Can anyone tell me what the French lyrics in The Professor actually mean?? It's been bugging me for ages!![img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img] I did French at school so if I ever need to know where the local piscine or boulangerie is I'd be fine but as far as these lyrics go I'm lost!!![img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img][img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img] Also is there a meaning to the song as far as Damo's concerned?? Thanks Dudes!!!!

I do speak french and I can say that there are mistakes in what he says! La fille danse Quand elle joue avec moi Et je pense que je l'aime des fois Le silence, n'ose pas dis-donc Quand on est ensemble Mettre les mots Sur la petite dodo // The girl dances When she's playing with me And I think I love her sometimes Silence hesitates When we're together To put the words (And that's were the mistake is... what does that mean?) On the little... sleep (or something like that) or On the little Dodo (maybe it's her name...) La fille danse Quand elle joue avec moi et la pluie Elle me manque Pourquoi? Non,non C'est la chanson, la nuit, le vent L'amour , le son De la petite Dodo The girl dances When she plays with me under the rain I miss her Why? No, No It's the song, the night, the wind The love, the sound Of the little Dodo (if it's her name) QcFlk

its been bugging me for ages and i translated it myself realised there was nothing "crude" in it (you know how damien can be sometimes) so i asked my french teacher (today actually)and most of what everyone's said was right but the bit about the sleep she said it would be more like a lullaby that someone would be singing so its something like "put the words to the little lullaby" that conversation resulted in a big convo about damien she asked if he's really as good as everyone makes out and i said he wasnt... he's better! and she said she was gonna buy his album... i like my french teacher... she has cool clothes and some sense of good music!

Truth is, I do speak french, this is my first language, and I can say that "sur la petite dodo" bugs me cause it means nothing in french, there's a huge mistake in the sentence that makes me doubt of what means "dodo". Maybe it could be a lullaby and Damien didn't know that lullaby is "berceuse" in french cause dodo means more sleep, but if he wanted to say sleep, there's an error cause the sentence is female and it should be male cause dodo is male... French is so complicated [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img] ZachC, the mistakes were because I didn't know how to tell it in english, not because I didn't know what it meant in french [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]so I replaced it by "hesitate"... means almost the same thing I think.
