Round #21; for hbics - French/non-English-language songs
Fandom: Gen
Subject: French/non-English-language songs
Title: Love Languages
Notes: Sorry for this being a day belated, but merry, merry Christmas to you, hbics! This mix is for the Secret Santa exchange at waywardmixes, and gosh, was it fun to do. I may have gotten a little bit carried away, but I certainly hope my recipient doesn't mind. C:
Warnings: A couple of songs contain slurs in their languages, so if you go looking for further translations than I give, be warned for that.
About This Mix: Not much to say, this time! This is a mix for those who, as the title implies, love languages. All languages. While this mix has a strong focus on French (twelve out of the twenty-two songs on it are French!), it also contains ten songs in ten other languages. In order, those other languages featured here are: Spanish, Italian, German, Swedish, Swedish Sami, Greek, Russian, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese. I wanted to give a good sampling of languages, sounds, potentially new artists for you, and overall, just beautiful, catchy, enjoyable music!
Once again, merry Christmas, and have a great holiday season!
~*~*~*~
1. Emilie Simon - La Vie En Rose (Life in Rosy Hues)
When he takes me in his arms
And speaks softly to me
I see life in rosy hues
He tells me words of love
Words of every day
And in them I become something
He has entered my heart
A part of happiness
Whereof I understand the reason
It's he for me and I for him, throughout life
He has told me, he has sworn to me, for life
And from the things that I sense
Now I can feel within me
My heart that beats
2. Manu Chao - Me Gustas Tú (I Like You)
I like airplanes, I like you
I like to travel, I like you
I like the morning, I like you
I like the wind, I like you
I like to dream, I like you
I like the sea, I like you
What am I going to do? I don't know
What am I going to do? I don't know anymore
What am I going to do? I'm lost
What time is it, my darling?
3. Coeur de pirate - Adieu (Goodbye)
Do you think that you're finally able to say to me
That you really want us to stay friends
No, its kind, it works like that
I already have lots of friends
I will therefore not have anything more to hear from you
To re-enter the night, when I wait for the dawn
That arrives pushing the hours
I get up and you die
Threats of leaving
Because I scream
When you sing your memories
Really dear
Take the door therefore
Because you know that nothing goes
But say goodbye to me tomorrow
But say goodbye to me on the way
Go and see the others, I don't think anything of it
I loved you and I assure you it's the end
4. Elisa feat. Luciano Ligabue - Gli Ostacoli del Cuore (The Obstacles of the Heart)
There's a beginning cheerfulness
Between the obstacles of the heart
That I want to deserve
Although while I'm looking at the sea
While I let a ridiculous thought
Sink
So many things you don't know about me
So many things you can't know
So many things to carry on the journey together
So many things you don't know about me
So many things you had to deserve
So many things to throw in the journey together
There's a beginning of energy
Pushing me to swing
Between my saying and my doing
And feeling is noisy
Walking among the obstacles of the heart
Is noisy
5. Noir Désir feat. Manu Chao - Le Vent Nous Portera (The Wind Will Carry Us)
I'm not afraid of the journey
We have to see it, we have to taste it
The twists and turns deep inside
Everything is okay there
The wind will carry us
Your message to Ursa Major
And the direction of the journey
A moment of softness
Even if it doesn't result in anything
The wind will take it away
Everything will disappear but
The wind will carry us...
The smell of years gone by
Those can knock at your door
An infinity of destinies
We suggest one, but can we keep it?
The wind will take it away
6. Wolfsheim - Kein Zurück (No Turning Back)
Do you still know how it was?
Childhood - wonderful
The world is colorful and lovely
Until someday you understand
That not every goodbye
Means that there will be a reunion...
Your life only goes in circles
So full of wasted time
You endlessly postpone your dreams
Someday you want to live your life
But if not today, then when?
