MIKA - NRJ (France) - 1st July 2011

[12maggie2]

What were they saying about birthdays (if they were even talking about birthdays, lol)? My french is a bit rusty.

[jonny616]

Please help me!

J'etait en France en Oct-Nov-Dec et il y avait une chanson sur NRJ tous les jours, généralement entre 11h et 13h. La chanteuse est une *femme* avec une voix puissante et les paroles que je peux faire sortir sont "Danse-Danse Danse-danse, Danse Danse Danse Danse! .. whooah o-o-oh-ooaooh!". S'il vous plaît me donner des idées ce que cela pourrait être! Il n'est pas Mika, mais tout le monde dit ça!

Je dirais que c'était plus 'classieux' que d'une chanson pop ou la techno normale

[ferdelarosadeg]

Danse, danse, danse, elle me dit danse. 

[ferdelarosadeg]

Is it live...? D:

[NeonGlassesGirly]

J'adore Mika!!

[rarn2011]

j'adore nrj! j'écoute au travail au camping dans Berny-Riviere! :D

[zeliose]

Je rajoute juste que les anglais on l'air beaucoup plus Pomé que nous quand on comprend pas .... You can use a translation if your dont understand --'

[zeliose]

On a l'impression de se sentir plus puissant , une chanson international en français !!!! Maintenant on est pas obliger de marquer : parole + traduction [...] . on inverse les rôle :D' . Franchement c'est la seule de Mika que j'aime et je l'adore carément ! J'espère que les autre en français seront autant bien .

[MrOnliine]

Les anglais chercher les paroles et faites une google traduction :MDR'

[MrOnliine]

Pas mal ;)

[RhythmAddictedState]

Wow! He speaks French so well! He made little mistakes, but still..! He's AMAZING!

[137isis]

OMG. I didn't know Mika spoke French so well. I'm Spanish, but I understand it all. People who don't, feel the music 'cause it's amazing!

[LaChouette0235]

J'aime bein cette chanson, ca m'agace que les anglophones ont la flemme pour parler seulement en Anglais. Luckily, some of us english people can actually be bothered, andere sprache zu lernen :D

[glamgurl29]

Is Mika going to do an entire French-language album, or is this tune just special?

[lovemuffin922]

Omigoddddd! This is better than most English songs that I've ever heard on the radio! I love dis!

[AmeliaVitale]

No freaking idea what hes saying... but i still love him. :D

[heykim12]

lol

[wapoidewapowapoide]

Oh my God..had an orgasm! I cant fucking wait..!!!! :D aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaa...Im gonna learn french just for Mika!!! :D

[Daily95Insanity]

If you don't speak French Skip to 3:38 to hear the new song ;)

[luludelalune]

c'est drôle qu'il écrive en français,car nous on comprends et pas les anglophones :D

[mylifeasofnow]

This is AWESOME. =) MIKA!

[TwilaMomijiFan]

mika, I love you. come to chicago. <3

[18cbarrett]

Listen up Mika: This had better be available in your next album in the US too. Better throw in your French version of Grace Kelly just to be safe. If this magnificent song is only available in Europe I shall be very very upset. And no, I'm not threatening you. :)

[CatieEmme]

@18cbarrett Yeah, he's releasing it on his album 'The Origin of Love' which is supposed to be released in the US in 2012; when it's completed.

[gq670]

I don't like so much all that noisy sound effects. =(

[maayatakeda]

Beautiful language French, but what he is singing about????

[KillingLightx3]

@maayatakeda what i get from it is a mother scolding her child (MIKA) for wasting time, not growing up, etc. It doesn't say mother anywhere...but that's what I kinda drew from it

[wapoidewapowapoide]

@maayatakeda Well id ont speak french but i translated the lyrics and i guess he's talking about his mom and how she trated him in his childhood! ;D

[vail56000]

Haaaaa pour une fois les francais peuvent comprendre les superbe musiques de Mika j'm tous ces albums mais quand il chante en francais c'est mieux que tout

[AddictedToMusic96]

I can barely understand something but I just can not get enough of listening to his voice, both in french and english

[StainlessSteelStyle]

I don't understand!!! D:

[rainiemushroom]

Excited about the music video.... : ) as we know him it would be funny, colourful and absolutely Magnifiqué ; ) <3 <3

[rainiemushroom]

I LOVE IT ! it´s a perfect summer song, can´t wait to hear the whole album, hope to hear more french or other languages on it !!

