Si Je Perds {Musical Mondays}

What is Musical Mondays?
Musical Mondays is a weekly linky party where we share a song we're into for the week, and talk about why we like it-or why it effects us. Along with talking about music, I host a month-long music related giveaway.
This week's song:
Si Je Perds
by Zaz

 
French
English
Je me sens brocante, je suis la méchante
Si mes enfants m'invitent je fais la pas contente
et quand ils me visitent je suis la transparente
Je me ressemble pâlotte, je me sanglote
Mes enfants me nettoient, des inconnus me sortent
a croire quand je me vois que je suis déjà morte

Si je perds la memoire il faudrait pas s'inquiéter
C'est que ma vie est au soir d'une triste journée
Si je perds la raison il faudrait pas s'en vouloir
Si ce n'est plus ma maison laissez-moi dans le couloir

Si je perds les pédales, et si ça vous inquiète
Si ça vous fait trop mal, ou je ne sais plus qui vous êtes
Et si je perds la boule n'ayez pas trop pitié
Ma tête est une foule de visages oubliés

Je me sens friperie, je me fais momie
Mes enfants me déplacent comme un vieux manuscrit
et j'ai les feuilles qui cassent, je suis mal écrite

Je me sens bizarre, je m'habille trop tard
Si je repense aux instants où j'ai fait, sans le savoir,
la course avec le temps sans me dire au revoir

Si je perds la memoire il faudrait pas s'inquiéter
C'est que ma vie est au soir d'une triste journée
Si je perds la raison il faudrait pas s'en vouloir
Si ce n'est plus ma maison laissez-moi dans le couloir

Si je perds les pédales, et si ça vous inquiète
Si ça vous fait trop mal, ou je ne sais plus qui vous êtes
Et si je perds la boule n'ayez pas trop pitié
Ma tête est une foule de visages oubliés

Si je perds la memoire il faudrait pas s'inquiéter
C'est que ma vie est au soir d'une triste journée
Si je perds la raison il faudrait pas s'en vouloir
Si ce n'est plus ma maison laissez-moi dans le couloir

Si je perds les pédales, et si ça vous inquiète
Si ça vous fait trop mal, ou je ne sais plus qui vous êtes
Et si je perds la tête n'ayes pas trop pitié
Bientôt je serai bête et vous aurez m'oubliée
I feel like a flea market, I am the wicked
If my children invite me I'm not just the
and when they visit me I'm transparent
I look pale, I sobbed
My children cleanse me, come to me unknown
to believe when I see that I'm already dead

If I lose the memory should not worry
Is that my life is a sad day evening
If I lose the reason we should not blame
If this is not my house let me in the hallway

If I lose the pedals, and if you're worried
If it makes you too bad, or I do not know who you are
And if I lose the ball do not be too sorry
My head is a lot of forgotten faces

I feel thrift, I'm mummy
My children move me like an old manuscript
and I leaves that break, I'm poorly written

I feel weird, I dress too late
If I think back to the times when I did, without knowing it,
race with time to say goodbye

If I lose the memory should not worry
Is that my life is a sad day evening
If I lose the reason we should not blame
If this is not my house let me in the hallway

If I lose the pedals, and if you're worried
If it makes you too bad, or I do not know who you are
And if I lose the ball do not be too sorry
My head is a lot of forgotten faces

If I lose the memory should not worry
Is that my life is a sad day evening
If I lose the reason we should not blame
If this is not my house let me in the hallway

If I lose the pedals, and if you're worried
If it makes you too bad, or I do not know who you are
And if I lose my head is too pity ayes
Soon I'll be stupid and you forgotten me



Lyrics & Translation from HERE. (Not sure how correct they are-I'm still learning!)

This is a beautiful French song that has a haunting melody and a quick pace about it.  I love listening to it and trying to sing along (though I can't-it's too fast and I'm still slow with my French) in the car.  But it's beautiful, just like everything Zaz does.  I love pretty much everything by her.

  11. I'm so jealous of these glasses and how great they look on you. Your older style suits my face a lot better. I have such a small head and very short face so the darker, chunky glasses don't seem to fit it well. But but but... I like them. *pout*
