I suppose it's about time I joined this forum.

I did some translations on alizee-forum without realizing that they were already done here. So that we can coordinate our activities better, we should make a list of interviews that haven't been translated yet.

And some day translate the radio programs too, like the one I was on. This is great, it seems like we recently got a bunch of people who can do translations and BiB has been knocking them out. I've been rarely on AAm recently. I think I've missed some stuff.

It's sad though. Frankly, I was recently looking the the Moi...Lolita translation that I have and even that could be improved. I guess if 7 years after her most famous song does not improve a translation, nothing ever will. I suspect I could get a better translation by reading discussions about it, but really we need to have an official translation area like alizee-forum had (except that those translations were lousy). Maybe there could be a few translations "officially" if there are arguments and they should all be riddled with footnotes as things absolutely must be explained. I guess that would be both translation and analysis. Anyway, thanks guys.

The best translations for the first two albums that I found were the ones at mf-international done by "The Honorable" (well, I couldn't gauge the translations myself for quality against the originals, but they seemed to be the best annotated and etc.)

sorry for my terrible work this time its a really bad translation
i tried to give you a general idea but there were several places i just could not understand
if theres other French willing to help me i would appreciate it please PM me

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,371
The wind blows in the right direction again for Mylène Farmer's Lolita,

2
00:00:03,372 --> 00:00:06,523
finally, Farmer's ex and now its her husband

3
00:00:06,524 --> 00:00:09,700
Jérémy, who works with Alizée, 3rd album, meeting.

4
00:00:11,408 --> 00:00:14,096
Remember a few years ago Alizée was this.

5
00:00:14,097 --> 00:00:17,549
A playful girl, a cute little wink, an flirting adolescent

6
00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:20,149
whom we gave money to so she could buy herself lollipops.

7
00:00:20,150 --> 00:00:24,598
Do you have little kids? Then forget all that! The old singer from

8
00:00:24,599 --> 00:00:28,205
Graines de Stars has swapped Mylène for a corset appropriate to the era,

9
00:00:28,206 --> 00:00:31,563
and comes back with Psychédélices, her multicoloured album.

10
00:00:32,523 --> 00:00:38,940
I try to create my universe, and to create my sound with

11
00:00:38,941 --> 00:00:44,893
certain influences, things that I like, more éléctro, pop, rock, urban,

12
00:00:44,894 --> 00:00:47,286
voilà, and I know how to make a mix.

13
00:00:47,287 --> 00:00:52,821
Fed up of the rules, Alizée did not want to choose between all the

14
00:00:52,822 --> 00:00:56,572
influences that inspired her. Like her model Gwen Stefani, she even

15
00:00:56,573 --> 00:00:59,871
courageously tried rap,

16
00:00:59,872 --> 00:01:00,439
by talking to a master of the genre Oxmo Puccino.

17
00:01:02,152 --> 00:01:06,664
I asked Oxmo, because to convince him he was the rapper who

18
00:01:06,665 --> 00:01:11,624
set the bar for other French rappers, who talked about other things,

19
00:01:11,625 --> 00:01:16,364
to have flow, that it be innate, that it be learned so I asked

20
00:01:16,365 --> 00:01:20,093
Oxmo to really teach me, I let myself loose, and

21
00:01:20,094 --> 00:01:21,994
it was a great experience.

22
00:01:21,995 --> 00:01:24,235
You hear it when my man isn't feelin good

23
00:01:24,236 --> 00:01:26,661
A kiss and I set sail

24
00:01:26,662 --> 00:01:28,780
It's the awesome source

25
00:01:28,781 --> 00:01:31,140
Destination, a destination

26
00:01:32,048 --> 00:01:35,535
Take risks and putting her own choices first, that is

27
00:01:35,536 --> 00:01:38,622
Alizée's new objective, its for sure that her story

28
00:01:38,623 --> 00:01:41,569
began with Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat.

29
00:01:41,570 --> 00:01:44,614
Did they follow their ex-student's activities?

30
00:01:46,583 --> 00:01:48,543
They were the first, its their album.

31
00:01:49,538 --> 00:01:50,899
And what did they think about it?

32
00:01:53,825 --> 00:01:58,108
Ok! This beautiful mother will do without, producer of her album,

33
00:01:58,109 --> 00:02:01,674
she also works with her family, because its her husband

34
00:02:01,675 --> 00:02:05,436
Jérémy Châtelain who codirects Psychédélices. Between the

35
00:02:05,437 --> 00:02:06,315
studio and the house is it easy to work with your husband?

36
00:02:06,316 --> 00:02:10,013
It's not like we went to the office to work, we share the same

37
00:02:10,014 --> 00:02:15,050
passion, the references that I had for this album, and he understood them,

38
00:02:15,051 --> 00:02:20,593
and tried to take the project where I wanted it to be taken.

39
00:02:20,594 --> 00:02:25,454
Good for her! The JT of music is on the move, so its

40
00:02:25,455 --> 00:02:27,258
grown up and well connected that Alizée comes back to

41
00:02:27,259 --> 00:02:30,007
the stage, and with this sexy little bomb.

42
00:02:30,008 --> 00:02:34,634
I think I succeeded but anyway I put my heart into it.

43
00:02:34,635 --> 00:02:36,640
And also modest!

1
00:00:03,205 --> 00:00:07,532
Alizée is back after a three year absence! And its quite the event.

2
00:00:07,533 --> 00:00:09,049
Let's get right to the interview.

