Yes, Italian, and Greek. In his podcasts he sometimes translated some words if his guest couldn't find a good word in English. He was in Greece for about 7 years. And he has a Greek passport now. He said he can write in greek as well. Edited September 3, 2023 by Anna Ko Kolkowska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Elle Me dit Mika was mean with his mum as well. And we don't comment it at all Because the song takes its meaning only in a whole frame. And maybe because in French so it's easier to "swallow"? Elle me dit"Un jour je n'serai plus là"Mais c'est quand elle me dit çaQu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime She sais : one day I will be gone (I will die) And I like when she sais so Does it mean Mika wanted his mum's death. No, of course not. Edited September 3, 2023 by Anna Ko Kolkowska 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I guess would be more frustrating, knowing he can speak other languages but not this one that is so much a part of his partner's life. But I think we've gone a little off topic - sorry mods! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara penny Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 He knows Greek, English and Italian, in my opinion he already knows too much!sure maybe he feels uncomfortable when Mika speaks French with his relatives more than anything else for the rest Andy doesn't seem like the type who frequents French environments, that's why I think it's not necessary to speak French at all costs! I'm always on Andy's side anyway! 😄 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why Andy wasn't too happy! I wonder if "il vous aime pas" refers to his fans?? Because if it's supposed to personify France wouldn't it be "toi"? Or would you use the polite form if you personified a country in a song? It refers to Mika's friends who don't speak English Mika's fans all speak English (either before becoming his fans or thanks to becoming his fans) and Andy does speak with Mika's fans (in English) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About having children. Mika would like to have one but Andy reminds him that he is an egoist running from one country to another. And Mika would be a father irresponsible and redundant. He said as well that they are together for 18 years (?) Q: How did you do it? Mika: I don't know. I have to say we argue a lot. I think this is what saved us. We shout on each other and after that everything is OK. If you really want to know the secret how to keep it for so long - for me it's only 18 years - there are people which are together for much longer - you have to scream, scream, scream. And not to break plates. Well, there are some more topics in this interview like how to fill the emptiness after his mum's passing, about Jane Birkin, inflation, his fascination for food....

peroalessandra Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) Good morning. Sorry Will be a transcription in French of this interview? I Have the impression It Is very intense, the journalist seems to go quite in deepness when She asks him questions, even if She does It in a very soft and Natural way, without making him feel unconfortable according to me. It would be a pleasure to Have a transcription in order to translate It for non french speakers ☺️ Edited September 4, 2023 by peroalessandra 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mika would like to have one but Andy reminds him that he is an egoist running from one country to another. And Mika would be a father irresponsible and redundant. Well, I think Andy is right. He'd end up having to take care of the child on his own for most of the time. I don't know how responsible Mika can be or how egoistic he is - he does something important for the world and for all of us with his job of spreading love and joy and making everyone feel beautiful ... even if he makes music for egoistic reasons, his music helps many people to feel better. But well, I wouldn't say that Mika is the most reliable person, so I certainly understand Andy's concerns. So far, Mika always gave as an answer that Andy wants kids but that he (Mika) is too egoistic for having children - and now that Andy said he doesn't want kids, Mika changed the story. I suppose for them it might be a "maybe some time, but not now", but if he says that, there'll be people saying "but you shouldn't wait too long!!" - you can't really win with that question, no matter what you say.

holdingyourdrink Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Unpopular opinion: I personally think it’s none of our business: because whatever decision he makes in his personal life, it doesn’t affect our appreciation of him as an artist. And everyone is entitled to their opinion of course, but this is not a parenting nor a discuss-Mika’s-personal-life forum (I have been on those parenting forums and they are brutal: would NOT recommend!! ) That being said, I do believe he has become careful after having had more outspoken opinions in the past (his opinion on ESC for example), because he knows as no other that whatever you say, will bite you in the a** at some point. I think it’s a perfect answer for a very private topic. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
