What is the translation of the french bit at the end of the song? I think it has something to do with loving a small dodo!!

I think you need a french guy for this, and you're lucky, coz I'm french...[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]


So i will translate the song very soon. lisa has a great voice, but her french accent is quite difficult to understand lol.

I think i have translated it right but im not sure[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]


when these lyrics are translated


La fille danse, Quand elle joue avec moi, Et je pense que je l'aime, des fois, Le silence, n'ose pas des-donc, Quand on est ensemble, Mettre les mots, Sur la petite dodo


La fille danse, Quand elle joue avec moi et la pluie, Elle me manque, Poutquoi? Non non, C'est la chanson, la nuit, le vent, L'amour, le son, De la petite Dodo.


They become


The girl dances, When she plays with me, And i think that i like it sometimes, The silence, does not dare says therefore, When one is together, Put the words, On the small sleep,


The girl dances , When she plays with me and the rain, She lacks me, Why?, no no, This is the song, the night, the wind, Love, the sound, Of the small sleep.


Bit confusing ifyou translate by a book or by a onlinetranslater, perhaps if youknow a french person or a french teacher they will be able to translate it properly


i hope this helps[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

"Quand on est ensemble"-- when we're together



"Elle me manque" -- i miss her
