macboll Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 this is so far what I caught after 2 hearings of Elle me dit/She tells me... Can't you write a happy song Get your ass to number 1 You could try a little harder She tells me you could be a millionaire ...................... my hair (?) like your father but you She tells me give life a chance Don't you want to dance .................... are you stuck up? Are you gay? ...... She tells me it's my life ... she does not care... you''re not making friends ... What's that stench? ... That's the only thing she said That would make me smile at her Don't lock yourself in your room Open up so I can reach you ... See the price I have to pay I would give my life away ... I don't want to have to hate you I rely on the English native speakers to get all the lyrics __________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn Mastin Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 yes, I like simple comments, too. As for me, I was looking forward to the French songs but I am now a bit skeptical about them. EMD in English, with the French chorus, is AWESOME!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lena Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 And yet ... Image of mother in His songs is a collective image of all mothers, or it is refers to His mom specifically...? I notice I am on the side of mom again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 This is what I've got but it's really bad Especially the middle part where I can understand many of the words but I can't really grasp a coherent sentence out of them so I really don't know She tells me can't you write a happy song Get your ass to number one You could try a little harder She tells me you could be a millionaire But you're so full of hot air Gonna end up like your father She tells me you can't leave your life to chance Get a girl and learn to dance Be a boy like any other She tells me why you got so much to say Are you stuck up are you gay Gonna end up like your brother She tells me it's my life I will not live it twice One day you'll understand Become a better man She's pulling out her hair But says she doesn't care She doesn't make no sense ... in French? She tells me you live your life in a balloon Lock yourself up in your room So no one can ever reach you She tells me whatcha smoking, what's that stench Do you speak...French Did you really think you... I give up, it's not worth trying One day I'll...end up dead That's the only thing she said ...smile? She tells me you live your life in a balloon Lock yourself up in your room So no one can ever reach you She tells me am I speaking Japanese Then she's falling on her knees Starts praying to St. Peter She tells me see the price I have to pay ... my life away All the **** I have to get through She tells me why'd you make this hard for me It's not the way it's meant to be I don't want to have to hate you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 And yet ... Image of mother in His songs is a collective image of all mothers, or it is refers to His mom specifically...? I notice I am on the side of mom again. It sounds quite specific to me. I mean she is talking about him becoming a millionaire by writing a happy song...so...

LilStar Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 this is so far what I caught after 2 hearings of Elle me dit/She tells me...

(why you got so much to say??!!??)are you stuck up? Are you gay? Dont wanna end up like your brother She tells me it's my life ...twice one day you'll understand?! She tells me what the hell she does not care... you''re not making friends Pourquoi tu gaches ta vie? She tells me, live your life in a balloon Lock yourself up in your room ... She tells me, whats youre smoking? What's that stench? ... ... ... She tells me... .. ill make it so? I give up, its not good trying She tells me now ... get out of bed?

Lena Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) It sounds quite specific to me. I mean she is talking about him becoming a millionaire by writing a happy song...so... Don't this This is not very realistic for one song.. But for a album ... I'm talking about His confrontation of the mother. He often stands in His songs in opposition .... But mom did not will advise bad things to her own child. Edited August 7, 2011 by Lena Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She tells me can't you write a happy song Get your ass to number one You could try a little harder She tells me you could be a millionaire But you're so full of hot air Gonna end up like your father She tells me you can't leave your life to chance Get a girl and learn to dance Be a boy like any other She tells me why you got so much to say Are you stuck up OR are you gay Gonna end up like your brother She tells me it's my life DON'T GET TO LIVE IT TWICE One day you'll understand BECOME A better man She's pulling out her hair But says she doesn't care She doesn't make no sense IT MAY NOT BE in French She tells me you live your life in a balloon Lock yourself up in your room SO THE WORLD can Never reach you She tells me whatcha smoking, what's that stench Do you speak...French Did you really think you HAD IT I give up it's not worth trying One day I WILL end up dead That's the only thing she said THAT WOULD EVER GET ME SMILING She tells me you live your life in a balloon Lock yourself up in your room SO THE WORLD can Never reach you She tells me am I speaking Japanese Then she's falling on her knees Starts praying to St. Peter She tells me see the price I have to pay AND I GIVE my life away All the **** I have to get through She tells me why'd you make this hard for me It's not the way it's meant to be I don't want to have to hate you Edited August 7, 2011 by guylainem123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Oh Guy I had made a few edits to my post awhile ago. I think one of the lines is "I give up, it's not worth trying." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guylainem123 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Looks good Guy! there are 3 or 4 lines that i can't understand a word except "so" But this english/french version is EXACTLY what is popular in Quebec! So many artists to that here! I wonder if this will end up being song 8 of 12 on the album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
