i know debbie harry speaks a bit of french in the english version of this song but i did not know she was that fluent. by the way, my dad had a 7" lp single of this song many years ago. i wonder if he has kept it and still has it now?
i am 20 and even though it is typical for me to listen to all that rock music i absolutly LOVE Blondie, must admit my parents were shocked when they walked in on me singing heart of glass and sunday girl :)
I'm sorry, but even if she doesn't speak and pronounce french that well, she still speaks waaay better than French people can speak English in general....
The reason bands have to sing in French is because the French only allow 6% of radio music to have non-french lyrics, and French music is 'merde', so recording a song in French guarantees a fairly big band a hit. The reason they sing badly is that NO-ONE OUTSIDE OF FRANCE GIVES A FUCK ABOUT THE FRENCH LANGUAGE, including Belgians, French-Canadians, etc. So shut up, froggies.
I can understand most of what she sings. Even though it's not a perfect French, it's nice she tried to sing in French. She's so lovely and has such a nice voice. (I'm French !)
@asiafire64 No it's not! It's in French. Period. Btw, French Canadians speak French as well. They just have a different accent & different expressions. She uses none of these expressions & her accent is English.
Also, French is my first language, I understand a lot of what she's saying, although not everything, but I don't care. I find it very charming.
So when the English speak French, they speak with a distinct English accent so people know theyre English even though they're speaking French?! wow I've never thought of that before
Ok so I English is my 1st tongue, but I do speak French, as well. If it weren't for the English version I'd have no idea what the French version is saying either. Yet, I still like the song. I guess that is why they say music is universal.
I feel that some of us might be missing the point. She's not giving a speech at the U.N. It's irrelevant whether you can understand the words. The point is that when a normally english speaking person sings in french, it's all about the sexy quality that the french language has. I listen to this version, not the english version, even though I don't speak french, because it sounds better; sexier! compondre
Well I'm french and then I understand... O_o Je connais une fille dans une rue déserte Froide comme glace mais aussi savoureuse Sèche tes pleurs Sunday Girl Hey, J'ai vu ton mec avec une autre fille Il semblait dans un autre monde Cours t'cacher Sunday Girl Dépêches-toi, dépêches-toi et attends Toute la semaine absent et pourtant j'attends J'ai le cafard Je t'en pris viens voir Ce que ton amour représente pour moi
Why can't the french adapt and try and understand?! Gods knows the rest of us find it hard to understand what the french do be saying when they are speaking english, but at least we try and meet them half way. It's all or nothing with the french
@glapots I think every country needs to be vigilant and proud of their language or else English will destroy all other languages in the future and as a native English speaker I don't want to see that.
I thought my French was getting rusty because I could only understand a few words of this song! And those that I could didn't make sense, eg "seche, il pleut" (dry, it's raining").
Pour les francophones; comprenez-vous les mots "français" de la chanson "Michelle" (Les Beatles)?

@aquarellepeinture Quoi !? Je ne suis pas française mais je peux comprends quelle elle est chanter et je ne connais pas français si bien. Peut-etre, tu ne peut pas comprends parce que tu ne veux pas car elle est e est américaine!!
@CartoonLyricsMusic Aucun rapport. Tout au contraire, j'ai une passion débordante pour l'amerique ! I LOVE USA ! J'aimerai y vivre. C'est l'un de mes plus grand rêve. Donc sa n'a aucun rapport. Elle a juste un mauvais accent.
@aquarellepeinture Ok ouais, mais tu peut au moins vois que elle est essayer. Pourquoi as-tu si rapide pour juger son accent ? N'est-il pas vrai que quand des gens français chantent en anglais, c'est avec un mauvais accent ? C'est le meme chose, non? Non, le difference est que des gens anglais sont plus gentil et lui disent leur accent est mignon et donnent encouragment à elle.
@CartoonLyricsMusic you are true! but is it for money that some French singers sing in English and English singers sing in French or maybe cause they love foreign language but that 's not meaning that the result is good :)
@CartoonLyricsMusic by the way, this song is well known in FRANCE by the advertising of L'Elixir de Nina Ricci, please look for " pub Nina L'Elixir de Nina Ricci 2010 " in youtube! :)
@CartoonLyricsMusic Hum, I am not against the U.S.A, and Blondie was (is) fantastic, but... she has a very strong accent, and the French speaker do not understand, we are sorry. Of course, if you are American you can understand because you have the same accent. Anyway, it is an awesome song.
@Niles1994 c'est bien de vouloir parler Français mais chu désolé je comprends que pouic à ses paroles d'où un intérêt limité de cette traduction ce que n'enlève rien au talent de l'artiste. Au fait qu'est-ce qu'elle devient la p'tite mère BLONDIE?
I like the "depeche toi" better than "hurry up". I wish they would've put it on the franglais version. Debbie has admitted her Spanish is better than her French pronunciation.

