The new (old) part in The Professor?
 

Lately Damien has been singing an extra part in French at the very end of the Professor.

I thought it was something he had just started doing, but I just realised he was already doing it in 2003, at least he sings the exact same thing in the Passau gig I have.

Is this a Damien lyric or a bit of a cover?

Has anyone transcribed the lyrics??? I cannot figure out a single thing he's singing... nothing at all... the only word I get is the last one, "rien"... not much eh? Did a search but all threads have the two typical parts, Le Silence + La Pluie parts but not this one...

Anyone?

Thanks in advance

From irishmusiccentral.com:

Ouvrir les seins
Où un poème plein
Que l'on a posé exprès pour le coeur
Puis au même instant
Se tenir par la main se promener en parlant de tout et de,
De....
Rien...

I don't think it's a cover, cause I googled and couldn't find anything.

ouvrir les seins
où un poème plein
que l'on a composé exprès pour le coeur
et au même instant
se tenir par la main
se promener en parlant de tout et de...
de rien...

this one?

yep, thanks!!! I really like the last bit, "se promener en parlant de tout et de rien"

what does 'ouvrir les seins' exactly mean?? Because the only meaning I know for 'sein' is breast... which wouldn't make much sense... i guess it has another meaning ;)

You sure it's not "les sens?" Taken together, the whole phrase would mean "open the senses." "Les seins" might make sense though. I'm not too sure.

Not sure about seins vs sens, my French is really bad... anyone?

There is a new video on youtube from the London gig and he does this 3rd verse in French...

all by himself.

thanks for the transcription btw, I've been looking for it!

i just checked this Irish Central Music site and they translate 'ouvrir les seins' as 'open the book'!!!!!!!??????
