Oh yes we need the instrumentals ! -
This is definitely my favorite song out of the songs that we hadn't had yet. The atmosphere is wonderfully dark and dreamy, and the melody is hypnotic ! Too bad about the hit and miss lyrics. But some ligns like "Dying to the hands of a foreign man, happily" is so ... I can't describe it, it's so simple yet so evocative !

Music to Watch Boys To: Official Music Video
BlueJeans replied to Subversive's topic in New Releases
No idea ! Maybe she won't use the footage she displayed in the Sampler video, that it was just a way to release some of it for us so that it might not be shot for nothing ... ? I like the vibe of this picture though ... It's sort of reminiscent of her "Lizzy" universe : the old chaise longue, the fake grass, the fake background, the bright colorful motifs of what she's wearing/her chair ... (Are those headphones ? Quite ... Sober) -

Those pants ... -
There's something that reminds me of Alejandro and Americano, (by lady Gaga) and Carmen.. Just some bits here and there, more than actual similarities. I LOVE this song ! Haha and my dad heard me singing this song the whole morning and I've heard him humming the melody the best he could haha !

The artwork is Beautiful ! But how come the style is so drastically différent than what we've had for Doll and Cotton Candy ?

Thank you ! It's odd that she put the full lyrics for Honeymoon but not for the rest. -

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the bangs either, but they don't bother me that much. Too bad, cause the balcony picture is beautiful, there's a very nice color scheme going on throughout the shoot ... Where do these booklet pages come from, by the way ? -

This photoshoot could have been great, without those campy things that keep popping up. In the cover, it's those darn fonts, in this one, it's the map and the car she's in ... Real eye sores ... -
I agree. French is a beautiful language, especially in poetry or wordy texts but if you want to write songs ... Be careful, cause it can QUICKLY turn our cheesy. English is so versatile : you can sing about telephones and umbrellas and pretty much anything and it won't sound corny or anything, as long as it's good. French on the other hand ... I hardly listen to "French Variety" cause the texts are just meh !

I hear "Wear ribbons on ice" ? But since English isn't my mother tongue, I don't really know what "Ribbons on ice" are, despite googling it. At first, in TIWMTG, I thought it was a type of alcohol or simply ribbons that girls would put in their hair ...

I love reading these without reading the title, first, trying to figure out what song it is. Different languages really give different vibes to the original songs ! I made a very free translation of Off To The Races. I started pretty close to the original lyrics but then I started weaving my own, but still trying to respect the essence of the text. Also, sometimes, bits like "Ready for you" are difficult to translate since there are several ways to do so, but each way has a slight difference meaning : Je suis prête/Je t'attends/... Off To The Races : Mon vieil homme est un mauvais homme mais Je ne puis nier la manière dont il tient ma main Et il me saisit, il possède mon coeur Peu lui importe que j'aie un passé à Las Vegas Peu lui importe que j'aie un côté grossier à la LA Il m'aime, de tous les battements de son coeur de cocaine Piscine miroitante chérie Bikini blanc ôté avec mon vernis à ongle rouge Regarde moi dans la piscine Ondulations bleues scintillantes Tandis que, assis, tu sirotes ton Black Cristal Oh yeah Lumière de ma vie, feu de mes reins Sois un(e) bon enfant, fais ce que je veux Lumière de ma vie, feu de mes entrailles Donne moi ces pièces d'or, donne les moi ! Et je suis en route pour les courses équestres Caisses de Bacardi Tandis qu'il me poursuit dans toute la ville Car il sait que je suis ivre Risquant de me refaire enfermer sur Rikers Island et que je ne m'en évaderai pas Car je suis folle à lier, mon amour Il faut que tu viennes ici et que tu me sauves Je suis ta petite Scarlett, starlette, chantant dans le jardin Embrasse moi sur ma bouche grande ouverte Je t'attends Mon vieil homme est un homme dur Pourtant, il a une âme aussi douce que le serait la confiture d'un fruit rouge comme le sang Et il me montre à quel point il me connaît Jusqu'aux moindres recoins de mon âme noire comme le bitume Peu lui importe que je mène une vie misérable Il prétend d'ailleurs que c'est selon lui ce qu'il aime, en moi Et qu'il admire même, cette façon que j'ai d'errer tel un vagabond Il savoure de m'observer dans la pièce aux miroirs, dans la salle de bains, le Chateau Marmont Tandis que j'enfile ma robe rouge, que je me maquille Film de verre, parfum, cognac, vapeurs de lilas Il dit que c'est comme le Paradis Pour lui Lumière de sa vie, feu de ses reins Garde moi pour toujours, dis moi que tu me possèdes Lumière de ta vie, feu de tes entrailles Dis moi que je t'appartiens, donne moi ces pièces Et je suis en route pour les courses équestres Caisses de Bacardi Tandis que l'on me poursuit dans toute la ville Car il sait que je suis ivre Risquant de me refaire enfermer sur Rikers Island et que je ne m'en évaderait pas Car je suis folle à lier, mon amour Il faut que tu viennes ici et que tu me secoures Je suis ta petite Scarlett, starlette, chantant dans les jardins Embrasse moi sur ma bouche grande ouverte Je suis en route pour les courses équestres Dentelle, le cuir recouvrant ma taille est moulant et je chute Je peux voir que ton visage est effronté Sous sols de Cipriani Je t'aime mais je m'écroule Seigneur je suis folle à lier, mon amour Je regrette mes mauvaises actions Je suis ta petite catin, starlette, reine de Coney Island Causant des ravages de part la ville Je regrette Mon vieil homme est un bandit mais je vais rester et prier à ses côtés jusqu'à la fin Et je m'en remets au Seigneur, il veillera sur nous Qu'Il quand Il le voudra, s'Il le peut Je n'ai pas peur de dire que je mourrais sans lui Qui d'autre pourrait me supporter de cette manière ? J'ai besoin de toi, je te respire, je ne te quitterais jamais Quiconque me séparerait de toi regretterait ce jour funeste J'étais solitaire sans toi Te voilà, allongé avec ta chaîne d'or, ton cigare pendant de tes lèvres Et je dis "Mon bien aimé, tu n'as jamais été aussi beau qu'en ce moment, mon homme" Et je suis en route pour les courses équestres A vos marques, prêts et les portes s'ouvrent tandis que nous nous engoufrons A Las Vegas, Chaos, Oasis de Casino, Mon coeur, c'est le moment de faire tourner la roue Mon adoré, tu es fou à lier, mon amour, je t'aimerai pour toujours, aucun doute à ce sujet Tu es mon unique amour Tu es mon unique amour Edit : Good or bad, this translation made me so emotional, I just love this song ! I still love it the way I did the first time I ever listened to it. The lyrics, the cultural references, the imagery, the beat, the rhythm, her vocal delivery, the combination of hard knocking hip hop beats with the beautiful and luscious strings ... Anyway, this is really fun ! Keep posting guys, i'm loving these translations !!

Ma chatte goûte le Pepsi ColaMes yeux sont larges comme des tartes aux cerises J'ai un penchant pour les hommes plus âgés Il en a toujours été ainsi Donc ce n'est pas une surprise English songs translated in French instant lu sound bad. Even english texts that aren't deep or anything. Example : Umbrella by Rihanna. Just the mere fact or stuttering "parapluie-apluie-apluie-ie-ie" sounds ludacrous in Moliere's language. French lyrics have to be poetic otherwise, they quickly get cringy imo...
