French Speakers, I Need Your Help

[Lil Red]

who is pretty fluent in french here?

[Birgitta Noel]

not me, but I know some folk who are if you don't find anyone here....I suspect you will though.

[Guest T-Bone]

I don't think anyone will admit to it, if they want to be taken seriously at the debate table....

[u]'Celui Que J'voulais' by Kayna Samet[/u]
Toi qui aurais dû tout savoir
Des fois on se croise, tu me reconnais pas
Pourtant j’habite pas si loin
Et je crois que des fois j’ai besoin de toi
Et même si j’voulais que tu me vois devenir une femme
J’ai appris à me dire en silence
Que c’est tant pis
T’étais pas celui que j’voulais
Pas celui que j’voulais

Tu sais des fois je d’mandes pourquoi
Même pas tu prends d’mes nouvelles
Et même si le temps ne pardonne pas tout
j’garde le meilleur, des fois je regrète
Et même si j’voulais qu’tu m’vois devenir une femme
J’ai appris, et j’le dis en chantant
Que c’est tant pis
T’étais pas celui que j’voulais
Héhé…Pas celui que j’voulais

Maintenant j’ai grandis
J’ai su ranger le mal
Et j’crois que ça aurait été mieux
De t’aimer, ça aurait été plus normal
Tu sais, tu sais, tu sais
Que j’ai pas eu le choix
C’était écrit j’y avais pas droit
Maintenant je veux que tu saches
Maintenant je veux que tu saches
Où que tu sois
Papa

Ne me demande pas d’aimer
Ne me demande pas de te haïr s’il te plaît
J’peux pas oublier d’où je viens
Y a tellement de choses qu’on aurait pu faire faire ensemble
Maintenant dis moi
J’voulais trop qu’tu m’vois devenir une femme
J’ai appris à me dire en pleurant
Que c’est tant pis
T’étais pas celui que j’voulais
Je m’dis qu’c’est tant pis
C’est tant pis
Tant pis
T’étais pas celui que j’voulais
Que j’voulais

here

I cant fight this feeling any longer
And yet Im still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show

I tell myself that I cant hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when were together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear

And even as I wander
Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crashing through your door
Baby, I cant fight this feeling anymore

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
Ive been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that Im following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone Id never find

And even as I wander Im keeping you in sight
Youre a candle in the window on a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might

And I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever

Cause I cant fight this feeling anymore
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I cant fight this feeling anymore.

wow hot stuff!

okay mister smarty pants, what about this song:

[u]'Pour Oublier Je Dors' by Mansfield.TYA[/u]

Mon livre de Victor, sent le Calvin Klein,
Il me rappelle encore, ces souvenirs lointains
Depuis ma femme est morte
Et je peux me saouler
Au vin de l'assassin
J'ai tué ma bien aimée
Un planté de couteau
N'aurait pas suffit
Il m'a fallut voir grand
Pour lui ôter la vie
Si je vais mieux maintenant,
Je n' me le demande pas
Mais j'ai défoncé ses dents
Pour qu'on ne me retrouve pas

Je me promène en ville
Avec toutes ces odeurs
De meurtres et de tortures
Qui me font toujours peur
Je lis encore souvent
Mon livre de Victor
Et aussi je me mens
Oh pour oublier je dors
Je dors en chien de fusil
Pour ne plus penser au marteaux, aux fourchettes et aux scies
Que j'ai planté dans son dos
Si je vais mieux maintenant,
Je n' me le demande pas
Mais j'ai défoncé ses dents
Pour qu'on n'me retrouve pas

Maintenant ma femme est morte,
Et je fais des cauchemars
Je ne regrette pas mon acte,
Je regrette mon état
Je pensais m'en remettre,
Mais en fait je n'peux pas
Un meurtre sur la conscience
Ça n's'oublie pas comme ça
Alors je tourne en rond,
Avec mon brave Victor,
On a pété les plombs
On tue les chiens dehors,
Si je vais mieux maintenant,
Je n'me le demande pas
Mais j'ai défoncé ses dents
Pour qu'on n'me retrouve pas

(Merci à musikurt pour cettes paroles)

or this song:

[u]'Mon Amoureuse' by Mansfield.TYA[/u]

Quelle était belle ma môme opaline
Vue sur une prairie solitaire
Ma belle tendre sculpture androgyne
Tu n'insistas pas pour me plaire

Je ne suis pas de celles qui bondissent
Sur le premier bijou souriant
Du temps il me faut pour que j'agisse
Coeur de mousse modère ses battements

Sous une pluie moqueuse
Je te vois t'éloigner
De moi mon amoureuse
Telle une mer préssée (x2)

Où cours-tu ma fugitive?
Mon indécision t'a glacée
Mais elle te réclame mon âme vive
Tu m'as trop vite abandonnée

Sous une pluie moqueuse
Je te vois t'éloigner
DE moi mon amoureuse
Telle une mer pressée

Ancré dans ma peau pensive
J'ai le sent-bon de l'ingrate
Une absurde rancoeur avive
L'odeur d'une ivresse écarlate

Elle emporte avec elle
Ses pensées secrètes
Ses drapés, ses dentelles
Ses cendres de cigarettes

[my EVERYTHING!]

I'm pretty good, just not great. I'll see what I can make of it.

It totally depends on which dialect you use...


both could be construed as correct

hot stuff, I just don't see your 'translation' working. Did you actually translate it, or did you find what you posted somewhere? 'Cause I don't see how what Lil Red posted translates into what you posted.

Ok, I just saw that Can’t Fight This Feeling is a song by Reo Speedwagon.
Were you playing a practical joke, hot stuff?

[u]'The One That I Wanted'[/u] by Kayna Samet

You who should have known all
Sometimes we cross, you dont remember me
However I do not live so far
And I believe at times I need you
And even if I wanted for you to see me becoming a woman
I learned to tell myself in silence
That it is so much worse
I was not the one that I wanted
Not the one I wanted


You know sometimes I ask why
Also you do not take the news I tell you
Even if time does not forgive all
I keep the best but sometimes I regret
Even if I wanted you to see me becoming a women
I've learned it and I've said it while singing
It would be worse
I was not the one that I wanted
Not the one I wanted


Now I've grown up
She knew to fix the wrong
I believe it would have been better
To love you, it would have been better
You know, you know, you know
I did not have the choice
It is written, I did not have the right
Now I want you to know
Now I want you to know
Or that you are,
Father


Dont ask me to love
Dont ask me to hate if it pleases
I cannot forget where I come from
There are so many things we could have done together
Now tell me
I wanted you to see me becoming a women
I learned to tell myself by crying
That it is so worse
You were not the one I wanted
I tell myself its much worse
Its much worse
Much worse
You were not the one I wanted
That I wanted







My french grandmother and myself worked on this for an hour We did our best.

[Lil Red]

hot stuff, you are an

i don't like you anymore
