Astronauts and Tambourines

LYRICS AND A QUESTION (sorry for the obnoxious majuscules)

Question: Do you mind if I upload a song in French? I'll provide a translation.


Lyrics:

When I was just barely 3
You told me you had great hopes for me
I would be an astronaut, a physicist, or explore the sea

When I was somewhere around 6
You said I should be a scientist
To find the answers, to make a list
Of the reasons why we all exist

I remember when I was 10
I wanted to be an archaeologist then
So you brought me your old history books
You said: " They're not as boring as they look"

But they were
I tried to read them, but they weren't good at all
I'm sorry if I let you down,
I let the whole thing fall (that is a lie. I LOVE history)

I think when I was about 12
I said I hated math and science as well
You said: "Without both you'd probably be dead
My dear, what's gotten into your head"

I don't know,
Thanks for the advice
Or lectures, to be precise
I'm sorry if I let you down,
But letting down's the price

Now that I'm around 16
You tell me (that) I should follow my dreams
But I don't image you being to keen
With me traveling the world
Playing tambourine...

Thank you!

I think you forgetting the lyrics adds a sense of charm to this music video, not even kidding. I don't think I'd like it as much if it was perfect. It would feel set up. You can tell you're genuine and you love doing what you do. Please, lady. Keep it up. I really enjoy your music and videos!

cute.

Despite its very pleasant tone I teared up when I first heard this. It reminded me of my inner voice always having these grand plans for me but then it took me forever to learn how to have fun. I'm seventeen and I'm just beginning to feel young.

[BrusselsRock]
