Every alizee site the english translation is poor its either word for word or been translated by 20 languages before it gets to english.I've been a bit rude on the site so i'll give you a treat i translated this song this morning and you wont find it ANYWHERE else on the internet i check every alizee site so dont let me catch you using these lyrics on ANOTHER site email me for permisision or you will be in trouble....



Hey!Amigo!/hey!friend!



Strolling about

swaying your hips,you being happy

she's strolling about

in the avenues and the roads

<serve the men>

his feet so tender

barcelona,i make him understand well

she who herself deceives

she gossips, so be her emotions

she decieves herself

she is becomming a coach,the cat is waving making his back well rounded

she manipulated this one who said no



hey amigo

she wants to be the high wind

she wishes to have the tattoo's off his back

hey amigo

my amigo,she wishes she was beautiful

to have one love without wearing make-up



strolling about

swaying her hips,you being happy

strolling about

in the avenues and the roads

<to put them sailing>

his soft face

barcelona,to take there as his hostage

she herself has given

she gossips,so be it about her weight

she becomes a coach

the cat smiles in an affected way

she lies and greets men

she who is sweet leaps and takes off



hey amigo

she wants to be ther highwind

she wants to hve the tattoo's on his back

hey amigo

my amigo sh wishes to be beautiful

and find true love withou any make-up



im 99.9% sure its right,who in the hell translated i'm fed up thats rubbish translating i hope you enjoy this and it makes more sense than other translations(it only took me a few minutes to translate this so i do speak french and could have a great conversation with alizee and the fact i translated this first gives me a big head so now you know why i'm a bit arrogant!) 8)

Actually, search again. :P I posted my own translation on idgmedia.com's (http://www.idgmedia.com) forum yesterday morning. You can find it here (http://www.moonlight-reflections.com/alizee/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=48).



Mine isn't that great either, and I mean no offense, but you really shouldn't go around professing perfection when you're guessing 9/10's of what's being said. You really do have a big head. :P

well,well, well another rookie telling me what to do no offence but theres some lines i know are deffinetly wrong in yours but there pretty much the same. a message to all you out there 10 fluent english-french speaking fans could translate a song and it would be different every time the problem is most words have double meanings!

As I said, mine's not perfect--nowhere near it, as a matter of fact. I'm pretty humble about my inability to translate well and admit to it on every case.



What I want to know is why there's no translations of the songs available by native French speakers. Why doesn't anyone volunteer?

french people dont like us simple as that and dont want to share her with us! till then its just you and me translating i think we could have done a better version of i'm fed up!

i checked out your canada forum not to impressive you should hang around here a bit more and meet some more alizee stalkers...i mean fans

if i have time on saturday i'll translate amelie m'a dit i know no-body's translated it yet so Kam cant say he translated it so if you see it on saturday here you know i thought about first plus he's canadian so he's got that french connection and probably grew up learning it as a second language i've had to learn it in my spare time

either way....I think that the best way to learn what alizee is saying is by learning french myself....
