Little French Songs

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy (born Carla Gilberta Bruni Tedeschi, December 23, 1967 in Turin, Italy) is an Italian-born, naturalized French songwriter, singer, former model and the spouse of the president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy.   At the age of 5, her family left for Paris. When she was 19, she decided to stop studying art and architecture, to become a full-time model.  She was a very successful fashion model until 1998. Since then she has devoted herself to chanson. Her debut album, Quelqu'un M'a Dit, on which she sings in French (despite her Italian origin), was released in 2002.

On dit que le destin
Se moque bien de nous
Qu'il ne nous donne rien 
Et qu'il nous promet tout
Parait que le bonheur 
Est à portée de main
Alors on tend la main 
Et on se retrouve fou

Pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit 
Que tu m'aimais encore
C'est quelqu'un qui m'a dit 
Que tu m'aimais encore
Serait-ce possible alors ?

Mais qui est-ce qui m'a dit
Que toujours tu m'aimais
je ne me souviens plus
C'était tard dans la nuit
J'entends encore la voix
Mais je ne vois plus les traits
Il vous aime, c'est secret
Ne dites pas qu' j' vous l'ai dit

Tu vois quelqu'un m'a dit 
que tu m'aimais encore
Me l?a-t-on vraiment dit 
Que tu m'aimais encore
Serait-ce possible alors ?

On me dit que nos vies
Ne valent pas grand chose
Elles passent en un instant 
Comme fanent les roses
On me dit que le temps 
Qui glisse est un salaud
Que de nos tristesses 
Il s'en fait des manteaux

Pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit 
que tu m'aimais encore
C'est quelqu'un qui m'a dit 
que tu m'aimais encore
serait-ce possible alors ?

J'aime les notes au goût de miel
Dans le prénom de Raphaël
Je les murmure à mon réveil
Entre les plumes du sommeil


Et pour que la journée soit belle
Je me parfume à Raphaël
Peau de chagrin, peintre éternel
Archange étrange d'un autre ciel


Pas de délice, pas d'étincelle
Pas de malice en Raphaël
Les jours sans lui deviennent ennui
Et mes nuits s'ennuient de plus belle


Pas d'inquiétude, pas de prélude
Pas de promesse à l'éternel
Juste le monde en notre lit
Juste nos vies en arc-en-ciel


Raphaël a l'air d'un sage
Et ses paroles sont de velours
De sa voix grave et de son regard sans détours
Quand il raconte, quand il invente
Je peux l'écouter nuit et jour


Quatre consonnes et trois voyelles
C'est le prénom de Raphaël
Je le murmure à mon oreille
Ça le fait rire comme un soleil.

I loved them until they loved me. 

Decked in garments of sable hue, 
Daubed with ashes of myriad Lents, 
Wearing shower bouquets of rue, 
Walk I ever in penitence. 
Oft I roam, as my heart repents, 
Through God's acre of memory, 
Marking stones, in my reverence, 
"I loved them until they loved me." 

Pictures pass me in long review,-- 
Marching columns of dead events. 
I was tender, and, often, true; 
Ever a prey to coincidence. 
Always knew I the consequence; 
Always saw what the end would be. 
We're as Nature has made us -- hence 
I loved them until they loved me. 

Princes, never I'd give offense, 
Won't you think of me tenderly? 
Here's my strength and my weakness, gents - 
I loved them until they loved me.

Ballad At Thirty-five

G D G
1.L'amour, hum.. pas pour moi
B7 Em
Tous ces toujours, c'est pas net, ça joue des tours
C D G B7
Ca s'approche sans se montrer comme un traitre de velours
C D G
Ce me blesse ou me lasse selon les jours


2.L'amour, hum... ça vaut rien
Ca m'inquitete de tout et ca se déguise en doux
Quand ça gronde, quand ca me mord
Alors c'est pire que tout car j'en veux... hum, plus encore

Refrain
B7 Em C
A quoi bon ce tas de regards de plaisirs de tendresse
G
Et de pauvres promesses ?
B7 Em C
Pourquoi faire se laisser reprendre et la lutte et la chute
D
Et ne plus rien comprendre ? c'est une embuscade...


3.L'amour, hum.. ca me va pas
C'est pas du saint laurent, ça me tombe pas parfaitement
Si je ne trouve pas mon style ce n'est pas faute d'essayer
Et l'amour, hum... je laisse tomber

Refrain

A quoi bon ce tas de paroles et de vers et de prose
Et pour si peu de choses ?
Pourquoi faire se laisser reprendre le coeur en chamade
Et ne rien y comprendre, c'est une embuscade...


4.L'amour, hum... j'en veux pas
Je préfère les temps en temps, je préfère le gout du vent
Ou le gout étrange et doux de la peau de mes amants
Mais l'amour....hum, pas vraiment

into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C

        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am

         Dm

    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm

Better on my own

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around
                                                Fm

                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A

And you don't ask for me to change

N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change



[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A

(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike

But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
