It's Frustrating.

When foreign songs get stuck in your head that you really like, but don't understand, mostly. And I hate when the audience sings.

What are you doing listening to foreign songs??? Don't think I've ever had anything like this stuck in my head. Maybe Frere a Jacque :)

Quelqu'un m'a dit (Someone Told Me)
This melancholy song from which the album draws its name speaks of the sadness of life – "On me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose, / Elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses." ("They tell me that our lives are not worth very much, / They pass in an instant as roses wilt.") – and that time and fate (destiny) care nothing for us. She forlornly hopes that "you still love me" – "quelqu'un m'a dit / Que tu m'aimais encore," ("Somebody told me / that you loved me still") – recalling that somebody told her, but she can't remember who.

Only I would do this, huh?

If you are not here
I don't want to be without you
If you're not here I don't need the air
I don't want to be like this
Without you, people become no one

If you're not here I don't know
What the hell I'm doing loving you
If you're not here you will know
That God is not going to understand why you're leaving

I don't want to be without you
If you're not here I lack sleep
I don't want to go on like this
Beating a heart of unowned love

If you're not here I don't know...

I will pur out my dreams if one day I don't have you
The biggest will become the smallest
I'll stroll down a starless sky this time
Attempting to understand who made hell out of paradise
Don't ever leave because

I can't be without you
If you're not here the air burns me

If you're not here I don't know...

If you're not here
