Default C`est trop tard song question

Alizee in this song says... "john ay marre" and she also says "yawn ay marre" - this is the English "sounds like"


Jen ai marre- im fed up.. i know that.. but "yawn ay marre" ???

What's the difference?

I wondered the same thing. Maybe she slurs?

"j'en ai marre" means I'm fed up. The second one is "oui, y'en a marre" means yes, that's enough. It's not a slur it's just a similarity.

1. J'en ai marre

2. Oui, y'en a marre

I think it means: "yes, fed up" - as to confirm her pissed off mood

LOL...'john ay marre'

C'est trop tard! Pour l'histoire
Bien trop tard! J'en ai marre
C'est trop tard! Si tu pars
Parce qu'entre nous c'était un peu bizarre...
J'me barre!
C'est trop tard! Pour y croire
Bien trop tard! Oui, y'en a marre!
C'est trop tard! Si c'est ton "art" ...Ou du cochon moi j'ai pas d'opinion.
T'es con!

It's too late! For the story
Much too late! I'm fed up
It's too late! If you leave
Because between us, it was a little awkward...
I'm leaving!
It's too late! To believe it
Much too late! Yes, that's enough!
It's too late! If this is your "art"....or of the pig, me, I have no opinion.
You idiot!

Yep i just looked at the lyrics. "yes, thats enough".... = "yawn ae marre"

Whatever... the french language is very confusing. How come there isn't a OUI in there for the "yes" ? She doesnt sing OUI in there, its missing

I love the french sound but my god your language is DIFFICULT!!!!

Merci for your help

There is. O_O In my opinion it's certainly less confusing than english, just takes a lot of getting used to if you're used to doing things differently.

Less confusing than english. I wish i had been born french and tried to learn english so i could understand that statement. To me english is the simplest language in the world... duh i wonder why...lol

I do hear many foreignors complain about english though. IT must be true.. english is difficult

She definitely sings "oui, y'en a marre" in the En Concert version. I'm too lazy right now to load up WMV and listen to the studio version, but I'm going to assume it's there as well and that you're just missing it.

The whole line is pronounced: we-an-ah-mahr

The "Oui" is in there.

Edit: I just listened to it, she sings it more like: ee-an-ah-mahr
