"Je Fais Comme Si"

[ocelot]

Je Fais Comme Si
From the album "Longueur D'Ondes"

Au bout du fil
Ta voix résonne comme du métal
Et sous mes cils
Je sens couler une pluie d’étoiles
Mais je préfère
Que tu n’en saches jamais rien
C’est mon enfer
Alors pour le laisser serein

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Je t’avais raye de ma vie

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Tout allait bien

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Tu n’étais plus qu’un ami

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Tout allait bien

Au bout du fil
Ma voix résonne d’éclats de rire
C’est plus facile
De te sourire que de te maudire
Même si je meurs
De ne jamais rien laisser paraître
C’est ma douleur
Et pour que tu sois
L’homme que tu veux être

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Je t’avais raye de ma vie

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Tout allait bien

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Tu n’étais plus qu’un ami

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Tout allait bien

A bout du fil
Nos voix peut-être un jour seront
Un peu fragiles
Encore empreintes de notre passion
C’est ma torture
De croire que l’amour reviendra
Mais je m’assure
Qu’il n’y ait que moi dans cet état

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Je t’avais raye de ma vie

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Tout allait bien

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Tu n’étais plus qu’un ami

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Tout allait bien

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Je t’avais raye de ma vie

Je fais comme si
Je fais comme si
Tout allait bien

I Do As If

In the end of a boy
Your voice resounds as from the metal
And under my eyelashes
I feel the rain of stars
But I prefer
That you never know nothing
It’s my hell
Then for the serene leaving

I do as if
I do as if
I will have scratched on my life

I do as if
I do as if
All went good

I do as if
I do as if
You no longer will be that friend

I do as if
I do as if
All went good

In the end of a boy
My voice resounds of the brightness of laughter
It’s easier
Of your smile then of your curses
Even if I die
Of never leaving nothing equal
It’s my pain
And for that you are
The man that you want to be

I do as if
I do as if
I will have scratched on my life

I do as if
I do as if
All went good

I do as if
I do as if
You no longer will be that friend

I do as if
I do as if
All went good

In the end of a boy
Our voices may a day will be
A little fragile
Still full of our passion
It’s my torture
Of trust that love will come back
But I insure
That there is only me in this state

I do as if
I do as if
I will have scratched on my life

I do as if
I do as if
All went good

I do as if
I do as if
You no longer will be that friend

I do as if
I do as if
All went good

I do as if
I do as if
I will have scratched on my life

I do as if
I do as if
All went good

Does Natasha write all of her songs?

[ocelot]

The only song that Natasha co-wrote on this album was Ce Silence, but she worked closely with a couple of producers so the songs on "Longueur D'Ondes" are quite personal even though she didn't write them. Asdorve co-wrote and produced most of the tracks on the album and from what I get he wrote most of them from her point of view. With Longueur D'Ondes Natasha made sure the album was much more personal. She described this album as her first album as a woman.

[achebeautiful]

Okay, thank you. I asked for that very reason. The lyrics seem very personal and weave a thread throughout all of your translations. You can tell very much that this album is very close to her. I may struggle with translations a bit, but the "feel" of the lyrics are obvious.
