Excellent! Hearing it from a male's perspective, translated into French, and with a different guitar arrangement refreshed the song and kept it interesting. Because, in all honesty, Lisa with Lille is becoming a bit like Billy Joel with Piano Man (for example).

Thanks guys for your nice comments. Here are the lyrics (as I say in the video, the translation is maybe not perfect, tried the best...) :


Pour une journée, il a tenté,
Sans vraiment savoir quoi raconter
Il demanda bien pourquoi,
Ce qu’il lui dit cette fois,
Alors qu’il l’aimait tant,
L’a éloignée pour longtemps

Chaque instant, un combat,
Je me suis perdu mais porte en moi
Tout ce que tu as pu dire
Et la douceur de tes sourires
Ce que j’ai tant chéri,
Aujourd’hui n’est plus et libre je suis.

Tous les jours, passés à dormir,
Le soleil je voulais fuir,
Loin des bruits, sans la souffrance,
Des plaies des jouets de mon enfance
Qu’un peu j’aime, peut-être,
Tout est passé par la fenêtre

Nous sommes sortis, le soir seulement,
Nous accrochant à nos sentiments
Et le soleil devant si grand,
Le souffle coupé en courant
Vers la plage infinie
Le soleil et la mer réunis

Thanks again for your nice comments.
Eva, yes I hope Lisa will sing this french version, specially she speaks french and that in fact as I say on the video she asked me this translation. We met at the french musical show she did recently (One shot not) (you should be able to see it on internet very soon), told me she liked the 2 little videos I did before (covers of "Pirate song" and "Pistachio") and suggested to me to do a french version of Lille that maybe she could sing when she will do concerts in France.
