Music from across the ocean…

These songs are very different from anything that I have recently listened to, and they are all extremely catchy in their own way.

La Roux – Bulletproof

This 2 person band hails from Britain despite the french name! The lead singer reminds me a lot of Molly Ringwald. I sing this while walking my dog

SS501 – Love Like This

Yes, it is a South Korean boy band… love it. The song is Korean, but english is thrown in here and there, too.

Helmut Fritz- Ça m’énerve

This song was really popular in the french clubs last winter. I never really knew what he was singing about until I stumbled upon the video. It is actually pretty funny; the singer recounts everything that bugs him, and he is extremely ridiculous.

Ocean Drive – Without You (Perdue sans toi) Traduction / Translation

Ocean Drive’s “Without You (Perdue sans toi) This song is currently huge in France, and it is a great mix of English and French. It is a sweet and simple song about two lovers who have parted ways, and are hoping to reunite. The double language aspect of the song makes me imagine a situation where two exchange students in love parted ways to return their home countries.

Translation of the main parts of the song – thanks to LetsSingIt for the lyrics

Lyrics

Traduction / Translation

[Gilles] You don’t need to think about it, my only love I promise you too. Don’t need to check it out, trust me, I swear I can’t live without you. Oh oh oh. [Oriska] Accro à tes sens, je frise l’effervescence Je suis dans un brouillard, est-ce trop tôt ou trop tard ? Plus envie de souffrir, plus envie de mentir Toi seul me trouveras, je suis… Perdue sans toi [Oriska] Ta bouche sur ma peau, j’en deviens vraiment accro Tes mains sur mon corps m’obligent à te dire “Encore” J’ai envie de te dire “Je t’aime à en mourir” Je ne trouve plus les mots, chéri, I love you so… Chéri, I love you so…

[Gilles] Tu ne devrais pas y penser, mon seul amour, je te promets Tu ne devrais pas le vérifier, fais-moi confiance, Je ne peux vivre sans toi. Oh oh oh [Oriska] Hooked on your senses, I am on the verge of turmoil I am in a fog, is it too soon or too late? I no longer want to suffer, I no longer want to lie You alone will find me, I am lost… without you [Oriska] Your lips on my skin… I become truly hooked Your hands on my body make me say “More” I want to tell you that “I love you to death” I can’t find the words anymore, my dear, I love you so… My dear, I love you so…
