Hey :) I want to show you the lyrics of a french song that I have translated for you. The name of the song is Secondaire (it means High School) by the Quebec band Loco Locass. This is my favorite band and this song is one of my favorite for her meaning and her inspiring lyrics. I hope you will like it!

 
High School
 
Some time ago,
After my last move,
I looked through my yearbook
 I saw little bums trying to define themselves
Like shining sketchs of hope
We all had ugly hairstyles
But sincere smiles
Do you remember this time?
It did not start very well

The first day of high school,
During the lunchtime
As an initiation
A moron dropped my pants
To my ankles
Before the girls
Who saw that I was not a stallion
It did not take long for them to ignore me
I looked like a peasant before a king
My first impression, my entry,
I wasn't really cool, I had failed everything
Because of the cotton boxers

My high school
It would be 5 years of ordeal, single
Since this time, I swear
Every day, I put my belt

5 years of hell in high school
We should not worry, it's ephemeral
But as Mister Moliere said,
What were we doing in this galley?
For those who think the soup is bitter
The dessert will be sweeter
Finally, my dear brothers and sisters,
High school is secondary

High School for me was the crossing of the desert
Desire was green but I didn't know how to do
I was clumsy, I was uncomfortable
It was unhealthy, my soul was hurting
But I don't blame those who didn't like me
Look, I was really gawky
Not bastard or asocial
But a very ordinary boy

With my mustache of duvet
And my little pimples on the forehead
I had to walk along the lockers and keep the eyes down
Because I didn't accept to be me
I had to show off to impress the girls
I did breakdance
It worked more or less…
more less than more, less more than less
Do you know what I mean?

You already know that I was the best in french class,
But what was the use
If I can't even tell someone ''Hello''?
To be a genius at school, it doesn't help you to have fun
There was not a class for social life
I was a duffer with people

5 years of hell in high school
We should not worry, it's ephemeral
But as Mister Moliere said,
What were we doing in this galley?
For those who think the soup is bitter
The dessert will be sweeter
Finally, my dear brothers and sisters,
High school is secondary

Over the pages, I see again all those faces
This is my youth that I stare to
What happened to these young people?
Who is in homeless? Who is missing?
I have surely seen them but I did not recognize them
Some have gone further but did not return
Some have began with difficulty but succeeded

Next to my picture, each of my friends
wrote me a note
''Good luck in university, good luck in your life,
you will always be my best friend''
''Hi, you didn't give your place
it would be nice to meet again''
''I love what you write, you should publish,
p.s. I was always looking at you in chemistry class''

I vaguely remember this Vietnamese
Always in his own corner, discrete, smiling
I never talked to him in 5 years
but this guy was amazing
He took 6 months to learn our language
I should have understand and broke the ice
Of isolation of the new immigrants
He didn't find someone to write about him
So he himself signed the note that describes him
He had no friends except his sister
He was a roch through our sieve

5 years of hell in high school
We should not worry, it's ephemeral
But as Mister Moliere said,
What were we doing in this galley?
For those who think the soup is bitter
The dessert will be sweeter
Finally, my dear brothers and sisters,
High school is secondary

5 years of hell in high school
We should not worry, it's ephemeral
But as Mister Moliere said,
What were we doing in this galley?
For those who think the soup is bitter
The dessert will be sweeter
Finally, my dear brothers and sisters,
High school is secondary

I want to show you the lyrics of a french song (from Quebec) that I really like, named ''Viens Donc M'voir'' by the band La Chicane. It's about a man who is trying to comfort his friend because his girlfriend broke up with him. I find this song really comforting and it makes me feel good :) I translated the lyrics for you. I dedicate this song to those who have a broken heart... It will get better xox

La Chicane

Come See Me
 
Come see me
We won't talk about it
You sleep in your car
Since last night
 
 
 Come see me
Because I understand you
Because it happened to me
Not so long ago
 
 
 Come see me
Just to pretend
To be the best,
To be on top of things
Come see me meanwhile
Come see me meanwhile
 
 
 Come see me
I won't even listen to you
When you will tell me all your fears
When you will tell me that it doesn't even bother you
That you're already ready to get involved elsewhere
Come see me just to be here
To think about something else
We will pretend that everything is perfect
Come see me
To pass the time
Come see me meanwhile
 
 
 Now you will tell me
By looking at me in the eyes
That she can go to hell
That she can do what she wants to do
That she can go back to her ex-boyfriends
It won't kill you
It takes you more than that       
To prevent you from sleeping
That you're still in the game
That you're still all the rage
That there are still girls that spot you
When you go to the bars
That she was never happy
That she didn't have big boobs
That they are all the same
And that you're not too old
And that was the best thing for you
 
 
 Come see me just to be here
To think about something else
We will pretend that everything is perfect
Come see me because I'm your friend
Come tell me all your lies
I won't believe you anyway
When you will tell me
That you're over it...
