Description:
Some lyrics on this last instrumental track from Michael2 :
" what will you do ? " - http://www.macjams.com/song/38709
You can see the translation near the French lyrics (I hope it's correct !)
Thank you for this collab Michael and sorry, your instrumental track is a little denatured because I have substituted some missing instruments (bass and drums).
And don't forget, pay attention where you park...
Lyrics:
dans sa chambre de bonne, coup d'oeil dans le miroir, encore un peu de fard et puis, le départ
in her maid's bedroom, glance in the mirror, some more of make-up and then, departure
de sa démarche de madone, elle prend le boulevard jusqu'à son territoire, le trottoir
of her step of madone, she goes down the boulevard up to its territory, the pavement
et chaque jour elle déambule pour une poignée de dollars
and every day she roams for a handle of dollars
elle ne fait pas de préambules à qui succombe et qui s'égare
she comes straight to the point with who is succumbing and wandering
or (she does not make introductions to whom succumb and which gets lost)
sur le trottoir son corps ondule, féline comme un léopard
on the pavement her body waves, feline as a leopard
elle s'arrête aux véhicules qu'elle carresse du regard
she stops at the vehicles that she carresse of the glance
puis elle décroche un fascicule qu'elle remplit à l'encre noire
then she picks up a paper which she fills with black ink
elle distribue sans scrupule ses amendes sans égard
she distributes without scruple its fines, without respect
et chaque jour elle déambule pour une poignée de dollars
and every day she roams for a handle of dollars
elle ne fait pas de préambules à qui succombe et qui s'égare
she comes straight to the point with who is succumbing and wandering
or (she does not make introductions to whom succumb and which gets lost)
elle décroche un fascicule qu'elle remplit à l'encre noire
she picks up a paper which she fills with black ink
elle distribue sans scrupule, fais gaffe ou tu te gares !
she distributes without scruple, pay attention where you park !

Only your rich voice could make a song about a meter maid sultry and cool!
You and michael's song were made for each other. Michael, your composing impresses me more each time. Marc, you are such a poet. Special, special subject matter.

this song &mdash 02/07/08 - 07:12:38 AM
is so well done, i feel like knowing how to speak french should be mandatory here. the production is no less than spectacular. i know alot of people are focused on the mixing and overall sound, and i think it is because the production makes the song have life. great post. fantastic skills.

What a &mdash 02/07/08 - 03:22:48 PM
great humorous twist in this song, so subtle. I love the organ tone in this; just perfect and with that purring sound in the middle too. Such a Continental sound anyway, but with Marc's excellent vocal the atmosphere is sealed. It's nice to have the translation, but I think the French language helps make this song as good as it is and carries it along nicely. Wonderful stuff, regards M [ Reply to This ]

It's a real pleasure to see your support Walter. Thank you very much.
Actually, I listen to the last Charlotte Gainsbourg' CD, excellent for me...
Do you know it ?

Charlotte &mdash 02/11/08 - 12:19:03 PM
...yes I know her, but not well enough. They've been playing one or two songs of her on the Belgian radio quite regularly in the last year or so. I think she's very very good. Considering buying her album...
Merci Marc!

I don't know &mdash 02/09/08 - 01:58:36 AM
what it all means, but the sounds are nice to. For some reason I am thinking Peter Sellers and the Pink Panther, Just has a detective feel to me.
But anyway
Thanks for sharing, like the organ and how it gets a funky sound and mixes in nicely with the French voicing. [ Reply to This ]

Love the music and the singing. Very smooth sound and your vocal delivery has that certain something that only the French can do. Other than that, I don't know how to describe it except that it is excellent.
Michael2, I love the music bed you laid down here, it's such a subtle groove. Great piece man.
