then you'll blame yourself/feel bad about it. She tells me you're so lame, get out of your bubble. You're doing whatever you fancy, it looks like you enjoy it. Why are you wasting your life? Dance dance, she tells me to dance. She tells me to be like other boys and go hit a ball. Then you'll be popular. She tells me what are you doing on the internet? There's something wrong in your head. Look at all the time you're wasting. Why do you [something I don't understand] you look like an 8 year old. You're not going to please anybody in that way. She tells me that one day she won't be there anymore and it's when she tells me this that she's telling me something I like to hear. She tells me, you don't have white hair yet but you're almost 30, you should wake up now. She tells me, you're still a child, you'll never grow up and I'm already old. She tells me, look at your friends and what they're doing with their lives. She tells me, one day I'll kill her and when she tells me this she's telling me something I like to hear. Here's (a try of) the translation, thanks to @nana06 for posting She said writing a song not just depressing song, a song that everyone loves. She said you will become a billionaire. You'll have to be proud. Do not finish like your father. She told me do not lock yourself in your room ... .. tell me what's your problem She told me what you got caught you look (?), Did you spend your ticket (?) You will end up like your brother She said, She said that life did you do what you want tamps one day you will understand one day you wish thee She said you're too bad you got out a little bubble. Anything you do say that love is ca. Why you are wasting your life. Why are you wasting your life. Why you are wasting your life. Dance dance dance dance dance she said dance. x2 She said that like other boys, you will kick a ball, you will become popular. She said, what are you doing on the internet, it's going wrong in your head. Regards time you lose. She told me why you ... .... every time you say you got eight years. It's not how you go please She said one day I would not be and that's when she said she told me something I love. She said. She told me, it's life you got do what you want to Tampa. One day you will understand one day you wish thee She said you're too bad you got out a little bubble. Anything you do say that love is ca. Why you are wasting your life. Why are you wasting your life. Why you are wasting your life. Dance dance dance dance dance she said. x2 She said, you do not even have white hair, but you'll have almost 30 years, you have to wake up. She said you're still a child, you'll never grow up. And I am already old She said some friends look at what they will do with their lives, it has something to **** up. She said, yes you will kill me one day and that's when she said what she told me something I love. She said dance, she said dance dance dance She told me, it's life you got do what you want to Tampa. One day you will understand one day you wish thee She said you're too bad you got out a little bubble. Anything you do say that love is ca. Why you are wasting your life. Why are you wasting your life. Why you are wasting your life. Dance dance dance dance dance she said dance. Thank you girls!! I'm going to translate on russian that to know more:wink2: but.... wasn´t "elle" his mom? so it´s from his childhood again?? "go play with a ball"?? cause obviously his mom is not thinking TODAY that he´s wasting his time.... isn´t she?? I have thought of His Mum at once when we have learned the name of the song '' ELLE...'' "Well well... again about mum' I was thinking ... Love this song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Am I the only one after all who isn't happy with the song? Look I will probably like anything that Mika does on some level because I am open to all different kinds of music and he knows how to write a catchy melody. This sounds almost identical to Yelle and I love her so it's not terrible...but can't say I'm happy with the vocals. He's a good singer and this sounds like the same autotuned manipulation they do to no-talents who can't sing at all. And because it sounds like Yelle it's not exactly original or interesting.

Miss.roxy Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Am I the only one after all who isn't happy with the song? Just a thought that popped into my mind: Does somebody try to land a summerhit? The sound, the melody, the 'dance-stuff'... Just thinking... I don´t know why you dislike the song I think French people deserve him more than British ones, sometimes.. He grown there, he lived there, he loves France, I think, why should he continue in that British production when he´s not even nominated for Brit awards this year? I think he deserves more attention from UK. But that´s only my opinion. Anyway, Elle me dit is only bonus track for his next-coming album, so don´t worry, French will appear only few times. And I love that he´s not always the same, he tries to change a little but he keeps the basic of his music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
