HI
JUST TO TELL YOU A DO SPEAK FRENCH AND FLUENTLY.
Re: Do You Speak French Fluently? by WesleyanA(f): 6:25pm On Jun 09, 2007
hey!


once you're really familiar with the song and have practiced singing along with the lyrics several times, you'll get better.
just listen to the song several times each day until the 23rd.

I don't speak French but i've memorized a couple of french songs and in the process of learning one right now (i love francophone songs)
is the song slow or fast paced? slow is easier, fast paced/rap will take longer to learn.

it'll seem impossible at first but with practice, you'll get really good at it and after your first song, you'll want to learn more. smiley

bon chance.


MP007:

french in the us? nah! spanish is way better,,,don't knwo about yall

depends on what interests the individual.

Ntre [b]amour ests plus profound quue lavie et plus beau que d'or et d'arqent"

it should read:

Notre amour est plus profound que la vie et plus beau que d'or et d'argent.

translation:
our love is more profound than life and more beautiful than gold or money.
Re: Do You Speak French Fluently? by WesleyanA(f): 9:50pm On Jun 10, 2007
@wesley its slow but lack of proper lyric could be a pain can you give me a couple of easy ones that i can learn merci très beaucoup mes amis

do you know the tune to the song?
can you sing the tune? you should be really familiar with the song before starting to practice the lyrics. but it helps to look at the lyrics sometimes when you listen to the song.

i won't advice you to look for a new song. stick to the one you have because you're already familiar with it and you only have 13 days left.

Texte :

une larme,une perle si fragile
illumine telle une étoile,
cette image en mon ame qui
scintille,éclaire un amour de
mille flammes.
mon esprit,mes sentiments lui appartenaient,je le clame.
Que ma vie,mes rêves,mes songes, sans elle périraient

refrain:
mais au septième ciel,cette étincelle, vision d'amour remplie d'espoir
c'était à mes yeux,une merveille,ma douceur de miel
elle a brisé ma vie mon coeur
mais je veux y croire
je pense l'aimer encore

mon coeur saigne du mal qu'elle m'a fait, vole en éclats.
que la mort guide mon destin a travers les cieux.
je ne peut l'oublier je ne fait que rever, lui faire l'amour.
cette secrete alliance detruite par les dieux.
mon esprit mes sentiments lui appartenaient je le clame.
que ma vie mes rêves mes songes sans elle periraient

refrain

oh!gardien du temple des anges je t'en suplie.
donne la clé de mes souffrances.
oh! seigneur de la vie je t'en prie.
je t'implore mes louanges
une sensation étrange m'a fait don d'une magie.
la clé c'est celle d'accepter l'eternelle destinée

refrain(x2)

Re: Do You Speak French Fluently? by adewaleafolabi(m): 11:23pm On Jun 10, 2007
that was the same lyric i got i'll give it a shot again. thanks
Re: Do You Speak French Fluently? by WesleyanA(f): 11:39pm On Jun 10, 2007
no, you'll have to give it a shot several times.

practice makes perfect. lol
10x a day or more everyday till the 23rd and you'll be fine.

goodluck. i don't know what the lyrics mean but it seems like a really good song. good luck at your performance.
Re: Do You Speak French Fluently? by adewaleafolabi(m): 11:14am On Jun 11, 2007
i think i won't be performing after all. But that doesn't stop me from learning the song. i've learnt like the 1st five lines
Re: Do You Speak French Fluently? by WesleyanA(f): 6:07am On Jun 12, 2007
cheesy cheesy

I'm proud of you. It's okay if you don't perform though. but if you get about learning the rest of the song before the 23rd, that'll be awesome too.

i think i'll learn it too, just for fun. i like the lyrics.
Re: Do You Speak French Fluently? by drrionelli(m): 6:20pm On Jun 12, 2007
There seems to be some "short-hand" in this, but I'll give it a shot:

Ntre amour ests plus profound quue lavie et plus beau que d'or et d'arqent"

What this translates to is:

Our love is more profound than life, and more beautiful than gold or silver.

I hope that helps. grin

Maybe you can help me with a translation from Igbo to English. What does the phrase "okenye aruru'ala" mean?
Re: Do You Speak French Fluently? by drrionelli(m): 6:36pm On Jun 12, 2007
@WesleyanA:

My apologies for essentially reposting your translation.  I failed to notice it as I scanned through the thread!  Please excuse my redundancy.
