Vanessa Paradis is the partner of Johnny Depp (Now, common, we all know who Johnny is, unless you've been living on Mars for the past 20 years...). Not known much to us English speaking people, she is actually a very talented artist in France.
I was first introduced to her works by my French tutor when I was in the Uni. She had a very unique voice and terribly beautiful. I immediately fell in love with her voice. A few months ago I finally managed to have a copy of her album ' bliss'. There are a few songs in this album that I like, I will introduce them all in the future.
'Firmaman' is both Horatio's and my favourite. It is very cute song, Vanessa and Johnny's daughter, Lily Rose, had her baby voice all over the background. Haha!!!
I think that is why Horatio likes it.
Firmaman
By Vanessa Paradis
De Août à où
La nuit le jour
J'attends j'écoute
Mais coûte que coûte
C'est toi qui descends du firmament
J'ai tout mon temps
'ai peur je doute
Je pleure et je m'embrouille
Mais mon coeur me voue
A être meilleure en tout
Pour toi qui descends du firmament
J'ai 5000 ans
Sous l'ampleur de la voûte
Mon bonheur se camoufle
S'étire et se retourne
Pour l'arrivée du tour
Oui toi qui descends du firmament
Décidément
Si toi tu m'entends, du firmament
Je t'aime tant
English Translation (Don't laugh about my French, I've tried my best)
night and day
I wait I listen
but no matter what it takes
it is you who come down from heaven
I have plenty of time
I'm scared and doubt
I cry and feel lost
But my heart says
I must be the best at everything
For you who is coming down from Heaven
I am 5000 years old
Beneath the wideness of the sky
My happiness is hiding
Stretching and turning upside down
For the coming of the turn
Yes, you who are coming down from Heaven
For sure
If you hear me, from Heaven
I love you so much
