Hi all,
Here's a french song about the passage of time and the possibility to stop it with poetic writing.
Lyrics are not easy to translate. Christian

1) Perché sur le dos d'un flamant,
j'ai vu passer un garnement
qui jouait à gober le vent,
à traverser les nuages blancs.
Sur un morceau de papier blanc,
j'étale des mots, des sentiments.
Je m'amuse à narguer le temps,
en le figeant, juste en rêvant.

2) Les nuages blancs se sont percés
et les gouttes se sont déversées.
L'enfant joue à s'éclabousser
dans les flaques qui se sont formées.
Sur mon morceau de papier blanc,
les lettres ont plu abondamment.
Elles ont plu à mon âme d'enfant
qui s'est souv'nu de ses dix ans.

3) Le garçon est rentré chez lui,
le corps trempé, le cœur ravi,
se jurant d' revenir ici
pour assouvir ses folles envies.
Sur un morceau de papier blanc,
un autre jour demain m'attend.
J'irai encore narguer le temps,
en le figeant, juste en rêvant.

Thanks Will !
I've tried to translate the lyrics......

Taunting time

1) On the back of a flamingo,
I saw a kid
who was playing to swallow the wind,
to cross the white clouds.
On a sheet of white paper,
I write words and feelings.
I have fun taunting time,
by freezing it, just dreaming.

2) White clouds have been drilled
and it has rained.
The child plays to splash
in the puddles.
On a sheet of white paper,
the letters rained abundantly.
My child's soul was pleased
to remember when I was ten years old.

3) The boy went home,
his wet body and his light heart,
swearing to come back here
to satisfy his crazy cravings.
On a sheet of white paper,
another day tomorrow is waiting for me.
I will have fun taunting time,
by freezing it, just dreaming.

Chris,

Nice chanson!
The fragrance of French pops in the early 70 's drifts.
I do not remember the names of the singers anymore, but at that time I often listened to French pops.
It is different from your usual style.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

That was a pleasant listen, even with no real clue what was being sung. Nice singing, clear arrangement.

Well done!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

That's very nice...a little de-essing of the vocals would be good but not essential.
Always well constructed Chris - always.


Cheers
