Zack, what was that reference of Lolita and Amelie about? Sounded like a comparison type of question.

Reporter : is it to say good bye to Lolita and hello Amelie?

A: it's not to say hello to one and good bye to the other
but rather a continuation of life - that i'm maturing
a result of more experience - new places new people
that i was at one point 15 and now 23
that the things that are close to me now may not be the same in a
few years - its a part of growing up

[Zack is the translator getting Alizee's age wrong? - i keep hearing 24 years old maybe i just suck at Spanish]

i'm bored - i figure i try my nominal Spanish

Indeed. He uses Lolita to refere to the past, as when she was 15... and Amelie as the present, a grown up person.
He used both to refere an image.

Yes, she keeps saying she is 24. She is 23 yet, but she will be 24 in August 21.

Go to sleep Zack, let me help you in this and later fix it if it is not correct

More or less the translation enjoy it and thanks GG for the tags...AWESOME

As you can see it is a lot....


C: Alizee welcome to Mexico
A: Thank you

C: Some other words in Spanish besides "Thank you"
A: "My name is Alizée?" (LOL)

C: Alizée...what are you trying to wake up...with your style?...cause the way you dress...your dances...your singing...what are you trying to wake up?
A: I try to demonstrate an example of youth...I am 24 years old and I feel lucky that at my age I have being able to do the things that are my passion... and to live wonderful things in other countries...whenever I travel around the world...and I guess that what I want to transmit...is that you have to believe in your dreams´til the end ... because dreams come true and I am "a living example" (she smiles)

C: Something special that you want to generate with the male audience....whom always follows you...
A: As woman we necessarily make men to like us… but that is not my objective… my intention is to make music… to show the French language abroad and to enjoy everything I do

C: Is it truth that you were born in same place than Napoleon?
A: (Oui ) Yes...at Corcega

C: And more or less who has conquered more... you or Napoleon?
A: (puff) Well I am only 24 years old...we will see 20 years later what I have done... but at least in these last 8 years I have lived so many things... I've been lucky and I am very proud to represent France abroad

C: I thought ....for what I have seen in videos and other stuff... that you were a little bit taller… of course you are not as small as Napoleon.. but do you think that: "Greatness is measure from head to ground?" (Napoleon's quote)
A: I think it is not a matter of size, it is more a matter of desire and ambition

C: I can see that there is an intention...to perhaps... redesign your image..I don't know if I am understanding well… but it is like saying goodbye to Lolita and hello to Amelie?
A: Ahhh...like Amélie Poulain? It is not that I say goodbye to an image or hello to a new one...it is simply a continuity...I grew up ...I am 24 years old and when I started I was 15 and as a person we all evolve...and then you met other people...and you have preference for different things... and I try to do the things that fits more to me in these days...perhaps later... I won't do the same things... because I will met other people and will have other wishes...and I will have the desire to discover other things

C: When you look yourself to the mirror...how old do you think you look?
A: Well...I still cannot believe I am a young mother… I see myself and I have the same face….with more years… I have lived so many things… I was lucky to travel… I am a mom and I say to myself that I am happy like this

C: What do you do in regard to your daughter when traveling?
A:I try to spend the most of the time with her...because at 3-5 years children change so much...I try to take advantage of being with her

C: By the way...what do you know about Mexico?
A: I know that it is a country that treats me very well...where the people is very warm...charm, gentile and cute...like the fans or the people I met when I go to eat at a restaurant for example...and it's truth that when the people is this way...it makes you have the desire to come back again...and that's the reason why I am here again.

C: What do you like most of the Mexican food?
A: I have always liked a lot the spicy food with a strong flavor so here is the perfect place

C: And tequila?
A: I don't drink liquor (alcohol)

C: None?
A: None

C: Any particular reason?
A: I don't like liquor (alcohol) I prefer soft drinks

C: Thank you very much and good luck...I hope it goes very good for you in Mexico
A: Thank you very much

Napoleon conquered by force.
Alizée conquered because people volunteered to be conquered.
Hoohah!

TheBarret :

I agree with you

I guess she eats a lot of spicy things...but our famous hot pepper

I must confess I am the only mexican girl that cannot stand the "chile"

Only one type: chile piquin (it is for children )

My Indonesian Father knows how to brew strange chilis, one time he mixed in Habanero juice with god knows what, some Indonesian spices, trust me when I ate it, I wasted like 5 liters of Mexican Coca Cola (it's the best what can I say! Sugar Cane, the sugar cane

That must've been quite an experience

Yeah totally, I think it would've been better to live with the spice in your mouth than splashing bears after drinking all that coke.
