Bono, NRJ Music Awards 2004 France

[crazychicks225]

Well, at least he's trying xD "C'est dur...c'est vraiment dur." (It's hard, its really hard) and when he says "incroyable" (incredible) is just priceless .D

[idioot15]

i just wanted to ask french people..is he speaking well?or does he have a strong accent...i guess the last one:D

[azalee133]

No, he speaks french, with a big accent, but at this ceremony, he was a little !!! you know what (drunk), and it was in 2004, now, i heard him on French radio, and i understand what he saids in french !!!

[yuosid]

Hum his French is quite bad. but for an Irish ( or any people coming from an english-speaking courntry) it's one of the best I've ever heard.

Alles relativ' mein Lieber Einstein.

[idioot15]

its good to see that he's trying:D

[azalee133]

It was hard for him !!!

[Bruni93]

could somebody translate the french text into english please?

[azalee133]

Well, an another member (Forza u2)do it for me !!! he was more "rapid" than me !!! look at the beginning

I just want to say that, as everybody knows, have a house in south of France, at Eze, near Cannes, that's why he saids that, in the morning he can go and swim in mediterranée, but, at night, it's difficult because there's a lot of nice girls, french wine ... but he saids that he surveys to that !!! At this ceremony, we all think that he abused of French Wine !!! Look at my first comment

@Bruni93

I answer you two years later but I hope that's not too late :)

" I am not a French child but I am gonna own up something to you : I feel like home. Whe I have freetime I come here [I don't understand this sentence] On the morning, I leave my house to go swimming in the Deep Blue [ A famous french movie] This is very simple but on the evening, the danger comes : nightclub, pretty girls Noami Campbell, wines ... It's hard really hard but you can see that I survived ....

@Bruni93

[lulli215]

@Bruni93

You're welcome :) I love English and I am glad to translate Bono !

[U2NewSongs]

Pissed. A. Little. Bit. lol.

[azalee133]

Oops, excuse me, but, what did you meaned by "pissed" ? i don't understand all funny or not funny words (even if have an idea, i don't know if it's a joke !!!)

My english is only a school english !!!

[U2NewSongs]

It is a common slang term for VERY VERY VERY drunk!!

[azalee133]

ok, thank you very much !!!

Now, i know a new slang term !!!

[U2NewSongs]

That's cool. ;) Britain is a land of drunks!! We have more words for 'drunk' than almost any other country! Try these too: hammered, sloshed, 'drunk as a skunk', bladdered, clobbered, slaughtered, decimated, stonking, hammered, inebriated, legless, mashed, out of it, pickled, plastered, ruined, smashed, stonking, wasted, badgered, battered, 'drunk as a lord', intoxicated, 'off me pickle', minced, zombied.

That's as many as I can think of! Some are rude, almost violent, but meant in a fun way. :)

[azalee133]

Well, i'll take as soonas possible my "translator" to explain you what he said but the thing I remenber, is, on this ceremony, he drunk just a little too much of french wine !!! Bono appears at the end of the cerermony, THE Guest Star, and, all fans like me were waiting for him and, i thing, he waits also too much time !!!

That was funny !!!

[u2MacPhisto09]

I'm learnign french right now, but I think I need more practice cause I have no idea what Bono is saying! Dang! lol

[ForzaU2]

he said thank you, i'm not french, but i will tell you a confidence, on the beach i feel home. When i'm free i come here to have some much better. The Morning i go out of my house to go swimming in "le grand bleu" (the sea), it's good but the evening,  the danger arrives: clubs, nice girls, Naomi Campbell, great wines... It's hard, it's really hard... But can you see ? [...]

[ForzaU2]

[...] I survived. Thank your for the incredible life that you have give to us, to me, Bono, Adam, larry and that night, particulary, the edge, the edge, the edge ...
