just want to say hello to every Damien Rice fans, i've discovered Damien's music thanks tothe french rock radio OUIFM a few days ago... the day after i went to my music shop and bought thecd!


It put me down on my knees!


Yesterday i was told Damien is going to perform in Paris at the end ofoctober so i've just bought a ticket to this concert...


I'm sure it's going to bean incerdible show!


The song i prefer is "Older Chests"


"some things in life may change,
some things they stay the same,
like time..."

Salut and welcome have a listen to the professor and let us know what damien's french is like with la dance fille at the end of it!

Bonjour [img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

hello france, holland here. looks like damien is conquering more and more the mainland! [img]smileys/smiley31.gif[/img]

welcome vinceeee. au revoir!! (thats the only french phrase i know :/) glad to have ya [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]!

you should learn another phrase as well: voulez vous coucher avec mois ces soir? and another one: ne me quitte pas


it's very important to know these if you'll ever be in france [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

poor tania...I told you I would tell you more french! Anyways, bonjour Vincetrader. Je parle Francais, mais je pense c'est pas tres bien. Je n'ai pas les accents sur mon ordinateur. Bienvienue a le site. Maintent j'ai un autre personne a parler dans francais avec. Even if it is slightly horrible. Have lots of fun here.

~Natasha

Thanks for trying to speak french!


Ive listened to the song "the professor" and carefully to the end of the song with sentences in french, to be honest i don't understand every words, i think Damien Rice translated a english text in french word by word so it easily brings errors...


But as you can noticed these mistakes are understandable regarding the previous sentence ("I finished it off with some French wine and cheese") [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]


Here's a little translation of the french part of "the professor"=


La fille danse
The girls danses
Quand elle joue avec moi
When she plays with me
Et je pense que je l'aime des fois
And I think i love her
Le silence, n'ose pas dis-donc
Silence doesn't dare
Quand on est ensemble
When we're together
Mettre les mots
Finding words
Sur la petite dodo
????

nice one Katinka, very cheeky haha [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

:o!! :0!! kat is tryina get me raped!! i sure as hell dont wanna go to france askin guys to sleep with me..lol. whats ne me quitte pas anyway?dont take away? dont take off? eh..ionno.



teach me teach me! if there wouldnt have been a song about "voulez vous coucher avec mois ces soir" i probably would have taken katinkas advice..http://www.freecfm.com/d/damien/foru...ys/smiley5.gif



ooh.. nice thanks! ive always sang along thatpart and never knew what i was singing. i love that part of the Profcus it makes me feel like i can speak french fluently:>! ..when i really know squat. =/

Ne me quitte pasmeans don't leave me. It's a brilliant Jacques Brel song, which in his turn was a brilliant singer. Download some of his MP3's (ne me quitte pas, voir un amie pleurer, le plat pays, amsterdam, la quete, etc.) and you'll see where damo got his inspiration from for "la fille danse". If i have to explain what Damien Rice sounds like i tend to name Brel besides Buckley, Radiohead, etc...


Salut!

ahh it means dont leave me.. i was close! sorta. :/


ill try and find this guys webbie site and see if he has any songs in there. i have a phobia of downloading music :l but this should be good. i love La Fille Danse with a passionso maybe ill love other french music! and hey..its also a step up to learning french.


thx fleek!

what's the url cornfleek?

Duhm, don't really have a URL presto, you people use Kazaa or even better DC++? He doesn't really have a website i guess, he's sort of dead for a long time allready. Looking on the web wouldn't bring up much i reckon. I'm using DC++ for P2P sharing, which is quite handy for these sort of things...

well there is a website but not with mp3's. and downloading the kazaa stuff i cannot do because i'm using my boss' labtop and cannot download all this stuff on it. so, helaas helaas.[img]smileys/smiley13.gif[/img]

That's true, Jeff Buckley was a great fan a a french female singer called Edith Piaf (if you can download "la vie en rose", "l'hymnea l'amour"or even "la foule" by Edith Piaf you won't regret!)


these lyrics are available at http://www.paroles.net/artis/1001

ooohhhh la la


sorry in a Frenchie mood [img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

ha ha, I wonder how many french people hear that from americans...probably too many.

hi, everybody.


Another french fan in the place, take care.


PS: if you want a very nice song in french, take a look on"la chanson des vieux amants",Jacques Brel songs.


See You and take care

I'm in strasbourg (est of france), but i was borned in Bordeaux close to the sea.


Gros poutoux is very affectionate term, with a lot of tenderness.
