Sunday Songs

I've only done this post once before. I guess it's not often that I find a song that I madly enjoy and want to share it. This particular song is another french song called Je Veux by Zaz. It has quite a jazzy vibe to it. It's just really fun and makes you want to dance and sing a long. I put the french and english translation below as well so you can follow along. I hope it brightens up your Sunday, enjoy!
(please excuse the corresponding lyrics not matching up exactly, the OCD in me tried very hard to get them to align but alas it refused to budge)



Je Veux
I want
Donnez-moi une suite au Ritz, je n’en veux pas

Des bijoux de chez Chanel, je n’en veux pas

Donnez-moi une limousine, j’en ferais quoi?

Offrez-moi du personnel, j’en ferais quoi?

Un manoir à Neufchatel, ce n’est pas pour moi!

Offrez-moi la Tour Eiffel, j’en ferais quoi?
Je veux de l’amour, de la joie, de la bonne humeur

Ce n’est pas votre argent qui fera mon bonheur

Moi je veux crever la main sur le coeur

Allons ensemble, découvrir ma liberté

Oubliez donc tous vos clichés

Bienvenue dans ma réalité!
J’en ai marre de vos bonnes manières, c’est trop pour moi

Moi je mange avec les mains et je suis comme ça

Je parle fort et je suis franche, excusez-moi!

Finie l’hypocrisie, moi je me casse de là

J’en ai marre des langues de bois

Regardez-moi, de toute manière je vous  en veux pas

Et je suis comme ça!
Je veux de l’amour, de la joie, de la bonne humeur

Ce n’est pas votre argent qui fera mon bonheur

Moi je veux crever la main sur le Coeur

Allons ensemble, découvrir ma liberté

Oubliez donc tous vos clichés

Bienvenue dans ma réalité!
Give me a suite at the Ritz, I don’t want that

Jewellery by Channel, I don’t want that

Give me a limo, what would I do with it?

Give me staff, what would I do with them?

A mansion in Neufchatel, it’s not for me!

Offer me the Eiffel tower, what would I do with it?

I want love, joy, good spirit

It’s not your money that will make me happy
I
 want to die with my hand on my heart

Let’s go together, discover my freedom

Therefore, forget all your prejudices 

Welcome to my reality!

I’m fed up with your good manners, it’s too much for me

I eat with my hands, it’s just who I am

I speak loud and I’m direct, excuse me

No more hypocrisy, I’m done with it

I’m fed up with double talk!

Look at me, I’m not even angry with you!

It’s just who I am!

I want love, joy, good spirit

It’s not your money that will make me happy

I want to die with my hand on my heart

Let’s go together, discover my freedom

Forget all your prejudice

Welcome to my reality!

  1. I really enjoyed this song as I love listening to French music. And sometimes it's hard to find a good one like this. Thanks Sohini and will look forward to many more Sunday songs on your blog:)
