mari62 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 found this translation into English, seems to be a good one I wouldn't allege to have unappropriate reflexes You'll have to explain me better How to tell you goodbye My silex heart gets fire quickly Your pyrex heart resists to fire I'm so confused I can't resolve myself To goodbyes I know that a past love Has no chance or so few But for me An explanation would be better I wouldn't allege to Overexpose my eyes in front of you With a kleenex (handkerchief) I'd know better How to tell you goodbye How to tell you goodbye You put aside Our sleepless nights Our grey-blue mornings But for me An explanation would be better. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080220160708AAOtvzW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willywonka Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) So not knowing French i copy pasted the lyrics to a translator... this is my fave part: on no account I do not want in front of you to overexpose my eyes behind a kleenex I would know better how to say you farewell how to say you farewell found this translation into English, seems to be a good one I wouldn't allege to have unappropriate reflexes You'll have to explain me better How to tell you goodbye My silex heart gets fire quickly Your pyrex heart resists to fire I'm so confused I can't resolve myself To goodbyes I know that a past love Has no chance or so few But for me An explanation would be better I wouldn't allege to Overexpose my eyes in front of you With a kleenex (handkerchief) I'd know better How to tell you goodbye How to tell you goodbye You put aside Our sleepless nights Our grey-blue mornings But for me An explanation would be better. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080220160708AAOtvzW This was actually called "It hurts to say goodbye", and was adapted to french in the late 60's by the fabulous Serge Gainsbourg... Here' the only cover in englisg i know of, by Vera Lynn, in the late 60's... Nothing to do wth the powerful voice of Francoise, but the lady tried at least... Oh, and the non matching official lyrics are here http://www.metrolyrics.com/it-hurts-to-say-goodbye-lyrics-vera-lynn.html Edited October 18, 2009 by willywonka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruth Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I found the clip on YT where Mika talks about Christophe Willem, and I asked the person who posted it if (he?) had any more. That's why he put up the song with Emilie Simon too. Fingers crossed for more. I was surprised that the forum wasn't buzzing about this appearance - maybe we're more tuned-in to the U.S.A. atm. But I think it's wonderful. I love so many things about it. The presenter is fabulous and has a really good interview at length, in French, with Mika. Then the duet. Wow! what a different style and range. And then more talking. Perfect. And my French is getting good enough to pick up on what they're saying - piece/chambre and the laughing about when he used to 'introduce his musicians'. Great fabulous stunning.

Maybe she'll post the whole show on YT I LOVE it as u do Ruth, but I think unfortunately only MFCers, who do speak French, can fully appreciate this appearance Well yes, but Mika's first appearance went down pretty well. And oh, I remember the frustration when it kept being taken down off YT. I learnt to download videos and rip the audio off them just for that! By the way, I managed to watch the .flv file with real player yesterday. But it won't let me burn it to give to my French teacher () or rip the audio track off it. Maybe someone else will be able to .... I must be patient! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh you are so lucky to understand so much French! I really agree with you that the presenter is extremely good, you get the feeling that he has the right combination of being very right forward and at the same time very polite, and there's no doubt that he is fond of Mika. The funny thing is that all what I'm describing here are things that becomes obvious even without understanding the language … never underestimate the power of facial expressions and body language... What I wanted to ask is if Mika said anything we haven't heard before and if someone finds this interview with subtexts, even French subtexts are okay...please post about it!

Black-Cinderella Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 What could we do without Taratata. I'm So glad to Nagui to do it again & again. This guy gots a power to discover young artist who will become so famour and giant (He did it also with Muse like 12 years ago). I didn't watched it yet, but I like Emilie Simon so... I'm sure it's good. Let see !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll watch the show again to translate the important parts I'm very sorry I didn't finish my translation, but I have a lot of homeworks this time... don't worry, there is nothing new or very important, just some funny parts. I'll do it during the week And yes Nagui is very fond of Mika ! he was at the PDP gig and we also saw him at the Cirque d'Hiver during the acoustic tour. He is really faithfull to Mika.
