Ensemble – Coeur de pirate. French lyrics and English translation.

I love Coeur de pirate. I saw her perform last summer in Vancouver, and I was worried that she wouldn’t be as good live. Fortunately, she was AMAZING! She sounded great, was very sweet and engaging, and was all around a great entertainer. “Ensemble” (“Together” in English) is another single off her debut album. Lyrics, translation, and video after the jump!

Je veux tout – Ariane Moffatt / French lyrics and English translation

“Je veux tout” is a totally catchy song from Québecois artist Ariane Moffatt. I have her album Tous les sens (downloaded on Canadian iTunes) and I really, really like it. It also won the 2009 Juno award for Francophone album of the year, so the Juno judges clearly liked it as well. For those of you who don’t know, the Juno Awards honour Canadian musicians and other artists in the Canadian music industry.

Any way, to the song. It is great for learning as Ariane sings clearly and slowly. The video, French lyrics, English translation, and an explanation of the vocabulary are all after the jump.

Comme des enfants – Coeur de pirate. French lyrics and English translation.

Coeur de pirate released her debut album recently. She is a young woman from Québec and I am a big fan of her first album. This song has a lot of lyrics, and I had a very hard time understanding it all at first. This is my own translation, but I’ve had some input from others that speak French better than I do. Lyrics, translation, video, and an explanation of the phrases and vocabulary are after the jump.
