guylainem123 Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 oh! interesting to learn that he sang "Elle me dit" in english... I'm quite curious to hear it but honestly, I don't see the point of writing songs in french if it's to translate them in english afterwards Quebec singers do it all the time! (some songs are annoying, some are good! ) English version comes out then followed with a bilingual version ex: You know the song JetLag (Simple Plan)? we have a bilingual version with Simple Plan & Marie-mai, a Quebec female singer lots lots LOTS of artist do that here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiaIchihara Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 @netina Netina @rakpenguin63 Rose instead of a horse mask tonight Mika had a penguin mask. I thought you'd like to know that And she said too he threw the mask to the crowd :roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still can't see why he does it with this song and honestly I really hope he's not going to translate the "Karen" song too because it would change the entire "mood" of the song, if you see what I mean? It's hard to explain and it really is a matter of personal feelings about a song but I would not like to hear "rain" translated in french either for instance anyway, I'll probably change my mind when i'll hear this english version of "Elle me dit" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanou Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 i know what you mean... it's like watching an English movie translated in French.. it's never quite the same exactly when you see how a movie called "My girl" becomes "L'été de mes 13 ans" once translated in french , it's difficult not to see how a translation can affect a song or a movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melisanda Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 2...till now...and only here... Oh, I didn't hear him saying that...but I believe since it was a french story... I'm very curious!!!! can't wait to hear that!!! (hmmmm not sure about the effect though cause I don't believe in translations that much....no offense but GK in french is a totally different song to me...) sorry:doh: I was thinking about "Karen" when I was writing that...

Lena Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 you mean on the record? we don't know (do we?) but Mika sang it in english on stage... No, not necessarily, although it would be very good. I like it when someone of my familiar who are far from Mikamusic are asked me to share some of His songs. My friend liked Elle Me Dit ... But asked this on English. French is unpopular for an ordinary person. But now there's an English version of the song. I cling to every opportunity to make my friends could love his songs. Even if it are one or two songs. This is a little win too. I was not in the new thread still. Not saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
