[MichaelJackson7852]

if you want to hear this song and eat some soup go to the church on the hill in Corona and we will sing for you for a good cause or you can also go to Foothill elementary school and we will sing there too!

[spyellis09]

[kalyduinen1]

tell me why life is beautiful

tell me why life is gay

tell me why, dear mademoiselle

is it because you love me?

i learned this song in my french class

[inufan45]

@kalyduinen1 Awesome I just learned this today in my french class!^_^ Thats why I looked for it.

[Sarcasmize]

my school did this two years ago as the musical (we do a play every other year and a cabaret in between) and it was spectacular! that cast was amazing!

[asianpriss]

yay! lol i got the part of the daughter at my school. I'm so excited! Especially because the guy who got Emile is amazazing!

[mld566]

Me and the rest of our grade's chorus are singing this song in French and English. So it's cool- I know what there are singing in English! (our chorus is singing more though) O, and good job to the 2 girls singing! :)

[bill3209]

It's not for their deceased mother, because they say medemoiselle. That means "miss" or an unmarried young woman.

Literal translation of the French is:

Tell me why life is beautiful.

Tell me why life is gay (happy)

Tell me why, dear mademoiselle!

Could it be because you love me?

[americangal5]

Tell Me Why, the sky

is filled with music

tell me why, we fly

on clouds above

can it be, that we

can fly to music.

Just because, just because

we're in love?

(Repeat)

[notsuchablondie]

they did this play at my local high skool and we watched the movie in chorus any1 noes wat the words meen????

[jealygne]

Yes. I do. It means tell me why. I only know because this is my solo. I am singing it aat my school. So yeah.

[notsuchablondie]

o so all they say is tell me y the whole time

thanks me and my friend didnt no wat it meant

who r u playin ?????

[jealygne]

Oh. Haha! But not the entire song is tell me why. The lyrics in English are, "Tell me why. The sky, is filled with music. Tell me why. We fly. On clouds above.Can it be that we can fly to music. Just because. Just because we're in love." And I'm in choir and i'm singing it with three other kids. I don't think we are playing characters.xD

[notsuchablondie]

oooo ok thnks thats kool im in my chorus too

:)

[jealygne]

Your welcome! (:

[padfootsprincess02]

the literal translation: tell me why life is beautiful.. tell me why life is happy..tell me why my lady.. it is because we are in love.

[peachazproductions]

non, the last line: "is it because you love me?" a song for their deceased mother, "est-ce-que parce-que vous m'amier?"

[padfootsprincess02]

youre right my bad .. :/

[singitlala]

conjugated it would be "m'aimez".

[Juliaa1996]

thats the incorrect translation that is the second versus Dites moi pourqoui la vie est belle is Tell me why life is beautiful as my voice teacher would say Those people are so stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid :)

[jhjhis2cool]

It means tell me why

life is beautiful

tell me why

life is gay (happy)

Tell me why

Dear Madmoiselle (woman)

is it that

because you love me

[notsuchablondie]

some1 told me the words were

tell me y the sky is filled w/music

tell me y we fly on clouds above

can it b that we can fly 2 music

just b/c b/c were in love

rnt thoes the lyrics????

[jhjhis2cool]

That's the english version

but translated into french, it's the lyrics i posted

[jhjhis2cool]

i meant french translated to english, whoops lol

[singitlala]

For poetic reasons.

[Juliaa1996]

[firework2250]

my little brother is playing Jerome. :]

and my older sister is playing Nellie.

Its a high school production, and i am only in middle school until next year so I could not be in it. The reason my brother gets to be in it, is because they need a little boy. :]

it'll be so cute to my hear my little brother sing in french

[jz0310]

my high school had opening night for this today and we had a orchestra pit of like students and everything. you guys did good. i was just part of the pit though.

[tinygirlXbigworld]

I was in that! I got the part of Ngana! It was a while ago. Like, 6 plays ago, and I'm only 11! haha...

[BagaProductions]

I wish the part of Henri wasn't cut off. I am playing Henrietta in our community theater version, and wanted to hear how Henri was pronouncing the French words.

[MuSiCaLGiRL692]
