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.

 

 

comme un soleil mal luné's lyrics :

 

Je suis comme un soleil mal luné

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. :wub2: And he said he is not romantic. :teehee: This song is essence of romantic. Again I understand nothing accept he sings something about sun and moon. :doh: But sounds so sweet. :mikalove: Like a lullaby. I hope that lyrics are not horror or something bitter.:aah:

 

 

 

I can easily imagine this song in a movie.

not MYH or OOl movie, but proper one. French if I can choose.:teehee:

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)

The song sounds lovely, but the pitch alteration on YouTube is annoying. At least it should stop people from illegally downloading it.

 

Did they alter the pitch to get around copyright or something? All it's going to do is make people who don't know any better think he sings off key. :emot-sad:

Where is this altered version? How would anyone know what key it's supposed to be in if they'd never heard it before in order to judge that it's off key? Sorry I don't know anything about this stuff so maybe it's obvious but I'm thinking if the entire song has been shifted it's not going to sound pitchy if you know what I mean. Not that it's a good idea though. :aah:

I agree. I thought the song was beautiful and I didn't notice any pitch alterations. And it's true, I would think they would have had to change the pitch of the entire song or something would have sounded off. I don't upload copywritten music to YouTube so I don't know if they do change the pitch of songs to get around the legal issues.

 

Of course I don't claim to have a degree in music and I cannot sing a note to save my life but I know when I hear a song I love. And if they altered that song then I can honestly say that the original must be as close to perfection as one can get. And I would love to be able to hear it in another format but for right now YouTube is all some of us have.

I don't know which version you refer to, but if the pitch has been changed I think the most likely explanation is that somewhere during ripping it or uploading it to youtube something got messed up.
