@ selenebot, Hi, sorry : I have tried to answer you but your YT count is blocked. Actually what do you want exactly ? Her french lyrics ? which ones ? I think you can find them by yourself with google (just like I would) ... Now if you want my own translation for "La forme et le fond" (Form and content) please give me your personal e-mail, i will send it to you. Enjoy your day. Friendly, Dominique (i am not going to give you my personal e-mail here : give me yours !) :-)

(here is the rest of it, max is 500 characters)

I have lost my fairy skin and freckles

My ideals disillusioned,

I saw them leave my hand

I see more lost angels all to often fallen

I seed the wind, the south sea winds

and I keep up appearances

But when I call out no one hears

No one sees what I think

[Monique7993]

Anyone knows where the first painting is from? Who is the author of the work?

[smlock]

I was curious if anyone knew who that is in the photo where she's standing against the building smoking a cigarette, and in the last picture of the woman in the car.

[RedGloves]

@smlock her name is Daria Werbowy

[smlock]

what's the model's name in this video?  Anyone know??

[smlock]

what's the model's name in this video? Anyone know??

[RedGloves]

@smlock which one, which picture?

[smlock]

@RedGloves The one where she is leaning against the building smoking a cigarette, and the last one in the car. Is that the same person? Nice photos!

[PERIZ99]

Beautiful video...And music..!

[Alva559]

What is she saying in the song?

[mp0mme]

Wow, it's difficult to translate because it's a really poetic song. But i try with google translator I dragged my wings Eyes closed Leaving my feathers For the souls disavowed I break hearts and questions Gently The form and substance I sow the wind, the south winds And I save the appearances But when I cry, no one hears Nobody sees what I think

[mp0mme]

It should not be a good English, sorry [...] I have lost My skin fairy My freckles My ruefully I saw pass Main I see more Lost Angels All too often falled All too often fallen I sow the wind, the south winds And I save the appearances But when I cry, no one hears Nobody sees what I think

[lotus7591]

@mp0mme not bad :-)

[ricachic]

The Form and Substance (the material things)

I drag my wings, my eyes closed, leaving my feathers

The souls disclaimed, (the souls unacknowledged)

I break hearts, (relationships)

and softly question the form and substance

I seed the wind, the south sea winds (with Gods word)

and I keep up appearances

But when I call out no one hears

No one sees what I think

[chantelle17israel]

[MoistKumquat]

[gerdienepien]

zita swoon is a man, ans he's good, realy good. you can search for him on youtube, 'De quoi a besoin l'amour' is a nice song from him.

[redid52]

Keren Ann a soutenu les jeunes envoyés au combat avec son chant, ne lui mettez pas vos idées en bouche..Ma copine est morte l'année où ce disque est sorti.

I LOVE THIS SONG

[margot2001]

If I can help... this is my translation

Form & content

I drag my wings

With my eyes shut

Leaving my feathers

To disown souls

I break hearts

And questions

Very softly

Under form and content

[margot2001]

@margot2001 Hey guys, i’m back : as you like it, here’s the rest of the song : enjoy :-)

If you want the French lyrics, just ask me…

I sow wind, Autans (southerly stormy winds that come from the open sea), and I keep up appearances ; but when I’m shouting nobody hears, nobody sees what I’m thinking of ; I’ve lost for good my fairy skin, my freckles, my disillusioned (slightly cynical) expression ; I saw passing by, but it’s no more true, lost angels, too much often fallen angels

I sow wind…

[selenebot]

@margot2001 I would like any french lyrics to Keren Ann's songs please?!

[margot2001]

I sow the wind, the "autans"

(a stormy southerly sea breeze)

And I keep up appearances

But when I shout, nobody hears me,

no one can see what I'm thinking of

[margot2001]

I lost my fairy skin

My freckles

My disillusioned expression (air)

I saw lost angels passing by

But I don't any more/longer

They were too much often fallen ones

no one can see what I'm thinking of

I sow the wind...

Friendly yours from France

[onetrashdancer]

can't stand these french mother fuckers, they have all the prettie woman

[TheQuixoticHalf]

Artiste: Keren Ann

Chanson: La Forme Et Le Fond

Je traîne mes alles

Les yeux fermes

Laissant mes plumes

Aux âmes désavouées

Je brise les coeurs

Et les questions

Tout en douceur

Sous la forme et le fond

[TheQuixoticHalf]

Je sème le vent, les autans

Et je sauve les apparences

Mais quand je crie, nul n'entend

Nul ne voit à quoi je pense

[TheQuixoticHalf]

J'ai bien perdu

Ma peau de fée

Mes taches de rousseur

Mon air désabusé

J'ai vu passer

Main je n'en vois plus

Des anges paumés

Bien trop souvent déchus

[TheQuixoticHalf]

Je sème le vent, les autans

Et je sauve les apparences

Mais quand je crie, nul n'entend

Nul ne voit à quoi je pense

[TheQuixoticHalf]

Je sème le vent, les autans

Et je sauve les apparences

Mais quand je crie, nul n'entend

Nul ne voit à quoi je pense

[nurisas]

I love this song even though i can't UNDERSTAND IT

[AarynThi]

Ses chansons sont magnifique!

[inanal]

elle est israelienne!! elle a soutenu nos soldats pendant la guerre..merci on a besoin de toi!c'est pas facile de se defendre contre des terroriste..je sais ce que c'est !!merci keren!

[redid52]

c'est si jolie c'est douceur keren

[bnidhsain]

This girl is really a poor girl. She refused to sing (600 persons) last friday in Epinay (France), because the change of scene was 2 minutes late !!! She broke some glass in front of very nice people. She sings like a pan and needs some changes in her behaviour !!! Poor little girl...

[gustave87]

C'est ausi elle qui s'amuse a faire la tournée des camps israeliens pendant la guerre du liban pour soutenir les soldats israeliens qui jouissent en balancant des bombes sur des enfants libanais... Dégueulasse!

[yoram3120]

Degeulasse toi meme, revois l'histoire au lieu de dire des inepties!

[AlecNRoll16]

Yes ! Learn the French because us, the French we learn English ^^ ( I love English, don't worry ! lol)

Et Keren, toutes tes chansons sont magnifiques ^^Surtout "End of the map"

[scheisekindmensch]

i hate myself for not learning french at school

[RedGloves]

I feel that same way too :(

but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the music :)

[selmalovestodance]

i'm very bad in french, mais j'adore this song, hihi.

[rynam1217]

Sweet, neat and intimate with the crescendo on the feelings of "le fond"?

[jclarke51]

On connait Keren Ann depuis assez longtemps. En anglais ou en francais il y une deconstruction fine du pop.

[scurvyfuckingpete]

Quoi...? Vous la connaissez, ou nous, quoi, tout la connaître? Cela n'a pas fait le beaucoup de sens. O.o

Ou peut-être c'est votre usage de 'on' que me confond.

[jclarke51]

Faudrait soigner un peu votre francais avant d'entamer une polemique.

[wuasaby]

thanks, i love this song. I love the second picture.

xx

[Galeande]

Wonderful song.