Because "someday" is just another dream too far away
Always forward, step by step
There is no way back
What now is, will never be undone
Time escapes us
What's done is done
And what is now, will never happen that way again
7. Mafia K'1 Fry - Guerre (War)
We didn't wish it but it's war
Grow in an estate, you know, it's war
Social inequality, my brother, it's war
France want to harm us, normal, it's war
We try to shape up, my sister, it's war
We must build up a better future, it's war
We fight for our parents, understand, it's war
We don't want our children to sweat blood, so it's war
Since there is euro, we suffer, it's war
France is on the edge of the abyss, it's war
No money, no bet, it's crazy, it's war
Of course, it's against the poorest people they have declared war
Arab or black, we are like a scapegoat
They have only two projects for us: prison and misery
If you want money and respect, make war
Although I love peace, I can't deny it's war...
Lift your guns up, clench your fists, aim at the head if it's necessary
If you wish for peace, prepare for war, cross swords
8. MOVITS! - Fel Del Av Gården (The Wrong Part of Town)
Things started well, but then came problems
Put my foot in it early -- the tax bill
I mean obligations, rights, authorities, justice system
Chances are small, the employment office admits
Perhaps one should change his name or
Sell his camp trailer or
Knock out his gold tooth
But at some point, prejudice has to catch up
You can call me an outsider
Because I didn't do what the others did when they did what everyone used to do
Sorry if I´m bothering you
No, I'm not the upstairs neighbor
But every time the old lady calls the cops she says I´m the one making noise...
Peace in the home, or something like that
Hardly have time to listen to your critique
Not Lykke Li but rather so hap-py
So, old lady, give me a chance and listen to my music
But no
I don't take up customs where I go
If the spoon is silver I'll take it when I arrive
They've said so many times
So thanks but no thanks, I'll find the exit
9. Kyo - Dernière Danse (Last Dance)
I've traveled her body for a long time, brushed her face one hundred times
I found gold and even some stars while wiping away her tears
I've learned the purity of her shapes by heart
I still draw them sometimes
She's a part of me...
I knew her too early, but it's not my fault, the arrow crossed my skin
It's a pain that lasts, that does more good than bad
But I know the story, it's too late
In her eyes, you can see she's preparing herself
For a long journey
I just want one final dance
Before the shadow and indifference
Vertigo, then silence
I just want one final dance
If I died tomorrow, it wouldn't change a thing I got from her hands
The happiness anchored in my soul, it's even too much for one man alone
And I saw her leave without saying anything, she just needed to breathe
Thank you for having enchanted my life

11. Yoko Kanno and the Seatbelts feat. Carla Vallet - Fantaisie Sign
Like a child who sees
Time passing funnily
It is always you
It is to you me
On the wings and the songs of great love...
It is like the green of the fields and
Like a bird which flies
It is always me
It is always you
Always the rock of the excited soul
Like the air, it's sweetly sharp
The blue of the sky well seen
It is the only fantasy
Here for always
It is always you
It is always me
For always
And more days
And days
And days
It is always you
And me
And you
12. Alkinoos Ioannidis - Apogeuma Sto Dentro (Afternoon Under the Tree)
The world is retiring
My beautiful, alien moment
The wells are getting deeper
My life, you are empty
The world is retiring, it is evening
My beautiful, alien moment, stay a while
The wells are getting deeper, the moon
My life, you are empty, laugh a little if you love me
The world is retiring, it is evening, don't speak
My beautiful, alien moment, stay a while if you love me
The wells are getting deeper, the moon whenever you look
My life, you are empty, laugh a little if you love me
The stars are blooming, my dream
Whenever you pass
Give me both of your hands
And the world, if you love me
13. Mika - Elle Me Dit (She Tells Me)
She tells me
"Write a happy song
Not a depressing song
A song everybody loves"
She tells me
"You'll become a millionaire
You'll have the right to be proud
Don't end up like your father..."
She tells me "It's your life
Do what you want, oh well
One day you'll understand
One day you'll regret it"
She tells me, "You're a zero
Get out of your bubble a little
You don't do anything important
Looks like you like that"
Why are you wasting your life?
Why are you wasting your life?
Why are you wasting your life?
Dance, dance, dance
14. Yulia Savicheva - Esli V Serdce Zhivet Lyubov' (If Love Lives In Your Heart)
The days go by, the years fly away
The oceans dry up
But you are alone, in your soul and your eyes
These tears, these wounds...
