@Spraaw Even saying 'et je l'avoue' doesn't really make much sense - they should say something like - et en plus c'est vrai. That could make more sense
i love girls aloud. and i can speak french and they are not that bad cosidering they don't speak french. the best of them all is from what i hear cheryl.
@DemonSheep22 well i didnt think it was right, but when you buy the singles box set, it is on one of the CD's and on the back is says 'je ne parle pas francais' so, i just put what it said on there? x
Si les autres de leurs chansons étaient en Francais aussi. Je suis anglais, mais j'études la francais depuis longtemps. Il aide avec mon Français beaucoup! Merci pour les sous-titres, comme j'ai dit, ils ont m'aidé avec mon Français :)
at 1:02 she starts the 2nd "echo refrain" with Nadine and Sarah and then they all harmonize into the next bit and her voice in predominate in the chorus in both versions. well at least to me i also hear a lot of Nadine to but Nicola is in there... :) just listen to the original she has the same parts.. singing in a different language can make the tone sound different... sometime better..
this makes me realize i don't know shit about french.. haha i actually think they sound great, and the people who speak french down here say they talk/sing funny
It's so cute !! elles se débrouillent quand même pas mal en français, par contre je sais pas si elles savent vraiment parler français ! But it's a very good sound !!
this is sooo fucking funny, not that I'm the best french speaker myself o.O [nooo way] but they all sound hilarious especially nadine :DD she's still got the same accent as in english and it kinda doesn't go any well with french :P I think chezza's the best speaker honestly, but they all did a good job, just can't stop laughing though :DDDDD LMFAO, but they're gr8 for even trying :P <333 ga, get better soon cheryl!!! XXXX
It sounds FAIRLY authentic... if you speak some French, you can tell they're not native, but overall it's an extremely good job. I mean, they're not meant to be linguists, are they?!
hahaa, i cant believe you actually made it ! lol make our french teacher go on it in class and just listen to music all day call it educational ... gonna learn it now ... good vid, greaaat singerrs :)
Even tho, I'm French, without the lyrics, we don't understand the lyrics, god they should have got some lessons of pronunciation B4, like Enrique Iglesias did !!!
Now I just wanna say 'je parle en francais' euh ... NON je n'crois pas, non !!!
they are good in both french and english.. although better in english- if you dont like them in english then why th heck arre you even listening to them at all ?!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
just wanted to see how crap they were in french compared to how they are in english :P
they make good bubblegum music but there is no real message like with other more successful bands like the sugababes :P p.s i also think cheryl is a media whoring chav :P sorry :D
The lyrics are not translated from Can't Speak French. Actually, they are very different. For example, in the single the do not say: I love the little french accent!
And in this song the say: I CAN speak french but i'll the funky music do the talking anyway, understand? Something like that...
(Speaking to etreduardo!) They do say 'I can't speak French', but because the direct translation into French is rather long (Je ne parle pas francais), they leave out the 'ne', which is almost optional in French. So, they say it properly, but they abbreviate it, rather like 'I don't speak...' is short for 'I do not speak...'
I think it's good, english is better, but Cheryl's right, in an interview with Paul OGrady, she said: I don't know how that sounds to a french person, but it doesnt sound french!
My cousin is french and he listened to it and later on text me asking me to send him the lyrics because he didnt understand the words pmsl
lol its funny because they're saying they cant speak french!
