today's singer is the most lovely coeur de pirate (aka, béatrice martin), a french-canadian singer-songwriter who almost exclusively sings in french. she plays the piano (and, as documented, i love me the piano music!) and has a sweet voice that enchants.
the song i'm sharing today, comme des enfants, is wonderful. it's got an artsy, sweet video (see below) and an intriguing story about a girl, despite being in a relationship, who falls for her good friend. i love her chorus: "and he loves me, and i love you just a little bit more."
here's a rough translation (again, not done by me!). want to see the original french lyrics? go HERE to do so.
so you see how it all gets mixed up
and from your heart to your lips, i become a headache
you laugh calls out to me to let you go
before losing control and giving up
‘cause i will never ask you for so much
especially since you already treat me like a child
we no longer have anything left to lose
other than our lives that we left behind
and he still loves me, and i love you just a little bit more
but he still loves me, and i love you just a little but more
that’s enough of this two-timing
it’s harder to do than any other way
‘cause joking aside, it’s easier to dream
about what we can never touch again
we take each other’s hands a little artlessly
like children with happiness on our lips
and we walk together with a resolute step
whereas our heads are telling us to stop everything
and he still loves me, and i love you just a little bit more
but he still loves me, and i love you just a little but more
and despite this, he still loves me, and i love you just a little bit more
but he still loves me, and i love you just a little but more
