[Adam Sanchez]

What's the name of that song anyway? English and French?

 

[Citizen87645]

"J'en Ai Marre" which translates to "I'm Fed Up."

 

[Adam Sanchez]

The lyrics to that song are interesting to put it mildly.

 

[Inspector Hammer!]

I'm actually a little disappointed to hear what she is really saying, I had all these fantasies about what she might have been singing about lol.

Plus it just sounds sexier in French.

I know, I know...



It was like she was singing right to you, eh John?!

 

[Cees Alons]

John, do you think the translation is accurate?

(And do you want to know?)

Let's get John back to the French version...
This IS, btw, a preview of my RoundUp tribute to Alizee this weekend! It is from the concert disc that is going to be released. Think little white dress sted little black dress...

 

[Cees Alons]

The first lines of that song are:

J'ai la peau douce

Dans mon bain de mousse

Je m'éclabousse

J'en ris ...

I have a soft skin

In my bath of foam

I wet myself (throw droplets on myself, can also mean: give myself a bad name)

I laugh about it...

The French text is inherently more, uhm, complicated than the English translation in the previous post.

Damn, I wish they had a bit more light on some of those other dancers.

 

[Adam Sanchez]

Wait so the english version of her own song isn't translated correctly? I'm confused.

The english one is kind of growing on me, though the lyrics are odd. She does look great in the video though.

 

[Cees Alons]

That girl is 24 tomorrow (her Birthday is August, 21st), BTW, and born on Corsica (like Napoléon).

She was 16 (in 2000) when she had her first huge success with the song "Moi..Lolita" (I, Lolita).

Are you messing with me or are you serious lol? Actually, don't tell me, I like your translation better.

Thanks for the french version resurrection.

BTW, any chance that concert is being released on BD? I would freakin' love to see that girl in 1080p on my 60" Mit!

 

[Cees Alons]

John,

No messing around or with you.

That text is 100% correct and the translation is as good as I could do it.

And now I found a shortened English version (I'm going to be hearing this song in my sleep!) in which she's wearing the same little black outfit from the "original" video!

I'm not saying that thought didn't run through my mind at one time or another!

I know John prefers to think she's singing something suggestive directly to him...but I think it's the foreign language (foreign to most of us anyway) that does add to the intrigue.



I had this image of some Europeans (who don't speak English) watching a Britney Spears video (similar back-up dancers) from a few years back and contemplating some of the same thoughts. (What eez thees "Oops, I deed eet again?!? Sexy!")

J'En Ai Marre!
J'ai la peau douce
Dans mon bain de mousse
Je m'éclabousse
J'en ris!
Mon poisson rouge
Dans mon bain de mousse
Je l'emmitouffle
Je lui dis:
J'ai pas de problème
Je fénéante
Pas de malaise
Je fénéante
Dans l'eau je baigne
C'est l'important
Bien à mon aise dans l'air du temps
J'ai la peau douce
Dans mon bain de mousse
Je brule à l'ombre
Des bombes
Tout est délice
Des lits des cibles
Je fais la liste des choses
Qui m'indisposent
J'en ai marre de ceux qui pleurent
Qui ne roule qu'à 2 à l'heure
Qui se lamentent et qui s'fixent
Sur l'idée d'une idée fixe
J'en ai marre de ceux qui râlent
Des extrêmistes à 2 balles
Qui voient la vie tout en noire
Qui m'expedient dans l'cafard
J'en ai marre de la grande soeur
Qui gémit tout et qui pleure
Marre de la pluie, des courgettes
Qui m'font vomir sous la couette
J'en ai marre de ces cyniques
Et dans les prés les colchiques
J'en ai marre d'en avoir marre
Aussi...
J'ai la peau douce
Dans mon bain de mousse
Pas de secousses sismiques
Je me prelasse
Et me délasse
C'est mon état aquatique
Y'a comme un hic!
J'en ai marre de ceux qui pleurent
Qui ne roule qu'à 2 à l'heure
Qui se lamentent et qui s'fixent
Sur l'idée d'une idée fixe
J'en ai marre de ceux qui râlent
Des extrêmistes à 2 balles
Qui voient la vie tout en noire
Qui m'expedient dans l'cafard
J'en ai marre de la grande soeur
Qui gémit tout et qui pleure
Marre de la pluie, des courgettes
Qui m'font vomir sous la couette
J'en ai marre de ces cyniques
Et dans les prés les colchiques
J'en ai marre d'en avoir marre
Aussi...
Badabam...
J'En Ai Marre - English Version
I’m fed up!
Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
My goldfish is under me
To bathe for hours
Makes my mouth water
I’m “foamely” ecstatic
It’s not a problem
I lazy ‘round
Bubbly and stubborn
I lazy ‘round
Melon and water
Is just a dream
It makes me wonder
Is it a “sin” ?
Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
“Bombs”, you keep away from me!
Today lying low
Twisting up my toes
I swim in such harmony
So what bothers me:
Chorus :
I’m fed up with loneliness
With my uncle overstressed
Fumbling, crawling for something
That never shows, just a dream.
I’m fed up with creeps crying
Over the past, such a sin
Not to be cool, but a fool
If I could mess up their rules.
I’m fed up with your complaints
Baby, well I’m not a saint!
Fed up with the rain, the plane…
That makes me throw up again.
I’m fed up with all cynics
Bathing caps and all critics
I’m fed up with being fed up! Poor me !
Bubbles and water
Legs up for hours
My goldfish still under me!
Delight of pleasures
Aquatic treasures
A place out of misery, my fantasy
My uncle overstressed?!

In that case, that's hot.



I've always been a push-over for girls who speak other languages or speaks english with a foreign accent of some kind. For instance I could sit for hours and listen to Kiera Knightley ramble on about jibberish, the girl could be reading me the telephone book and i'd still think it was hotter than hell lol.

(of ALL people, you had to use a gal who speaks the standard form of your native language as an example? )


Quote:










Je m'éclabousse

More like "I splash myself." "Wet myself"? No wonder John went nuts!

The English version Mike posted is not a verbatim translation, though essentially the same story. But also somewhat more suggestive.

Ok.... I don't know who this girl is but I came across her while surfing...
Anyone know who she is?

OK Wow: I saw that girl ages ago on www.hotornot.com. I remember it like yesterday. I tried to save the link to her picture, but must have done something wrong because the link took me to a different person every time. I never thought I would see her again! This was at least 5 years ago.
As far as I know, she is just some ordinary girl who posted her picture on hotornot like countless others.
As Mike suggested, her figure is vastly exaggerated here, which was never necessary in the first place -- she was smoking as is. The evils of the digital age I guess.
Amazing. Where did you find the picture, Gary?

Can't...stop...the...song...

It's fun to read along with the lyrics while listening to the two different versions of the song.

 

[Adam Sanchez]

That video is so mesmerising. Such a gorgeous woman! She looks like she filmed the english one minutes after the French Performance.

Damn catchy song I admit.