Every language is wonderful <3<3 trying to learn as many as possible : )

[Gibdo88]

My respect for Mika has gone up ten-fold. I didn't know he could speak fluent French and Spanish. I think it's quite brave for an 'English' artist to include a foreign language track in his album.

[ibwm26]

I have a lyric video for this song right here! :D

/watch?v=-QBViBsHDOM

[TheEleaphant]

I don't agree so far!

[KTcattProductions]

YES!!!

[galindaislife]

Perfect chance for me to brush up on my French :)

[musicmenbymy]

Love it! Et je suis espagnol, mais je l'aime!

[Tammykaate]

he sounds even sexier ;)

[Ellimac1202]

Il est génial !!! Vivement le troisième album :)♥

[18cbarrett]

HELL YES

[adriazaz]

I heard this song live last night (2nd of july) in Romania at B'est fest! Very very nice! I didn't know that he speaks that well french! Bravo!

[Kibriana]

Budući da smo svi tak zapeli za vlastite jezike, ja ću malo na hrvatski. Koji pjesmuljak.

[TeodoraFanOfLife]

@Kibriana

A prevod pesme? :D

[e122679]

Singing in French is so good. C'est très bien!!

[dobbythe1st]

was this the earliest one? :)

[vivelafetee1]

@javim013 ICI Y A LES PAROLES, /eP03PJ5muVQ

Maintenant vous pouvez chanter avec lui ! :)

[kjersto]

Mika singing in French makes me just melt, although I have no idea what he's singing. I love Mika!

[CuteOrDangerous]

Even if I couldn'tunderstand it, I totally get the music! Wonderfull! And the way he speaks french, I fell in love with every single word! XD Now,when I have read the translation, I find it even more brilliant! So glad that new songs are coming out! Go Mika,go!!! <3

[qiuta123]

Mika est si mignon quand il parle français :D 

[18cbarrett]

@qiuta123 Bien sûr!



[javim013]

Où sont les paroles pour cette chanson? J'aimerais la chanter. :D!!

[brownobillybrown]

i dont even get a word but just listen and enjoy!

MIKA MUSIC <3

[90bluestars]

Im taking french 2 next year. Have no idea whats hes saying :(

[Yoontist]

Mika :-D

[bbpoufoul]

Who else is addicted to this??? =)!!!!

[Friedallie]

it's times like these i'm glad i decided to take french instead of spanish.

[LidaNight9]

Martin Solveig convinced Mika to do this single now. Then he talked about his concert in COmpiegne ...

Hope you'll enjoy this little translation ^^

MIKA <3 <3

[LidaNight9]

And in the interview he tells that his next album " The Originof Love" deals with love, but it's still the same style of music. The album is in english but there are some songs in french ("Like a bonus"). Since some years he wanted to do french songs, to translate his english songs to french, but he never did because he wanted to sing french songs he wrote in french since the begining. It's the first time he sings in french so he's a little afraid. He has finished the song 2 days ago.

[LidaNight9]

@lombrent

She says to me : "Look at your friends, what will they do of their lives, There's something to die for"

She says to me : "Yes, one day, you'll kill me, And it's when she says me that, That She says something I like"

She says to me : "Dance"

Why are you wasting your time ?

THE END xD Hope the lyrics are right ^^ ( I didn't make a video because I don't know how to do this =/ ) So I'll try later !

[LidaNight9]

@lombrent

She says to me : "Why are you always complaining yourself, Looks like you're 8 YO, It's not like that you'll attract"

She says to me :"One day I'll be not here anymore" But it's when she says that, that she says something I like

She says to me :" It's your life..."

She says to me : "You haven't got white hair yet, But you'll be 30 soon, You should wake up "

She says to me :"You're still a kid, You'll never grow up, And I am already old!"

[Gnesau]

It's live!! :D listen also to the other recorded versions of today and you'll hear! :D (or am I just the only one who just found out..)

[00595emorej]

Elle me dit :

« Regarde un peu tes amis

Qu'est-ce qu'ils vont faire de leur vie ?

