  • Totalement à chier .

  • Nice Clip

  • I guess it's about travelling and being afraid, peer pressure, this kind of things... Now that I listen to this a second time, I think that's it. The 'fishes' symbolize the judgmental 'others' I guess. Drowning must be suicide, and it seems to me that they say that you can't come back and you mustn't be afraid of crossing the 'line' to being who you are - but who am I to say that ?

    Anyways, hope it helped.

  • I know these lyrics are very strange (plus I'm not really a translation master). But even in French it's very difficult to understand, so. There's a lot of puns and idiomatic expressions, things that are very difficult to translate.

    Most of the time, though, the lyrics don't really make sense from one line to another. I guess you just have to understand what you want to understand. There's a bit at the end that's about lesbianism, but other than that...

    In the last line I wrote there's a pun of words that's hard to translate. It's the French phrase "la mer à boire" which means "it's not that hard". They use it literally => "drinking the sea"

    Chorus.

    (They all but... x2)

    Death is crossed, jolly roger, happy mariage

    (The flag) flapping in the wind makes the crew uncomfortable

    We're leaving, in other terms, we're packing (two phrases to say that they're living, one if whih refering to the sails)

  • Merci pour votre bonne musique les Bousculaire !! Le Sud espère, le Sud attend !!! Bisou$ :)

  • ouaii elles sont trop fortes :) !!

  • Venez Los Angeles!!!!!!!!!! Je suis trop pauvre de voyage a Paris maintenant!!!

  • I like this a lot. Reminds me a bit of PJ Harvey :)

    I don't speak French though. Can I find a translation to these lyrics on the internet?

    Btw, you guys are damn hot ;D

  • @henrike87 We did need a lot of courage

    To discover new shores, whatever it takes

    Leave - they were long ones, these trips/travels

    Heart overwhelmed with unbelievable landscapes

    They all but ate my heart, those little fishies

    Me, I'll play dead, swollen like a balloon (x2)

    The ocean is sometimes wild between two streams/waters

    Wouldn't be hard for it to make you want to drown

    And there's too much water, so no way (for us) to come back swimming

    It's hard to drink the sea given how it tastes

  • @henrike87

    You can deal alone with your courage crap

    We dream of sun at the end of path

    Bare-breasted, coloured women, like a beautiful coloring

    We drown in their deep and wild waters

    This depth the crew men just don't have

  • @Claviernumerique Wow, thank you so much!!!! Now I love it even more :)

  • @henrike87 You're very welcome, I'm glad it's increased your liking for the song =)
