Lawrence of Arabia "Voilà"

[nevanovna]

Crap French musique, rien affaire avec le film.

[Supduplemup]

Its a very nice song and great movie.

But what is the song about?

[aerisisso]

Hum... well, it's sort of subtle but when you really pay attention to the lyrics, it's about a woman who has problems connecting with the world because she's been raped and she can't leave that behind her.

Because it's never stated outright, though, the image/lyrics association in the vid changes the original intended meaning...

[X33vince]

Believe it or not, I'm currently watching this one while hearing ''sleeping with ghosts'' by placebo, you know, "soulmates never die ..." and in fact it goes pretty well ^__^ by the way it's nice to have a few lawrence vids here, should be more of them ...

[kylahehe]

Anyone there?

im naked atm Dz

[santaevita1945]

Can somebody please tell me how they cut clips from DVDs? I'd love to make a music video for Lawrence of Arabia, but have no idea how to do it.

[AllenbysEyes]

You need to get proper software. Most of it's prohibitively expensive though.

[santaevita1945]

Ah, right. Thanks!

[AllenbysEyes]

Erm... you wouldn't happen to have the lyrics for that song in English?

[aerisisso]

No, sorry.

There doesn't seem to be any translation on the interwebs and even though I've been meaning to write one, I still haven't found the time >_>

[AllenbysEyes]

That's okay, I'd just like to know what's being said. It's a nice song.

[Phersu]

Very roughly (sorry for the mistakes) :

It is an old story in my head.

Though I try to get rid of it, it remains there. It's an old souvenir, the lighting of a match. I may tell it to leave but it remains.

Refrain : Voilà (3x). If only one could choose what we are. But Voilà (3x) we can't.

It's like a habit, a little like a mania. I love solitude, it's almost tyrannical. Don't take me from my shell when I hibernate. Sorry for striking your lanterns.

Refrain.

[Phersu]

At 1'28": That Guy! I could have crushed him. I could have done much better! I could have "dephrased" (sic) him looking eyes to eyes. Go back, back, back. But I did nothing, I did not move, he got what he wanted. Refrain. I decided I would decide everything. I will not get invaded and bugged. I'll listen only to myself who wants my own good. But I talk so soft I can't hear anything.

[Phersu]

And final stanza:

Voilà, voilà, voilà, voilà,

If I could choose between me and anything else,

It's awful to say, but I'd take something else

I think about it and I start getting used to it,

When I have time, I'll eventually like myself.

[aerisisso]

Merci beaucoup (ça m'évite d'avoir à tout traduire ♥)

[AllenbysEyes]

Thank you very much. I'll have to see if I can track the song down. :-D

[Jepop8989]

It is a wonderful song

[RavynneRune]

The music was a little odd but overall I'm glad you did this, there are so few Lawrence mv's, maybe you should do more. :-)

[Ih8bureaucracy]

Hot. Erm... in both senses of the word.