Y'a de quoi se foutre en l'air ! »

Elle me dit :

« Oui, un jour, tu me tueras ! »

Et c'est quand elle me dit ça

Qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime

[00595emorej]

Elle me dit : « Pourquoi tu te plains tout le temps ? On dirait que t'as huit ans C'est pas comme ça qu'tu vas plaire ! » Elle me dit : « Un jour je ne serai plus là ! » Mais c'est quand elle me dit ça Qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime ! Elle me dit : « T'as pas encore des cheveux blancs Mais t'auras bientôt trente ans Faudrait que tu te réveilles ! » Elle me dit : « Tu es toujours un enfant Tu ne seras jamais grand Et moi je suis déjà vieille ! »

[00595emorej]

Elle me dit : « C'est ta vie Fais c'que tu veux tant pis Un jour tu comprendras Un jour tu t'en voudras ! » Elle me dit : « T'es trop nul Sors un peu de ta bulle Tu fais n'importe quoi On dirait que t'aimes ça ! » Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ? Elle me dit : « danse ! » Elle me dit : « Fais comme les autres garçons Va taper dans un ballon Tu deviendras populaire ! » Elle me dit : « Qu'est-ce tu fous sur internet ? Ca va pas bien dans ta tête Regarde le temps que tu perds ! »

[00595emorej]

Elle me dit : « Ecris une chanson contente Pas une chanson déprimante Une chanson que tout le monde aime ! » Elle me dit : « Tu deviendras milliardaire T'auras de quoi être fier Ne finis pas comme ton père ! » Elle me dit : « Ne t'enferme pas dans ta chambre Vas-y, secoue-toi et danse Dis-moi, c'est quoi ton problème ? » Elle me dit : « Qu'est-ce que t'as ? T'as l'air coincé T'es défoncé ou t'es gay ? Tu finiras comme ton frère »

[lombrent]

I wonder if there is such a fantastic ,brilliant ,superb french speaking person who could do subtitles for this???!!I would probably would kiss you to death!

[LidaNight9]

@lombrent

Here are the lyrics in english (I'm french, so it's easy):

She says to me : "Write a happy song, Not a depressive song, A song that everybody loves"

She says to me : " You'll become a billionaire, You'll have something to be proud of, Don't end like your father did"

She says to me : "Don't lock yourself in your room, Shake yourself and dance, Tell me what is your problem ?"

She says to me : " What do you have ? You look shy, You're drunk or gay ? You'll end like your brother"

[lombrent]

@LidaNight9 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Muach :***

(it would just superb to know what Mika says in the interview,too... ;) )

but anyways, - Thank You!

[LidaNight9]

@lombrent

When I have the time to do this, I'll try to do an entire video with all the subtiles :)

[lombrent]

@LidaNight9 Yeah!!!wooho! love you! you are a great great person!

[LidaNight9]

@lombrent

I know that, I know... xD No seriously, I'm not great, I'm just french, so it's easy to translate =)

[LidaNight9]

@lombrent

She says to me : "It's your life, Do what you want I don't care,One day you'll understand,One day you'll feel guilty"

She says to me : "You're too much useless,Go out a bit of your cocoon,You do anything,It's like you like it"

Why are you wasting your life? She says to me :" Dance !"

She says to me : "Do like other boys, Go knock in a ball, You'll become popular"

She says to me : "What are you doing on internet? It's going wrong in your head, Look at the time you are wasting"

[foretellbird]

it's brilliant! i can't understand a word, but it sounds amazing!!!

[isaac961202]

Don't Understand It Yet, but I Love It!!

[Gashiflor]

che canzonee!! stupenda! *-* in francese poi!! già mi ha rubato il cuore questa canzone!

[Charlotte2010ish]

translation, please? *blush*

[dipsaucerose]

i didn't even know he had a single coming out ):

i'm disconnected with the mika world D:

but, its not bad :)

new music takes me a few listens

[creamysodarevenge]

Wow I really should have paid more attention to French at school. But listening to Mika sing in French is so much sexier than in English :P

[HenryHates]

rough translation of parts :) \/ below

[HenryHates]

A song that everyone loves She told me, you will become millionaire You'll have to be proud Do not finish like your father She told me she told me is your life Do what you want so be it One day you will understand One day you wish thee She said no you're too You do anything

[kygu7gg787g]

3:36

[HenryHates]

I love

it

[HenryHates]

so glad I have taken french for gcse :D 

[wendymoira15]

I don't speak french but I love the sound... I love that he's putting french songs on his album!! I love Mika soooooooo much I've been waiting for this album for soooooooo long

[manuelcastillogzz]

magnifique Mika!

