I think this Shangay interview is an interesting one. I can translate it tomorrow if you want me to. Let me know! ;)

I work until late afternoon today and tomorrow, but I can share this job with you in the next days if you need help. Just let me know :wink2:

Thanks a lot for translation LeiRe  !!

 

Couldn't go through this thread before, although of course I had already read all of these articles.

Thank you to everyone who posted and translated them! :huglove:

As Alba said, most of what's said on them is not news, but there are actually some funny/curious details/comments which are worth it and quite accurately translated into English by Saint Google Translator. Really, I spent some time tonight trying to translate them only to realise my translation and Google's were almost the same...  :aah:

So, here are some bits from Telva, which was only on PDF that I know of - sorry beforehand for mistakes:

 

Your album is called "No Place In Heaven". How do you know that there is no place in heaven?

Because heaven is here, it has bits scattered all over the earth. Heaven is in all the small things: in being a kid and spending holidays in family, in a sunset at the beach with a million mosquitos biting us, in finishing work and relaxing in a café, in travelling to Madrid or Milan.

If you had a return pass to that heaven, who would you go visit?

I wouldn't accept that pass, I would change it for a pass to hell. Sure that's where all my idols are! And if I had to choose one, it would be Jean Cocteau. I would love to talk with him! Or rather, listen to him.

What would you change if you were a politician?

Many things… First of all, I would make all human beings in the world equal. I would fight for equality, starting with gender. Why do our sisters or mothers receive less salary for the same job than we do?

*Nina Simone, Austin Healey*

What classic song you would have loved to have written yourself?

That's a trap question, like mum or dad! I would have loved to write all of them by The Beatles, whose songs I listen to every day as far back as I can remember. Or to stick to it, Purple Rain by Prince.

What do your friends say about you now that you're famous?

They still think I am contradictory and a bit of a disaster…

Will there be a translation of this Spanish stuff? I hope so... :wink2:

 

I was secretly hoping the same! :)  Very curious and would love to know if there's anything new. No pressure, let's wait and see if anyone has time!

The articles say nothing new. First one is a summary of his life since he left Beirut and went to Paris and London. The article has some mistakes. Then a review of his artistic life, the story of GK and all the record companies rejected him etc.. the second one talks about the gig in Pedralbes before it took place, also talks about his collabration with OSM. So nothing new, dont worry.

Here's the translation. Sorry if there're some mistakes  :blush-anim-cl:

 

 

Mika, gay and Catholic
 
So said the artist with his latest album, which highlights that being homosexual does not conflict at all with being Catholic "neo-Catholic" in his words,where he mentions he practises the  religion in his own way.
 
"No Place In Heaven" It's a diary where Mika finally decided to open to the public without the overdose of color that has always characterized him; with more calmed songs now where you can feel his heart beating, he really speaks about how it was to accept being gay and the process that had to lead with his Lebanese family, which no one speaks with him, but he says is not being affected by it.
You feel a new vibe of freedom in his lyrics, a joyful and proud tone that allows to honor his gay icons that have inspired him but who are no longer with us, as he does it in "Good Guys", if you listen and watch his first video that has launched this new album which finally he comes out of the closet completely.
 
Quoting  Oscar Wilde, and thanking Rufus Wainwright, David Bowie, Walt Whitman, Arthur Rimbaud, Andy Warhol, James Dean, Wilfred Owen, among other great and famous LGBT men who have marked the history, Mika stops hiding to the world  and gives us a new freedom anthems, where there is only one question: "Where have all  the good gays gone?"

That's a lovely piece, but it's so sad if his family in Lebanon don't speak with him because he's gay!. Thanks for the translation.

Thanks for the translation Alba :hug: It's quite surprising,  and sad,  that MIKAs Lebanese  fam. no longer speaks to him because he's openly gay! :( But it gives the lyric in "All she wants" even more meaning,  knowing this ;)  The good thing is that he handles it well himself... :wub:

 

Love,love
