What in the world is the girl in this song saying in French during the song...French peeps.???

Girls and boys!

He only knew her 4 a little while,
but he had grown accustomed 2 her style
She had the cutest ass he'd ever seen
He did 2, they were meant 2 be
They loved 2 kiss on the steps of Versailles
It looked like rain, mama, birds do fly
I love u baby, I love u so much,
maybe we can stay in touch
Meet me in another world, space and joy,
vous etes tres belle, mama, girls and boys

He gave her all the love that anyone can,
but she was promised 2 another man
He tried so hard not 2 go insane
Birds do fly, looks like rain
I love u baby, I love u so much,
Maybe we can stay in touch
Meet me in another world, space and joy,
vous etes tres belle, mama, girls and boys

Life is precious baby, love is so rare
I can take the breakup if u say that u care
He had 2 run away, his pride was 2 strong
It started raining, baby, the birds were gone
(I love u baby, I love u so much)
Maybe (Maybe we can stay in touch)
Meet me in another world (Meet me in another world, space and joy)
vous etes tres belle (vous etes tres belle, mama)
girls and boys (girls and boys)

(I love u baby, I love u so much)
I want u, babe (Maybe we can stay in touch)
Maybe we can play today (Meet me in another world, space and joy)
vous etes tres belle (vous etes tres belle, mama)
girls and boys (girls and boys)

i got it from leoslyrics.com


and i love this song for obvious reasons!

she essentially says what Prince says later in the song:

"so it's like I saw you from across the room.."


You really don't want more info than that, do you???

mltijchr said:

no this was good thanx

ok so i gave too much info then ...sorry

Thanks to msserendipity for finding & posting the lyrics..


This is the "standard" translation to the song, which, as I said, is basically the same thing as what P says later in the song.


A few MINOR errors in the translation, essentially because sometimes it's difficult to "translate" the context:


Vous etiez de l'autre cote de la salle
{U were on the other end of the ROOM
Vous dansiez si fort
{U were dancing so HARD
Je sentais votre parfum
{I could smell your perfume}
Votre sourire me dit que nous devrions nous parler
{Your smile TELLS me we should talk}
Sexe et repos
{Sex and rest}
Baby
Je sais que vous aimerez ca
{I know U'll like that}
Vous n'y resisterez pas
{U won't resist IT}
Baby
Je vous enlacerai avec mes jambes
{I'll wrap my legs around U}
Baby
Pendant des heures je vais vous etonner
{I'll amaze you for hours
(well, that's how I translate it)
Baby
Faire l'amour Faire l'amour
{MakING love makING love}
(the infinitive form of French verbs can be used as
gerunds in English, e.g.
LIRE un bouquin = reading a book, etc.)
Nous nous rencontrerons
{We'll meet}


French seduction, indeed!
