Found this cute melody while I was putting on a CD at the club I work. The ironic is the song is called 'Sympathique' [Je ne veux pas travailler] which  means I don't want to work but I DO hahaha

What a great voice she's got! Dont you think?

♥

Anyway, below is a lyric I found. The translation might look a bit funny as I was using online translation. You're welcomed to correct it! ;-)
Ma chambre a la forme d'une cage                            My room is shaped like a cage
Le soleil passe son bras par la fentre                        The sun passes his arm through the window
Les chasseurs ma porte                                           Hunters my door
Comme les p'**** soldats                                          As the soldiers p'****
Qui veulent me prendre                                             Who want to take me

Je ne veux pas travailler                                            I do not want to work
Je ne veux pas d jeuner                                            I do not want jeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier                                        I just want to forget
Et puis je fume                                                         And then I smoke   Dj j'ai connu le parfum de l'amour                               Dj I knew the scent of love
Un million de roses n'embaumerait pas autant            One million roses n'embaumerait not provided
Maintenant une seule fleur dans mes entourages        Now a single flower in my enclosures
Me rend malade                                                       Makes me sick

Je ne veux pas travailler                                            I do not want to work
Je ne veux pas d jeuner                                            I do not want jeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier                                        I just want to forget
Et puis je fume                                                         And then I smoke

Je ne suis pas fire de a                                             I am not in a fire
Vie qui veut me tuer                                                  Life that wants to kill me
C'est magnifique tre sympathique                               It is wonderful to be sympathetic
Mais je ne le connais jamais                                      But I do not know

Je ne veux pas travailler                                            I do not want to work
Non                                                                         No
Je ne veux pas d jeuner                                            I do not want jeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier                                        I just want to forget
Et puis je fume                                                         And then I smoke

Je ne suis pas fire de a                                            I am not in a fire

Tu parles le francais?

Hi Aphrodite,

Few modifications here:

- Original lyrics

Ma chambre a la forme d'une cage

Le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre

Les chasseurs à ma porte

Comme les p'**** soldats

Qui veulent me prendre

Je ne veux pas travailler

Je ne veux pas déjeuner

Je veux seulement l'oublier

Et puis je fume

Déjà j'ai connu le parfum de l'amour

Un million de roses n'embaumerait pas autant

Maintenant une seule fleur dans mes entourages

Me rend malade

Je ne veux pas travailler

Je ne veux pas déjeuner

Je veux seulement l'oublier

Et puis je fume

Je ne suis pas fière de ça

Vie qui veut me tuer

C'est magnifique être sympathique

Mais je ne le connais jamais

Je ne veux pas travailler

Non

Je ne veux pas déjeuner

Je veux seulement l'oublier

Et puis je fume

Je ne suis pas fière de ça

Vie qui veut me tuer

C'est magnifique être sympathique

Mais je ne le connais jamais

Je ne veux pas travailler

Non

Je ne veux pas déjeuner

Je veux seulement l'oublier

Et puis je fume...

- Translation

My room is shaped like a cage

The sun passes his arm through the window

Hunters my door

Like little soldiers

Want to take me

I do not want to work

I do not want to have lunch

I just want to forget him/her

And then I smoke

I've known the scent of love already

A million roses wouldn't smell that good

Now a single flower around me

Makes me sick

I do not want to work

I do not want to have lunch

I just want to forget him/her

And then I smoke

I am not proud of that

Life that wants to kill me

It is wonderful to be sympathetic

But I'll never know it

I do not want to work

No

I do not want to have lunch

I just want to forget him/her

And then I smoke

Did you get this song for the record 'Hotel Costes, Vol.2' ?

If yes, I strongly recommend that you listen to the track #7 very carefully, as it is a masterpiece from a french DJ/producer named I:Cube. A very talented guy...

By the way, the work of Pink Martini is pretty cool too !

Enjoy da sound and Make it louder !!

Dejeuner = breakfast (dejeuner, diner(lunch), souper(in the evening))

Je ne suis pas fiere de ca = I'm not proud of it

C'est magnifique tres sympathique = it's wonderful very sympathetic

Un million de roses n'embaumerait pas autant provided = A million roses don't embalm as much

Mais c'est tres beau quand-meme :-)

Bravoux!

Neo, don't forget that the accents that they put on certain vowels (to know who to pronounce it) doesn't work on here.

NeoBKK, this site sadly doesn't support accents as I discovered a while ago trying to comunicate whit a member that could read and write in french.

Is the original an Edith Piaf song or the author is someone else?

JeansDenim, tu comprends le francais apparemment ?

anyone here likes "la gadoue" ?

Sorry guys, I didn't know the french accents would not be supported on this site...

riga71: I believe this song has been written by Pink Martini

Aomazon: from Monsieur Serge Gainsbourg ?? Sure I like...

I like Pink Martini... very smart and clever

NeoBKK - You're GOOOOOOOD! Yes I've got this song from "Hotel Costes" not sure what vol it was but it was a cool album! hehehe

I dont like many French songs as I'm really a fan of French ;P Yet, I do have a few favourite songs but thats all.

FYI I cant really understand French, only the famous sentence from the the famous song we've heard a million times To understand whatever you guys commented here, I'd need an online translation and would take me forever to finish reading all hahahaha
