Title: C' est LA VIE ?
Post by: moraamarolaloba on April 29, 2021, 07:13:04 PM
Hola a todos!!!

This song is short although it has a very defined message,  short, direct few words for so many thoughts that lead to the same door ... What is Life? And although I have read infinite explanations, all logical, spiritual and erudite, I wonder...  What would be Life if Time did not exist?
Would She exist without Time?

These last days are being hard, it's something curious because things seem to improve, the vaccines are already between us ... so while I'm lost in my perplexity I made this song without ambition but giving it the importance it has to be The rudder of a broken ship, mine.
I'm not sure of the mix, this time the level of my voice,  something that happens to me very often but... lately, well, the truth is that I'm not sure of anything hahaha

(The English translation under the vid)

Stay safe



Quand la nuit est sombre
il y a plein de fantômes
dans les couloirs
de mon aujourd'hui

et tandis que tu parles
moi je divague

J'ai peur du temps
J' ai peur de son vent
qui efface la mémoire
de la vie des gens. x2

C'est la vie,
c'est la vie
ils disent
c'est le Temps,
c'est le Temps
je dis. x2

j'ai peur ,
j'ai peur
de deveir les débris d'un arbre
ou le bateau coulé
au fond de la mer de l'oubli. x2

Et tandis que tu parles
moi je divague
moi je divague

C'est la vie,
c'est la vie
ils disent
c'est le Temps,
c'est le Temps
je dis


——————



When the night is dark
there are lots of ghosts
in the halls of my today


and while you talk
I am rambling

I'm afraid of time
I'm afraid of its wind
which erases the memory
of people's lives

This is life, this is life
they say
It's Time,
It's Time
I say. X2

I'm scared
to get the debris of a tree
or the ship sunk
in the sea of oblivion x2

And while you talk
I ramble
I ramble

This is life,
this is life
they say
It's Time,
It's Time
I say

A nice song on a philosophical topic. Time & Existence, what's remaining after us, maybe the need to print some creations in some way. Merci pour ce voyage de pensées qui me traverse.

I love French to sing, I find it has smooth words despite its "rrrrrr"
Thank you very much for your comment.

@moraamarolaloba (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=21233) Magic as always. I do like the French vocal and this features your usual, deep,intense and intricate backing with so many original ideas. Nothing not to like. Sublime.

Thanks for the English translation, I don't speak a word French. Can't say I understand much of the English version either but that does not  bother me. The "mystic" lyrics fits the mood of the song perfectly. The track is not exactly catchy but has a very hypnotic effect, I can image listening to it with eyes closed and sort of just drift away. A great listening experience outside of my comfort zone!

Hola @rightly (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20219)
Thank you for your words. I know that lately my lyrics are very short, like an excerpt, but I am unable to put more words than I put today

Stay safe

Very Nice. Interesting textures in the sounds and the overall mood and vibe work really well. Great voice. I enjoyed the video too, nice use of colours and graphics.

@moraamarolaloba (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=21233) Really like this one. Some fantastic lyrics, I particularly love this:

" I'm afraid of time
I'm afraid of its wind
which erases the memory
of people's lives"

It's a beautiful image of how memory fades over time and ultimately, we are all forgotten (and it sounds even better in French). Superb and haunting!

@moraamarolaloba (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=21233),

An audible and visual feast.  I love the instrumentation .  The guitar is so understated yet super slick!  Your accompanying videos are so good!

Very lovely song @moraamarolaloba (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=21233), I especially liked the French vocals which gave a very atmospheric feel to the piece. The intricate and delicate instrumentation was full of interest. So many interesting sounds.

Looking at the translation, the theme is a little sad, but very thought provoking. I enjoyed it, thank you 👍

Yes, the guitars of Marcus Nalgaber are always my inspiration.
