| Voilà , je regarde les autres Pourtant je ne leur... | | Source language: French
Voilà , je regarde les autres
Pourtant je ne leur trouve rien
C'est comme ça
Voilà , je vais avec les autres
Le temps passe plus mal que bien
C'est comme ça
Et toi?
Que fais-tu?
Es-tu content de tout?
Je suis là , devant toi, toujours la même
Tu le vois, c'est encore toi que j'aime
Que j'aime, que j'aime, que j'aime
Tu t'en vas et plus rien ne vaut la peine
Oh! Pourquoi ne puis-je pas crier:
Je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime | Remarks about the translation | Title of the song is "Voilà ", the link in the discussion area is a Youtube one, singer is Françoise Hardy, but it is not told who wrote the lyrics. |

Translated by  jeko | Target language: English
Voila, I watch the others
Yet I don't find anything special in them
It's like that
Voila, I go with the others
Time passes by rather badly than well
It's like that
And you?
What are you doing?
Are you happy with everything?
I'm here, before you, always the same
As you see, you are still the one that I love
That I love, that I love, that I love
You're leaving and nothing is worth anymore
Oh! Why can't I shout:
I love you, I love you, I love you | Remarks about the translation | "Voilà " can be translated "Here" and "That's it", but I think voilà is understandable by English speakers and represent more the mix between "Here" and "That's it" that the singer want to express. |

"You can see it, it's still you I love".
I may be wrong but I feel it this way.

12 April 2010 19:31 | | | Hello, My meak suggestions: 1) "looking at others" = "watching the others"; 2) "however" = "yet"; 3) "time passes by more badly..." = "time passes rather painfully than well"; 4) "still the same" = "always the same"; 5) "you still are the one that..." = "you are the one that I love still"; 6) "and nothing is worth it..." = and nothing is worth (the bother) anymore; Interesting choice of keeping "voila" in English.  | | |

I've made a few adjustments taking your suggestions into account.
Could you check them and tell me if you agree?
Thanks CC: Tzicu-Sem gamine | | |

12 April 2010 20:12 | | | Done! | | |
12 April 2010 21:58 | | | Instead using "Before you" (in french "devant toi = "before you" in english) try to say "in front". | | |

13 April 2010 02:02 | | | I think the text is neither referring to a position (in front of you) nor to a feeling (facing you). I think it means: "in your presence", therefore "before you" is fine. .
Do you all agree?
