MYLENE FARMER Love Song with English Words 4.42

  - 4:42

From her album "Interstellaires", Mylene Farmer's rock number- "Love Song", her ode to those who live without Love- translated and subtitled for your listening pleasure. This song by Mylene has never been played live, so i used pics of Mylene from concerts in 1999 for photos, as well as various others from photo shoots. Mylene is unrivaled as a poet of word-play, and this song is basically non-translatable, even though i have tried. In the slow mid-break, she uses the root "Bal", to signify multiple meanings. She is referring to a pendulum- both literally and metaphorically. She is also referring to the judicial symbol (Lady Justice)- which of course implies morality and choices made in life. She is also referring to a social gathering. And finally there is the suggestion of evil, "Baal" being one of the devil's many names. And so for my English equivalencies, i was not able to accurately reflect the complex flow of that part in the same way a French speaker will understand it. But i hope my take flows well for an English speaker all the same. Here are my English equivalencies. LOVE SONG To consumed nights, to the solitary And others from oblivion From one life to the next, no winter that doesn't bleed To love resistance, dissonance To love yourself and be dazzled The swing takes off into the space Love song, love song, love song for those who are left behind Love song, a love song when i see the shadow separate us from the world Pale is the moon, ball of fortune Love song, love song, love song for those who are left behind Love song, a love song when i see the shadow separate us from the world Thank you and i hope you enjoyed this collage. Cheers+T'I's
