channeling...

[jawnbc]

"Dans un grand jardin enchanté
Tout à coup je me suis retrouvée
Une harpe des violons jouaient
Des anges au ciel me souriaient
Le vent faisait chanter l'été

Je marchais d'un pas si léger
Sur un tapis aux pétales de roses
Une colombe sur mon épaule
Dans chaque main une hirondelle
Des papillons couleurs pastel

Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Mais si beau qu'il était vrai
Comme un jour qui se lève
Ce n'était qu'un rêve
Un sourire sur mes lèvres
Un sourire que j'ai gardé
Au-delà de mon rêve"

Run it through Babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com). Not a great translation but it gets the gist across.

Pretty lyrics.

Much to my inner indie-rocker's horror, I'm starting to think I should try listening to some of her French-language recordings.

Thank you from someone who hasn't dealt with French since 12th grade.

Some of the scenery made me think of our farm. My son's been taking great pics lately and I've been putting them up at Yahoo, in the briefcase at my profile. It's made me realize how beautiful it is here.

well she was 11, she didn't know any better...it's the only song she's ever co-written. With her Mum and brother.

You Merikun heathen! OK, here's a bit...

"In a magic garden
Where I find myself once again
A quartet of vioins play
Angels in heaven smile upon me
The wind sings "summer"

I walked with a light step
On a carpet of rose petals
A dove on my shoulder
In each hand a swallow
And pastel-coloured butterflies

But...it was only a dream
Only a dream
But so beautiful were it true
Like the rise of the day.
It was only a dream
A smile on my lips
A smile that I guarded
Beyond my dreams...

But I posted this one sorta as a joke. It's her first hit in Québec, when she was 11 or 12. I like the song but it's kinda pop pablum...

I would be heartbroken if you chose this song as your intro to her French stuff. STOP!!!!

Instead get either:

"D'eux" released in the US as "The French Album". Or
"Dion Chante Plamandon" also released as "Des Mots Qui Sonnent"

Both are more sophisticated than her teen queen stuff...

Vas-y donc!
