Mamzelle - the other version !

[Wopelka]

Ixox made a great song with my lyrics, now here is my own version...

Mamzelle

A lot of things were used for this one... i'll just mention the great Reason's Malström for the lead, at the end...

enjoy !

[Wopelka]

Here are the words:

A sort of English translation is available here:
http://www.kvr-vst.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 6&start=12

Monsieur parcourt sa vie comme un papillon
Il compare les filles à des bulles de savon
Il aime la poésie
Il donne dans le violon
Il allume des bougies dans le creux des jupons

Mamzelle connaît la nuit, elle n'a pas peur du soir
Elle attend ses amis sur le bord des trottoirs
Très vite elle a grandi
A la lumière des phares
Mais seule dans son lit elle refait son histoire

Monsieur n'a plus le sou, il est déjà très tard
Sous prétext' qu'il est soûl on l'a jeté du bar
Ici on veut plus d'vous
Va cuver ton Ricard
C'est pas pa'c'que t'es fou qu'on te laiss'ra peinard

Mamzelle de son côté a le sourire aux lèvres
Ce soir il a neigé sur son horizon mièvre
M'son rêve éclaboussé
S'est fini dans la fièvre
Du sang coul' de son nez et se répand sans trêve

Monsieur s'est allongé dans le jardin public
Le soleil s'est levé sur le képi d'un flic
Montrez moi vos papiers
Espèce d'alcoolique
Mais lui s'est envolé sur son tapis magique

Mamzelle ne bouge plus, elle visit' son cercueil
Où Monsieur s'est rendu pour lui faire un clin d'oeil
C'est vous qu'j'ai attendu
Y a pas d'quoi faire un deuil
Vous êtes mon élu, allumez mon linceul

Ensemble ils vont s'enfuir vers le pays léger
Où fleurissent les lyres et chante le papier
Du monde des satyres
Il seront délivrés
La vraie vie à venir sera félicité

Monsieur parcourt sa vie comme un papillon
Et Mamzelle aujourd'hui est sa bull' de savon
Elle aime la poésie
Il lui joue du violon
Dans ce jour infini où brillent les lampions

I like this, too Wopelka. very much different
to the ixox version.
since I don't have any idea what is being said, both versions stand as completely different tunes.
(I like those dooby dooby doo's)
good tune

[mystahr]

Cooool, a totally different interpretation and approach. I just love the mystic atmosphere of the bubbly background sounds and I can't help wondering if either piece is done around the same Bpm to make a combined remix of "Mamzelle"...

Drums are excellent btw

@ garry

so my translation is such a crap one you still don't see what is being said?

thanks for the good words. cheers

@ mark

how would you do a combined remix? if you want to try this, i'm at your disposal. mine is at exactly 100 bpm.

the mysticall background is a Sytrus trancey patch passing through a bunch of effects, among which stands the heavy flatblaster multiband dynamics from reaktor session.

thanks for the positive feedback - cheers

If it'd had more time right now, I would give it a try. But for now I'll keep it under my hat

[Ixox]

Hey... nice song Philippe !
Nice set of weird sounds...

Beautifull instrumental part from 2'58... Fantastic "Noir désir" feeling...

My wife likes very much your lyrics.
Don't hesitate to send me your next ones...

Noir Désir, my favorite french band...

i thought about them doing the instrumental part you mention...

unfortunately, i don't have Cantat's voice and singing art...

i'll do it, i like very much your interpretations...

oh, your translation was fine! some very creative imagery in it. however, when listening to this and ixox, it still doesn't help me understand what you're saying, although I know the story now. Perhaps after a few more listens I'll be able to discern the same words in both versions.
and I also noticed the same bpm, might there be a remix of sorts in the future?

i don't really see how it would be possible to mix both versions but if you or mystahr are interested in trying a remix of any kind, i am at your disposal.
