On ne peut pas se défaire
De l'endroit d'où l'on vient
La mère et l'enfance ne sont jamais très loin
On a laissé les siens si souvent, partir il le faut bien
On apprend à dire "non" un matin
Moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
Je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
C'est bien mieux comme ça
Bâtir des murs autour de soi
Vouloir se protéger du froid
Tout ce temps qui passe on en revient pas
Quels sont ceux à qui je tiens ?
La solitude me va si bien
Mais si jamais l'amour s'en vient ça m'va
Moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
Je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
Je me fous des petits malheurs
Je m'en fous, c'est bien mieux comme ça

Very, very good methinks.
Je tente une traduction qui me paraît mieux correspondre :
We can't get rid of where we come from
Mother and child[hood?] are never very far away
We have left our loved ones so often, to leave, we have to
We learn to say "no" one morning
I smile at the little joys
I smile, it's much better that way
It's much better that way
Building walls around yourself
Wanting to protect yourself from the cold
All this time that passes, we never come back
Who are the ones I care about?
Loneliness suits me so well
But if love ever comes, that's fine with me
I smile at the little joys
I smile, it's much better that way
I don't care about little woes
I don't care, it's much better that way
We can't get rid of where we come from

Is that Madeleine Peyroux I hear in uncharacteristically upbeat mood? No, it's an Algerian-French artist I've never heard before. Love when that happens. Thank you RP! I'll now explore Soha's back catalog for more such gems.
You can't get rid of
From the place where you come from
Mother and childhood are never far away
We've left our own so many times, we have to leave
You learn to say "no" one morning
I smile at the little pleasures
I smile, it's much better that way
It's much better this way
Building walls around you
I'm not sure what to do, I'm not sure what to do
All this time that goes by, we can't believe it
Who do I care about?
Loneliness suits me so well
But if love ever comes I'm okay with it
I'm smiling at the little joys
I smile, it's much better that way
I don't care about little misfortunes
I don't care, it's much better that way
From the place where you come from

Anyone else hearing Amy Winehouse in here? (You Know I'm No Good)
I like having the foreign language lyrics here so I can follow along at home.
Man I'm getting sick of the too-oft repeated "dah-dah-dah-dah-da" sequence...

Nice song. I’m learning French, so I put some of these lyrics into my flash card deck. 
The Wikipedia article for this connects to a village in Pakistan, not the artist .

Well, the hook translates roughly to "I don't give a f**k... it's just better that way". If that helps. In the ears of the beholder I guess, but I understand the last verse as

Love her voice, reminds me of Madeline Peyroux.
Some information about her would be great. Anyone..?
Failing that, at least take down the town in Pakistan; you've got the wrong dame.

What's with the Wikipedia re: Soha. From http://artistwiki.com/soha...Originating from Western Sahara in Algeria, growing up in a multi-cultural environment, Soha blends a variety of styles in her work. Mixing musical traditions from around the world, the prominent Cuban, Latin, jazz and soul influences, Soha gives an appealing vivacity to her sound.
Soha, a French vocalist of Algerian descent, incorporates reggae, Latin, Algerian, and Jazz - she truly is a girl of her time, knowing no boundaries other than the limit of her imagination. The result is a fantastic album that feels so much more than just the sum of these parts. There is no sense of trying items from a shopping list on for size - instead she has incorporated these influences into her soul and her music is a natural expression of this. Like all gifted musicians, Soha has assimilated a diverse range of influences but comes out the other side sounding wholly original.

It's not because she sings in french that she's a Piaf ripoff, afterall it's her native language, she's good enough in her own right.

Don't know what she's saying but me like very much.

Wonderful.
WAY too much airplay here, seems like I hear it everyday, its starting to get annoying. Sorry.
Me, I smile at the little joys . I smile, it is really better that way
Same chord progression and even riff as "I'm No Good" by Amy Winehouse. I like it.
I think it might be an accordian jamming out at the end and I dig it.
It's really better that way...

Do you feel the same way about Boston accents? Long Island accents? Brit/Aussie? South African? Accents from my beloved South Carolina?
And, good sir/ma'am, her voice has plenty of energy, it's just the "simmering beneath the surface" kind of energy that took me years to recognize. Glad I finally did, though!
Same here, the accent is also something I can't get over in this case. And the lack of energy in the voice, I just feel like shaking her to wake up ^^

Gawd I can't stand this song. It sounds like she's making up words in French even though I know she's not. Maybe it's the accent? Not sure but....

thx kitten, I'm digging it..
This is a very good album. I highly recommend it.
I like it, more and more, and I appreciate the ironic lyrics...haunting, sexy, addictive...strongly evocative of all that is Romance, to be sure!

It depends how polite you want to be. It could vary from "Joue quelque chose d'autre" to "Assez de cette marde!". Ok tune in my opinion, even tough her voice is delicious.

Yes, sure, music is nice, remind you of a caribbean trip or a night at Cabo Verde but....have you seen the girl?
I can must give her a 10

I'm normally wary of songs with accordions and/or bagpipes because it reminds me of my idea of what the ninth circle of Hell would be like. But this is actually nice.

Now, based on the beautiful girl, the sultry voice, the sway in the song, I get two completely different mental pictures. Both of which are not allowed on this website. Love the song for that.
Don't want to know what the lyrics actually say. Hell, it could be a discussion about how to clean windows.
