Some Emilie Simon

[petronia]

For canis_m. ^_^ I only have these, but I like them lots. It's like the trip-hop album Annie never made.

Émilie Simon - Desert (Thievery Corporation Mix)

Original texts helpfully provided here.

Desert

Oh mon amour, mon âme soeur
Je compte les jours je compte les heures
Je voudrais te dessiner dans un désert
Le désert de mon coeur

Oh mon amour, ton grain de voix
Fait mon bonheur à chaque pas
Laisse-moi te dessiner dans un désert
Le désert de mon coeur

Dans la nuit parfois, le nez à la fenêtre
Je t'attends et je sombre
Dans un désert, dans mon désert, voilà

Oh mon amour, mon coeur est lourd
Je compte les heures je compte les jours
Je voudrais te dessiner dans un désert
Le désert de mon coeur

Oh mon amour, je passe mon tour
J'ai déserté les alentours
Je te quitte, voilà c'est tout

Dans la nuit parfois, le nez à la fenêtre
J'attendais et je sombre
Jetez au vent mes tristes cendres, voilà


Desert

Oh my love, my kindred soul
I count the days I count the hours
I want to draw you in a desert
The desert of my heart

Oh my love, the timbre of your voice
Makes my happiness at every step
Let me draw you in a desert
The desert of my heart

In the night sometimes, nose pressed to the window
I wait for you and I sink down
Into a desert, in my desert, there

Oh my love, my heart is heavy
I count the hours I count the days
I want to draw you in a desert
The desert of my heart

Oh my love, I let my turn pass
I've abandoned my surroundings
I leave you, that's all

In the night sometimes, nose pressed to the window
I waited and I sink down
Throw my sad ashes to the wind, there


Émilie Simon - Graines d'étoiles (ft. Perry Blake)

Perry Blake is an Irish singer-songwriter who seems to have done everything from folk to trip-hop. That's all I know, though.

Graines d'étoiles

Pour un peu de toi je pars sans hésiter
Tout au bout du monde sur le toit au sommet
Marks your path with scattered seeds beneath the opal stars
Sur ton chemin
But in the crowd there's only one beneath the opal stars
Sur ton chemin
Le long de tes reins

Juste un peu de voix, un souffle pour suggérer
Te laisser imaginer la chute

J'ai parsemé, j'ai déposé, des graines d'étoiles opales
Sur ton chemin
J'ai parsemé, j'ai déposé, des graines d'étoiles opales
Sur ton chemin
Le long de tes reins


Star Seeds

For a little bit of you I leave without hesitation
All the way at the end of the world on the roof at the peak
Marks your path with scattered seeds beneath the opal stars
In your path
But in the crowd there's only one beneath the opal stars
In your path
Along your loins

Just a little bit of voice, a breath to suggest
To let you imagine the fall

I sprinkled, I dropped, seeds of opal stars
In your path
I sprinkled, I dropped, seeds of opal stars
In your path
Along your loins

...Fruit-flavoured, no doubt. (Perhaps I should go look for the CD in stores?)

!! <3 Listening. Liking "Desert." Could do without the Irish bloke on the other. Also thru cosmic coincidence someone on audiography posted some other tracks, but they're .wma files (feh).

Re: CD, you mean for me, or for you? ^^; If for me, it looks like copies of her album and the OMG PENGUINS soundtrack are available from amazon.com sellers at reasonable prices, vs. the insane amazon import prices, so I should be able to get hold of them. Thank you, though. Thank you for translating, too.

There was something else...oh, Bjork. I've only got Debut and Post but will send those if you want them?

[petronia.livejournal.com]

For me, actually. ^^; Upon research methinks I'll like the album.

(I have music to send you. Must get it out this week! Along with the GB 33-41 was it, that I said I'd send you last October but forgot? x_x Did you manage to see more of KKM beyond ep.8 and/or would you like to?)

Bjork: yes please. *_*

[canis-m.livejournal.com]

Ack, I wondered if you meant for you. Pls to forgive dreadful presumption.

Still need GB, and did not get any further with KKM. I would watch if the latter appeared in front of me but do not feel burninating need. Would like more TeniPuri actually, cannot believe I am typing these words. Will load up Bjork and uh assorted world muzik detritus from GyouTai remix.

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, I certainly intended to burn it for you if/when I bought it unless you got it for yourself already - I mean it's not a sure thing that I'd be able/get around to finding/buying it. ^^;

How far along are you in Tenipuri? XD

[canis-m.livejournal.com]

I take it back. Cancel that! There's no need for TeniPuri nanka to hold up the music. XD;
