Oops, jk. Here's the full song, very nice bit at the end where you hear the lower range of her voice:

The voices are fine but I don't like the song either. I do notice that over the last few years that Alizee's voice has gotten higher, it used to be lower. Just listen to this new song or any of her recent songs and compare them to "Moi Lolita", "La Isle Bonita", or pretty much any other of the earlier songs she performed. Although I do prefer the earlier Alizee, of course, I still like the current one.

My translation.

Clara wants to hear me
Invent tender words
I should surprise her any times
and Miss talking to hang herself
if she have to wait


Clara wants summer
From March to February
and so crickets never cease to sing
And she get her legs tanned
all year long


Clara wants the moon
I sometimes refuse
When the rocket is
in the garage and outdoors, storm is coming


Clara wants the moon
I am more down to earth
I see that if fills her with despair
She's annoyed with me, for not moving the skies
For her beautiful eyes

Clara said boredom
It should be banned
She says: I wanna live in a comedy
Where the plot always take new turn
I Want that everyone laughs

Clara live love
The real , the "forever" one
She says we never end going around it
even all life long, even everyday
it's too short



Well, I think this is more comprehensible, now.
I hope.

Not keen on the rather flimsy electro arrangement - Chamfort's own version was more catchy - but there must be great kudos for Alizée in a collaboration with a one-time musical associate of a legend like Serge Gainsbourg. As already commented above, the low register of her voice towards the end is a tingling reminder of what she is really capable of as are the other cheeky little trills she does in a couple of places . . .

Tout la nuit

Thanks again. I added almost everything you said. At one or two points I sought middle ground. Does it read OK or are there errors.

Thats sounds good to me.
Did this translation give you a clue about the character of the girl, in the song?

She sounds like a Type 7 (Enthusiast)

What do you think? What is your sense of the picture being painted by the song?
