Kaito Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) I changed a few things 'cause... Mika's sentences were...weird but I tried to transcribe it "as he said it" as much as I could but sometimes, he was hesitating, said funny sentences, stopped the sentence and... you can still wait for the end of sentence, it'll never happen XD HAHA Mika, tu étais en spectacle hier à l’international des montgolfières, spectacle qu’on a vu et on a quelques images pour toi. * Mika, you were yesterday at the "International des Montgolfières". We've got some videos of the show of last night to show you* Hier, c’était le dernier concert de l’été, parce que je recommence ma tournée en octobre. Alors, c’était un bon finishing pour les concerts, les festivals de l’été. C’était tellement beau avec tous les ballons, je ne m’attendais pas à ça, je ne m'attendais pas à... c’était vraiment magnifique. *Yesterday was my last summer gig because I won't tour before october. So, it was a great way to end the summer gigs/festivals. It was really beautiful with all these balloons... I hadn't expected that.. Really, it's was gorgeous.* C’est intéressant parce que tu as justement entamé l’enregistrement de ton album ici. *It's interestint because it's here you began recording the Cd.* Oui, je l’ai commencé ici et c’est drôle car je l’ai fini hier et j’ai pris un vol, le même vol que celui que j’ai pris lorsque j’ai commencé à faire l’album. En finissant l’album, j’ai pris le même vol. Et sur ce vol de Londres à Montréal, j’ai finalement checké l’artwork, le booklet et j’ai dit « bon, c’est confirmé, envoyez-le ». Et c’est drôle parce qu’il y a un an et demi, j’étais sur le même vol en train de dire « mais qu’est-ce que je suis en train de faire ? » Je n’ai pas d’hotel, je sais pas où je suis en train de travailler, avec qui je vais travailler mais je suis arrivé et j'ai dit "Montréal, c'est sûr !" Je suis arrivé parce que c’est un monde à part pour moi. Le Québec a un sentiment très différent, ça a une identité très forte et une identité que j’aime bien. J’aime bien les gens … On mange très bien ici. On mange très bien à Montréal, c’est fou… On grossit très bien..très vite. *Yes, I started it here and it's funny because I finished it yesterday on the plane, the same as the one I took when I started the CD. On this flight London-Montréal, I finally checked the final artwork and booklet. I said "Ok, it's confirmed, you can send it !" and it's funny 'cause one year and a half ago, I was on the same flight but I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't have a hotel, I didn't know where I'd work nor the peopel with who I'd work... but I arrived here and I said "Yes, it's Montreal for sure !" I arrived here because this place is like no other for me. Québec has a very different feeling, it has a very strong identity and I love this identity. I like the people... Food is really tasty here... We eat very well here, it's crazy ! We put on weight very very quicly as well (laugh). * Tu as récemment révélé ton homosexualité au grand jour, est-ce que ça s’inscrit dans la démarche de cet album-là, parce qu’on sent que c’est un album plus assumé, plus en confiance que jamais là-dessus ? *Lately, you made public your homosexuality, does it has to do with this new album, with which we can see that you're much more confident. Ouais, c’est sûr qu’on entend l’album et on se dit « Bon, il a beaucoup de confiance sur cet album, plus que le deuxième". C’était un peu un journal personnel qui s’est passé pendant douze mois. On entend « L’Origine de l’amour » et c’est le début et après on entend toutes les évolutions de ça. A un moment, c’est fantastique, 2 chansons plus tard c’est complètement par terre, en train de dire « Je vais te tuer, je te déteste dans tous les sens, tu ne sers à rien. Va te faire foutre XX Et 3 chansons après c’est « Aaah tu es tout.. je suis calme… » * Yeah, it's sure that when you listen to the CD, you think "He is very confident on this CD, much more than on the 2nd one". Well, it was a kind of diary about my life that covers 12 months. At a moment, it's fantastic and 2 songs later, everything has turned wrong and I'm saying "I'm gonna kill you, I hate you, you're useless, f*ck off" and 3 songs further, it's "Aaaah you mean everythign for me.." and I'm calm... Mais en même temps, comme je le dis toujours, l’orientation, la sexualité, cela n’a pas beaucoup à voir avec la musique. Cela a beaucoup à voir…mais ce n’est pas essentiel pour comprendre la musique. La musique reste universelle. Si ça reste tout seul, on ne doit pas tout savoir pour comprendre la musique. Mais pour me comprendre comme personne, comme une vraie personne, pas comme une caricature, ouais, c’est important. Cela fait complètement partie de qui je suis. * But at the same time, as I've always said, the sexual orientation hasn't got much to do with music. Well... actually..yeah, it does a lot but.. it's not essential to understand music because music is universal. If music is considered on its own, you don't have to know everythign to understand it. But, to understand me as a person, as a real person, not a caricature, yeah.. it's important. It is completely part of who I am. Tu as vendu des millions d’albums à travers le monde, quel est aujourd’hui ton rapport avec le succès ? * You've sold billions of Cds aroudn the world, how do you put up with your success ? Euuuh. Je ne sais pas…Parce que.. « You’re only as good as your last show » ( Do you hear the same thing?) C’est toujours la même chose… J’ai le même désire et la même pression que lorsque je n’avais vendu rien. Ça change rien, ça change rien, en fait. *Euuuh I don't know 'cause " You're only as good as your last show". It's always the same... I still have the same desire and pressure as when I hadn't sold anything. It doesn't change anything...Yes, indeed, it doesn't change anything.

Kaito Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 that bit made me giggle! thanks for translating! Me too haha~ And the part where he talks about the food in Montreal, pretty hilarious as well. I seemed a bit bothered or... no, more like uncomfortable for one second when she started asking about his coming out and the link it may have with his new CD (with his new confidence)... It thought it was very touching when he talked about music & sexual orientation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
