Ah memories.
Funny thing is the original lyrics with the Spanish part at the end that you don't see in the video.


Lolita tienes que entender
Que no puedo que darme
En la cama al amancer
Quieres gozar
Pero tienes que comprender
Que no puedo passarla bien
Si no me vay a trabajar
Lolita mi amor dejame me quero escapar
Lolita por favor
Dejame para de sonar
Lolita mi amor
Si pudieras empezar
Una vida real, te doy la senal

Ah fate.

Sorry, couldn't resist it

Could have been "funny" if it were even true.

Oh, well that's interesting, I never picked up on the Spanish parts either (of course I don't know Spanish). Her English is also good. Well, you know Alizée studied Spanish in school. Maybe it was around that time or not so far off.

Yep, her Spanish is pretty good. Her English isn't half bad either.
I'm sure it's really difficult to sing in a different language. The lyrics are probably meaningless (sometimes).
I'm trying to learn some basic Polish at the mo and it's driving me mad
The basic words are ok (sort of) but they all change in the context of the sentence. Nightmare!

Expect for the songs in English, I can't remember that she ever gave an interview in English.
I have some videos in which she says Thank you at the end of song, one I'm fed up video in which she gives her intro. Remember the Moscow concert in which she says few lines in English and then says that she doesn't know English. So I am amazed about her all those songs in English. She has done well in singing all those.

I agree with you completely. Different language, even if you know it very well will be always foreign, different than this what you are accustomed to. Some expressions are unique for language, hard to translate. I could only think that I know English, but a lot of expressions are pretty hard understandable for me.
And her Spanish, well, I can say that French have some natural predispositions to speak Spanish, it's a bit easier for them, as those languages are a bit similar to each other.

I warned you! Basic words are easy, but we have very complex grammar, 7 cases for a noun. And context is really important in Polish, we almost always neglect subject. And we have veery many different idiomatic expressions.

I have fun with this and other stuff in a new page titled The difference between Alizée and Mylène.
