FRENCH LYRICS:
MIKA -- Elle Me Dit

Elle me dit "écris 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 gai
Tu finiras comme ton frère"

CHORUS:
Elle me dit,
Elle me dit "c'est ta vie
fais ce 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 ca."
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie?
Danse danse danse danse elle me dit danse x2

Elle me dit "fais comme les autres garcons,
va taper dans un ballon,
tu deviendras populaire".
Elle me dit, "qu'est-ce que tu fous sur internet,
ca va pas bien dans ta tête.
Regarde le temps que tu perds."

Elle me dit "pourquoi tu te plains tout le temps?
On dirait que t'as huit ans.
C'est pas comme ca que tu vas plaire"
Elle me dit "un jour je ne serai plus là
et c'est quand elle me dit ça
qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime.

(CHORUS)

Elle me dit, "t'as pas encore des cheveux blancs,
mais t'auras bientôt 30 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

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 ca
qu'elle me dit un truc que j'aime

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
MIKA -- She Said

she said, "write a happy song,
Not a lousy depressing song
A song that the whole world is gonna love''
She said ''You'll become a millionaire
You'll have something to be proud of
And you won't become just like your dad''
She said ''don't go lock yourself in your room
Come-on snap out of it and dance
Tell me your problem with this?''

She said ''you're either messed up
or maybe gay, don't end up like your brother.''

CHORUS:
She said ''it's your life
you can do what you want to do
one of these days you'll understand
and you'll do like you wanna do''
she said ''You're like out-there
come out of your big bubble
You do nothing, I guess you like it that way
Why are you wasting your life?
Why are you wasting your life?
Why are you wasting your life?
dance dance dance dance'' she said dance(x2)

She said ''Go do like the other boys
bouncing their basketballs all the time
You'll become more popular''
She said ''what are doing on the internet
you're head's not working right
think of all the time you're losing''

She said ''Why are you complaining all the time
you sound like an old man
Like this like that you're always crying''
She said ''one of these day I won't be around''
That's one of the things she said I liked the most.

(CHORUS)

She said ''You don't have any grey hair yet
and soon you'll be 30
Go do what you dream''
She said ''You're always gonna be like a child
who never gets any older, but I'm already old.''

She said ''Keep a few cool friends
and what exactly will they end up doing with their lives?
They do whatever.''
She said ''One of these days you're gonna love me''
That's one thing she said I like the most.

  • lyrics are too slow...

  • I think this song is quiet easy to understand ... I'm learning French for almost 2 years now and I understand a lot. I don't know every word but I know what the song is about.. what ever, its different to the other songs from Mika and its kind of funny that it is in French. But I would like him to do English songs again ;-)

  • Hahaa i know the hole song cause im french :D It's an awesome song :D <3

  • It's talking about women who get on men's nerves, driving them crazy. The women in that song are firstly mothers but i think that it's concerns also sisters and girlfriends.

  • this song makes me so happy and i have no idea what its saying

  • is there ANYONE who can teach Frendh!?!?!?!?!? :-D

  • elle me dit, que je suis un connar, je vais avoir des enfants et je suis pere noel

  • @gleekfreek1 it means 'waste' like 'why you waisting yor life'

  • @lebronnike so does this mean that french people arent black white or from latin america?
