A Décollage question

[Rachelizee]

Just lately I've found myself listening to "Décollage" an awful lot and I've come to realise that I have no idea what Oxmo Puccino says at the start of the track.

It's never bothered me before but the more I listen the more I'm anxious to know.I have had a little search around and I'm sure the answers probably staring me in the face but I'm damned if I can find it.

So if anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.Also if I could be cheeky enough to ask for the answer in French and English as well

Thanks in advance.

Edit : Note to the Mods - I've just realised where I've posted this thread.If it's more appropriate in the Translations Thread , please can you move it for me.Sorry.

Thank you for a fantastic link.I've found my answer and learnt a lot of other things I didn't know.It's well worth checking out.

Oh and as it's your first post , welcome to Alizee America.

Hey, that is pretty cool! I spent my dinner break tonight poring over this. Some pretty comprehensive translations there, and the Reflections lyrics are extremely decent as well! Nice!

Ah! Just looked at those lyrics again and I think I'm starting to understand this song better. Starting. I think it's highly allegorical though and thus meaning will tend to be where we find it. Still, I think I need to go over this song again and refine my translation. More over, I need to understand the overall message and things like why she speaks of being a shellfish of some sort in this song. I thought about this while translating Spychédélices and again, I don't know what Alizée is thinking, but it makes me think of Aphrodite.
What was in Oxmo's mind when he was writing this? Must I research him too to understand better? The intersection between Alizée and these disparate personalities can be fascinating.