@IchiKaren lol i'm NOT french though i studied french and even i can understand parts of it. methinks you either have a chip on your shoulder or you don't speak french ;)
@IchiKaren "It's ok now ?" -- Je ne sais pas, est-il autorisé? si vous vous souvenez, j'ai donné 2 possibilités, une seule a donné suite à votre nationalité. doit être l'autre, je suppose lol i suggest knocking that heavy chip off the shoulder ;)
@munchluxe63 I think it's because you've got the same "English ears" than her. But it's tru that for some French speaker, she has a strong accent... But it's not sooo bad.

i've attempted to learn some spanish, german, french, dutch, norwegian & japanese phrases to make my travels easier. i am amazed how often this helped & enhanced my travels abroad. simply showing the effort on my part brought the most kind & helpful responses in each country rather than just speaking in english louder, as if they were hard of hearing as i generally witness other americans when abroad.
%wise more continentals speak english than americans vs vrsa
@scottromano402 It has been that way for a long time. When the first George Bush was president (1989-1993) he could already refer to English as "the lingua franca, the international language of business" in a televised speech.
@scottromano402 I think you're totally right. I myself live in Holland and I'm obligated to learn French, German and English and, especially with exchange students, these languages have helped me a lot.
Nederlands is een moeilijke taal dus vet goed, man!
God, it's annoying when foreigners accuse American's of a bad accent in any language, yet we don't make fun of the thousands and thousands that sing in English with THEIR accent. Fucking trolls.
@Jirkenz131 - But i ALWAYS hear Americans make fun of non-native English speakers who have an accent yet 95%+ of Americans do not speak any other language. As an American, I can kindly say please don't be a typical American asshole. Ok? Peace.
@2landscapes No, you're the one being an arrogant selfish prick. Every day our in our country, I guarantee you'll meet someone who's Mexican and cannot communicate properly and adequate enough to convey any sort of speak that is comprehensible. Leave percentage out of this. I have not met any American in my entire life that has laughed in ones face at the reality that most immigrants here can be barely be understood in English. So yes, I have every Goddamn right to be an asshole.
@Jirkenz131 People don't have to laugh in one's face to be an asshole. Doing so behind someone's back is enough. I have been living in different countries overseas for a while now and I often come across Americans (and others from English speaking countries) who have lived elsewhere for 5-10+ years and still barely speak the language there. They feel everyone else should speak English. Yet the natives there are not assholes to the English speaking expatriates.
@2landscapes So noted. You are right about that. Most Americans have not bothered to learn a second language and I'm not sure why it's not a priority. I'll try not to be a typical American asshole. A lot of us are not assholes, but just super focused on our own little world. Maybe it will change eventually. I hope so. M Apache Junction AZ
@Jirkenz131 Yes, there is a lot of people who sing in English with an other accent but I think you can generally understand them. There, it's really impossible to understand (I'm French).
There is a problem with you French chaps. Unless a foreigner speaks French perfectly like a native French, you pretend not to understand. I understand words like' Depeche toi' and 'Je te promet' on first listening.
If you maintain that you do not understand a word, I advise you to see an ENT doctor. If your hearing is OK, then you are simply a thicko. Je doute que tu parles le Français bien ,puisque la plupart des Français parlent le mauvais Français.
@zrshwe I can understand some strangers which speak French but there it's incomprehensible. Yes we can distinguish some words but that's all. And I'm not the single French type who says that....
And sorry your sentence is not really correct. It would be "Je doute que tu parles bien le Français, puisque la plupart des Français parlent mal le Français."
Désolé mais c'est toi qui parles mal le Français. Et je me demande d’où tu sors ce stéréotype. Peut être nous confonds tu avec des Québecois...
Maybe you speak French OK, but I can imagine you using Putain in every sentence. But your English is worse than my French. Its not ' some strangers which speak French' but should be 'some foreigners who speak French'. Do not use which for people and the French word étranger is translated as foreigner not stranger. And its not 'I'm not the single French type' 'I am not an only French'. The French word 'type' is not used in English as a person. Les Québecois parlent mieux le Français.
No it is not perjurative. 'Type' in English is pronounced not like French type, and I am sure you know that. English type is never used as a person like in French. English type has a meaning very similar to the French word 'genre'. You can say that type of person but you cannot say ' That is a good type' , you have to say 'That is a good man'. You cannot use type as a substitute for a person.
Sorry, if I sound rude in previous comments. I regard these comments as a game for fun.
if it means living in a society where wine and women are so important, then we're ready to accept foreign idiots thinking that.
btw thats a major insult to all the victims from both wars...whatever their nationalities. so yeah...very funny you putin de tarlouse mangeuse de merde

@SvenTveskegg Ha bah, maintenant on me soupçonne de pas être française. Charmant.
I AM FRENCH. And because of her accent, I can't understand this song. That's all o_o.
When I make an effort, I understand some words, but I do not understand the whole song. It's ok now ? You're happy ?

