Alizée in English

[Deepwaters]

Here, I just had to do this. To show it could be done:

My world has no troubles,
Here under the bubbles,
Carressing my skin silkily.
My goldfish, he loves me,
Swimming here with me,
He tickles me under my knee.

No cares or troubles, just lazin' round,
Wrapped up in bubbles, sweet splashing sound,
Keeping it simple, it's hard to do,
But that's my secret for getting through.

I shut out my troubles,
Here under the bubbles,
Nothing that's bad can find me.
My bath takes forever,
In watery pleasure,
But I've got a list, oh, you see --
Of what gets to me:

I'm fed up with this damned rain,
People whose driving's a pain,
Can't think outside of a box
Predictable as a clock.
Hypocrites and fanatics,
And my sister's dramatics.
Don't get me started on zukes,
They make me swell up and puke.
I'm fed up with being made
To jump through hoops every day.
Fed up with being fed up -- that too!

Very well done. That is MUCH better. Now get her to sing it!

[Deepwaters]

Thanks. But the French song is still better, I think.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer the French versions of the four songs she also recorded in English, just saying, your lyrics are very good.

"I'm Fed Up" might have really bad lyrics, but it still tops anything on the radio.

[CFHollister]

Of the four English versions, while I prefer the French versions of each, I really think Amélie is the best. I'm Fed Up and I'm not 20 are both ok. While I don't like listening to Youpidoo, but that is more for personal extenuating circumstances.

Trouble reading ?

Didn't I say that she knows English ? At least some English. Especially now when she is married to guy who knows it well enough.



I wasn't talking about her. It was general note what I said about singing and speaking in some language. Since some people tends to believe singing in English automaticly means one knows the language.

Hmmm... I've either got a bad case of dejavu or we've had this discussion before...

I don't think anybody searches for new posts. We just keep going round and round. LOL