3
00:00:12,264 --> 00:00:16,233
It is the most waited for comeback! Comment, imagine, get jealous, of this

4
00:00:16,234 --> 00:00:20,832
end of 2007, at the age of 23 Alizée the lolita created by Mylène Farmer is

5
00:00:20,833 --> 00:00:22,541
back after three years of silence.

6
00:00:22,542 --> 00:00:25,805
I took some time for myself, I spent time with

7
00:00:25,806 --> 00:00:29,847
my family, and stepped back a little, in relation to everything that I had done.

8
00:00:31,057 --> 00:00:34,489
When we meet Alizée, what gets you is her very refreshing demeanor.

9
00:00:34,490 --> 00:00:37,073
We feel that she has definitely decided to
take her life and career into her own hands,

10
00:00:37,074 --> 00:00:41,778
the proof: it was three years ago that she decided to free herself from her

11
00:00:41,779 --> 00:00:43,849
mentors, Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat,

12
00:00:43,850 --> 00:00:46,094
and Alizée found herself without a record company.

13
00:00:46,095 --> 00:00:53,150
I was no longer fifteen, I wanted a bit of freedom,

14
00:00:53,151 --> 00:00:57,050
in fact I only knew one way to work, its that during four

15
00:00:57,051 --> 00:01:00,988
years I always worked with the same people, and then my objective was to

16
00:01:00,989 --> 00:01:03,803
learn other ways of working.

17
00:01:04,618 --> 00:01:07,922
A great passion that definitely was commented about. When the

18
00:01:07,923 --> 00:01:11,343
When the first rumours of Alizée's new album started to come out,

19
00:01:11,344 --> 00:01:13,796
the press spoke of a painful separation and even a "revenge" song

20
00:01:13,797 --> 00:01:15,956
about Mylène Farmer.

21
00:01:17,321 --> 00:01:21,889
I took that with a good laugh, but at the same time people have to talk

22
00:01:21,890 --> 00:01:24,500
when there is nothing to talk about.

23
00:01:24,501 --> 00:01:28,284
What was talked about also was that Alizée's brand was taken by

24
00:01:28,285 --> 00:01:31,790
Farmer/Boutonnat, and if she wanted to continue to use her name, which

25
00:01:31,791 --> 00:01:33,773
is really hers, Alizée had to buy it back.

26
00:01:33,774 --> 00:01:38,127
No, I bought my name back for the symbolic price of one euro.

27
00:01:38,128 --> 00:01:40,378


28
00:01:40,379 --> 00:01:44,188
Something that knows about today's release, and about rumours that

29
00:01:44,189 --> 00:01:47,099
Alizée will never talk about, the young lady has great communication skills.

30
00:01:56,710 --> 00:01:59,862
We are forced to look at her education in music and media,

31
00:01:59,863 --> 00:02:03,683
under the guidance of the French singer who knows the most about mystery.

32
00:02:03,684 --> 00:02:09,647
I learned a lot of things, I learned toughness, that we don't get a free lunch,

33
00:02:09,648 --> 00:02:14,053
that it's always necessary to work, to always give, more than is necessary.

34
00:02:14,054 --> 00:02:15,566
I think I was in the right school.

35
00:02:15,567 --> 00:02:19,420
For two years Alizée worked secretly, to convince herself about the points

36
00:02:19,421 --> 00:02:22,919
of working with her, the result, a surprising album, very rock,

37
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:24,933
that expresses an evident desire to break away.

38
00:02:26,627 --> 00:02:30,125
And to show the first single Mademoiselle Juliette, Alizée dressed herself

39
00:02:30,126 --> 00:02:32,679
just like in cinema, just like Mylène's?

40
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,475
I wanted to, like her, a reference, because that's what I did before,

41
00:02:36,476 --> 00:02:42,728
because Mylène, her clips are film. I did what I was taught,

42
00:02:42,729 --> 00:02:49,173
voilà, how I was taught to work, and I tried at my own

43
00:02:49,174 --> 00:02:50,641
humble level to do the same thing for me.

44
00:02:50,642 --> 00:02:55,510
The same for her? As mysterious as her? As in control as her.

45
00:02:55,511 --> 00:02:57,070
A feeling that she has already learned it.

46
00:02:57,071 --> 00:03:00,972
Its not Mylène and Laurent who told me "don't say this", "don't

47
00:03:00,973 --> 00:03:03,986
do that, you need to sway less, more. I am like this

48
00:03:03,987 --> 00:03:08,451
I am shy, timid, and that I don't think will change.

49
00:03:08,452 --> 00:03:10,740
Alizée will not say anything more about the past,

50
00:03:10,741 --> 00:03:14,371
but for now, Alizée's principal collaborator is Jérémy,

51
00:03:14,372 --> 00:03:18,039
her husband, so when two stars marry, have a baby,

52
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,578
and a CD, what does that give?

53
00:03:19,579 --> 00:03:24,271
And the covers of People magazine, definitely talked a lot about it.

54
00:03:24,609 --> 00:03:29,727
I don't wager with life, but I protect myself a lot. I think that the fact

55
00:03:29,728 --> 00:03:35,591
he's on the album, it won't stop them from talking more or less,

56
00:03:35,592 --> 00:03:39,578
if he wasn't on the album, he would have been talked about anyway.

57
00:03:40,327 --> 00:03:43,765
At 23 years of age, Alizée has already sold more than 5 million albums in the world,

58
00:03:43,766 --> 00:03:46,514
today she has definitively shelved her Lolita clothes,

59
00:03:46,515 --> 00:03:50,490
and its even her who did the dance, that's what we say to ourselves.