She sings "Depeche toi" for "hurry up"
cathoderaytube2 6 months ago
@cathoderaytube2
Whats wrong with that? To hurry up is a reflexive verb in French . So you have to say depeche-toi or depechez -vous.

wow, some nasty comments kids!
i've attempted to learn some spanish, german, french, dutch, norwegian & japanese phrases to make my travels easier. i am amazed how often this helped & enhanced my travels abroad. simply showing the effort on my part brought the most kind & helpful responses in each country rather than just speaking in english louder, as if they were hard of hearing as i generally witness other americans when abroad.

@scottromano402 It has been that way for a long time. When the first George Bush was president (1989-1993) he could already refer to English as "the lingua franca, the international language of business" in a televised speech.

@scottromano402 I think you're totally right. I myself live in Holland and I'm obligated to learn French, German and English and, especially with exchange students, these languages have helped me a lot.

God, it's annoying when foreigners accuse American's of a bad accent in any language, yet we don't make fun of the thousands and thousands that sing in English with THEIR accent. Fucking trolls.

@Jirkenz131 - But i ALWAYS hear Americans make fun of non-native English speakers who have an accent yet 95%+ of Americans do not speak any other language. As an American, I can kindly say please don't be a typical American asshole. Ok? Peace.
2landscapes 1 year ago
@2landscapes No, you're the one being an arrogant selfish prick. Every day our in our country, I guarantee you'll meet someone who's Mexican and cannot communicate properly and adequate enough to convey any sort of speak that is comprehensible. Leave percentage out of this. I have not met any American in my entire life that has laughed in ones face at the reality that most immigrants here can be barely be understood in English. So yes, I have every Goddamn right to be an asshole.
Jirkenz131 1 year ago
@Jirkenz131 People don't have to laugh in one's face to be an asshole. Doing so behind someone's back is enough. I have been living in different countries overseas for a while now and I often come across Americans (and others from English speaking countries) who have lived elsewhere for 5-10+ years and still barely speak the language there. They feel everyone else should speak English. Yet the natives there are not assholes to the English speaking expatriates.

@2landscapes So noted. You are right about that. Most Americans have not bothered to learn a second language and I'm not sure why it's not a priority. I'll try not to be a typical American asshole. A lot of us are not assholes, but just super focused on our own little world. Maybe it will change eventually. I hope so. M Apache Junction AZ

@romain1993
There is a problem with you French chaps. Unless a foreigner speaks French perfectly like a native French, you pretend not to understand. I understand words like' Depeche toi' and 'Je te promet' on first listening.
If you maintain that you do not understand a word, I advise you to see an ENT doctor. If your hearing is OK, then you are simply a thicko. Je doute que tu parles le Français bien ,puisque la plupart des Français parlent le mauvais Français.

@zrshwe I can understand some strangers which speak French but there it's incomprehensible. Yes we can distinguish some words but that's all. And I'm not the single French type who says that....
And sorry your sentence is not really correct. It would be "Je doute que tu parles bien le Français, puisque la plupart des Français parlent mal le Français."
Désolé mais c'est toi qui parles mal le Français. Et je me demande d’où tu sors ce stéréotype. Peut être nous confonds tu avec des Québecois...
romain1993 5 months ago
@romain1993
Maybe you speak French OK, but I can imagine you using Putain in every sentence. But your English is worse than my French. Its not ' some strangers which speak French' but should be 'some foreigners who speak French'. Do not use which for people and the French word étranger is translated as foreigner not stranger. And its not 'I'm not the single French type' 'I am not an only French'. The French word 'type' is not used in English as a person. Les Québecois parlent mieux le Français.

I hope you do not introduce yourself saying'I am a French type'. Hahaha, that is the most hilarious mistake made by a French I've ever heard..
zrshwe 5 months ago
@zrshwe Do you mean that type is pejorative in English? If it the case, I didn't know because the French word type isn't (type is a French word).
If you want to say that I'm not in standard, look at my thumbs up...
romain1993 5 months ago
@romain1993
No it is not perjurative. 'Type' in English is pronounced not like French type, and I am sure you know that. English type is never used as a person like in French. English type has a meaning very similar to the French word 'genre'. You can say that type of person but you cannot say ' That is a good type' , you have to say 'That is a good man'. You cannot use type as a substitute for a person.
Sorry, if I sound rude in previous comments. I regard these comments as a game for fun.
