dcdeb Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) 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 --------- Translation into English thanks Kaito http://www.mikafanclub.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3794649&postcount=4 Edited August 9, 2013 by mari62 addding link to translation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nenartus Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Just the piano and perfect voice. What else do we need. And he said he is not romantic. This song is essence of romantic. Again I understand nothing accept he sings something about sun and moon. But sounds so sweet. Like a lullaby. I hope that lyrics are not horror or something bitter. I can easily imagine this song in a movie. not MYH or OOl movie, but proper one. French if I can choose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaito Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 No idea if the lyrics are good, bad or ugly but his voice is exceptionally beautiful on this and his accent sounds lovely. This is the only one of the new French songs I like. (Along with Elle Me Dit.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellenowl Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The song sounds lovely, but the pitch alteration on YouTube is annoying. At least it should stop people from illegally downloading it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonyoulove Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All it's going to do is make people who don't know any better think he sings off key. 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.