You've watched all the movies about love
But there are also a lot of fairy tales in real life
Don't worry, wait, you'll see
It'll all happen, just not right away
Don't you look, don't look around
Stay the way you are
Stay yourself
The whole world lights up your eyes
If love lives in your heart
15. Mathieu Chedid - Qui De Nous Deux (Which One of Us)
Wooden arms
Wrenches as fingers
Chords for muscles
Shake us up
Shake me up
Make the division, saturate the sound
Which one of us
Inspires the other?
Yes, I am playing
From a sixth member
In the form of your hips
Belly to belly
Elegant companion
Which one of us
Inspires the other?
Which one of us
Speeds the other?
16. Da Endorphine - Yah Tum Hai Fah Pid Whung (Don't Disappoint The Heavens)
The heavens must have eyes
Because they led you to join me on this path
During times when I'm physically and emotionally drained
You give me the strength to fight on
Even if I fall down I know that I still have your support
Even if I mess up or make a mistake
At least I still have you to be my finish line
And every time I lose anything
I've always considered that I gain something in return
And discover how lucky I am
To have met you
Let's stay together like this forever
The moment we separate, Heaven would be disappointed
Let's stay here together, my heart will take refuge
There in your hands
Don't go anywhere, don't go anywhere, don't go anywhere
17. Housse de Racket - Synthétiseur (Synthesizer)
I'm a star
I quit tennis
I leave my guitar
My name is Elvis
Synthesizer
I'm a star
I quit tennis
I leave my guitar
My name is Elvis
I play Synthesizer
Girls swoon, the boys are afraid
I'm burning under the spotlight
Synthesizer
Synthesizer
Synthesizer
Synthesizer...
18. Deserts Chang - Beautiful Woman
I threw a backpack carrying a little trouble
Hanging on to what will become a very good mood
I mean good, man...
He had just left the beautiful hint of a smile
I feel like someone found a brilliant heart
I mean heart, girl...
Hang your coat and I know
Everything you desire, will come
Beautiful woman
Beautiful smile
Beautiful woman
Beautiful life
Beautiful woman
And you can be kind
Beautiful woman
Beautiful life
19. Stromae - Alors on danse (So We Dance)
When we say study, it means work
When we say work, it means cash
When we say money, it means spending
When we say credit, it means borrowing
When we say debt, it's the bailiff
Yes, it's being in deep shit
When we say love, it means kids
Say forever and it means divorce
When we say family, it means sorrow
As misfortune never comes alone
We say crisis and mean the world
Famine, the Third World
We say fatigue and mean waking up, dulled from sleepless nights
So we go out to forget all our problems
So we dance
20. RADWIMPS - me me she (effeminate)
Along with saying "goodbye"
I wanted you to tell me
How to break our promises and fall in love with someone else
But the truth is, I don't want to know
We made a promise, right?
"We'll be together till we're 100 years old"
I didn't think that the 101st year would come this quickly
Saying things like this
I'm really sorry
Even though I understand in my head, my heart is making it difficult...
Along with "goodbye"
My words to you are...
"Thank you" together with
"I'm sorry"
The you that I loved, the me that you loved
Doing that, before I knew it, I thought of myself as being important
If I was to give a name to this love, I would call it "thank you"
BONUS
21. Vocaloid - Poucet - Karakuri Pierrot (Clown's Trick)
For two hours now
I've been waiting for you
You're still not here, so your answer must be no
And all the passers-by
Even the white clouds
Are laughing at me still waiting here
It seems so easy
But it is so difficult
I can move on as soon as I face the truth
However, I'm unable to believe
Or rather, I refuse to believe
That when it comes down to it, you must see me as a poor, sad, crying clown
Ah, and I spin, and I spin, only to become tired
Ah, and my breath, and my breath has run out
Yes, this is nothing other than my inescapable destiny
Never, I'll never be able to be by your side
BONUS
22. Un Monstre à Paris - Vanessa Paradis & -M- - Un Petit Baiser (A Little Kiss)
It's enough to believe
Every glass of water is part of the sea
It's no more complicated than a simple hello
No more complicated than a simple kiss
So why not, why not?
Why not?
Because it's hard
It's hard
It's hard
One day
Two days
Three days
It lasts forever
A little kiss of love

It's hard
It's hard
One day
Two days
Three days
It lasts forever
A little kiss of love
