Here's the thing: I'm a dumb American who slept through French class and has been known to pronounce the "S" in "vous". So, if you speak French, and you just know you could translate this more accurately, more eloquently, and all-around better -- and I've no doubt, just about anyone could do a better job than I've done here <g> -- then, please, email me. :)
Special thanks to Babelfish, Travlang's French-English + English/French Dictionaries, Neil Coffey's French/English + English/French Dictionaries, Robin Wessel's lovely Sophie B. Hawkins lyrics page, and my memory. Thanks, Memory!
Lyrics ©Sophie B. Hawkins; this song is available on her (awesome) Whaler album. You can find the original French 'n English lyrics here.
Baby, I dreamed of you last night
It was a lovely dream all right
I wish that this one could come true
'Cause it was made
for me and you
So I'm a Scorpio and Scorpios know what is soon to come
How can I help
who I am
It's the truth, I'm no lamb
But I won't do you no harm
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up (hmmm)
Remember the night we played
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up
For me, it was true happiness
And it could only be shared by us two
Like a song
I miss you, I miss you, you make me shiver
Don't be long, I need you
Enchantée, c'est Paris space space
<---- not translated, since they were put in as playful, "the French that
even non-speakers generally know" lyrics... but for the curious:
"Enchanted", "It's Paris", "Goodbye!", "Hey, that's life."
Au revoir, c'est la vie
But I won't let go of you
(Ah, gently, yes)
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up
(Right here)
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up
(Please)
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up
(Ahh, my French heart) space space
<---- I wonder if it's actually, "I love French", "I love the French",
or perhaps even, "my French love"...?
I don't care (it's good, yes, good)
All is right in love and war (oooh)
How can we speak of love that runs so deep (yes good)
Sssh (ooh, love) secretly
(Ah, gently, yes)
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up
(Right here)
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up
(Well, I am hot)
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up
J evoudrais la rose space space
<---- translates literally into "I like the pink." That could
be REALLY sweet and/or REALLY dirty. <g>
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up
(Hmmm, I'm open)
Let me love let me love let me love let me love you up
(Aah, my French heart)