[CobraCookies]

Stop asking for an English version, I can only speak English but it's easy to get passed the language barrier. Just groove! :)

[rvleevee]

Fabulous. French is Mika's first language; I'm delighted to hear him sing in French. ~x~

[lauraliez]

Mika en français ? Comment ne pas tomber sous le charme ?

Merci Mika <3

[Maffong]

Il parle vachement bien le francais!!!

[corwinfreak19]

dsjfhal;fhas the album needs to come sooner!!!

[0806salo]

great :X:X:X

[MFD30]

I want an English version of this song lol

[Meurianeu]

You're funny, English people. Nobody ever bothered Mika to do a spanish, an italian or a german version of a song. Do as everyone else in the world who doesn't speak the language of the lyrics they hear and enjoy the music. :)

[sususs333]

@Meurianeu Yeaah, but Mika started his career in England and english is much more 'universal' language than french. I'd also like to say, that it's not just about enjoying the music, but also about fantastic lyrisc that Mika writes.

[jluis2012]

@sususs333 There's something called 'Google Translator'. Most of us use it frequently.

The song is mostly UNEXPECTED. I'd like to hear the whole album :)

[sususs333]

@jluis2012 Oh, c'mon, don't tell me that you translate songs in google translator, it doesn't make sense. Have you ever heard any song remade in the other language? It's not the same, huh?

[jluis2012]

@sususs333 Even so, it helps, it's been enhanced a lot during the last few years. But even in the native language many songs doesn't really make sense, you make your own. Luckyly I speak spanish and it's the same idea for all romance languages, such french, and the only thing you have to do is to understand the idea, then translate it as you want to the language you want.

Or tell me another way to understand 'a bit' a japanese song lyrics without spending 5 years of your life studying it....

[xcheekymonkey1234x]

@Meurianeu I'm English, but I COMPLETELY agree with you!! That is what I have been telling my friends for years, but they never listen D': You French people have the best music tho, most of the English stuff is crap :)

[Marizzle98]

@xcheekymonkey1234x Im french, but speak fluent english and french so I dont know how it feels to not understand the lyrics but i think they should just enjoy the music!! :D

[Zoxy17]

@Marizzle98 It feels normal...I don't have a clue, but I enjoy the song, 'cause it's AWSOMEEEE!!!! :)))))))))

I love Mikaaa!!!

[Marizzle98]

@Zoxy17 samme!! :P MIKA FTW

[KristyClear]

@Meurianeu

I'm German and I would love to have an English version just to be able to sing along. i think not only English people want to hear it in English many other people speak English too

[BekiHeffron]

@Meurianeu Probably because lots of people don't speak those languages. People from lots of other countries speak English... it's kind of a worldwide language. Most people know it, whereas not a looaaad of people know French. Probably because it's fucking hard to learn :/

[AHHHHREEBAAAA]

i hope theres an english version! that'd be the bee's fucking knee's!!!!

[yelenamusic]

Yeahyeahyeah, I had good exams, i go to his concert and i will see him, so exciting! :D !

[MsKateish]

I like the song, but I hope it will be an English version too :)

[blueskymika]

Catchy fun song - it's funny to hear him singing live over himself.

[TheVictoriaHarrison]

I hope there is an English version. It's making my brain hurt trying to recall GCSE French to translate it! Fabulous to hear something new from the amazing Mika though. <3 <3 <3

[ladymikagaga]

un nouveau single AMAZING !!! Du Mika tout craché, I ♥ iT !!!

[Jhonking]

A partir del 3:39 boys and girls! I love French!!

[Jhonking]

I love Mika!! His last singles were amazing I didnt doubt about this one being excellent-!

[Saralituh]

Love it!! It's so amazing!! You could do an English version to :D <3

[PrincessAgnetha]

@Saralituh he should i think - french is fine but id prefer english

[aussievalentines]

@Saralituh I totally agree. I would like to know what he is saying.... I LOVE THIS MAN :)<3

[llamasspit104]

I love everything about this. I love him, I love this song, I love him, and I love him!

<3

[3voice]

he sounds like philippe katerine

[thaeasy]

3:36 for the song - for those who don't get a thing about french like me.

[MorgaineNimue]

Amazing song!

[zamalek4ever100]

Can't Wait For His New Album ..... it'll be Extraordinary .... I LOVE U MIKA <3
