Zaz - Je veux

A lot of teachers seemed to like my last post, so here is another song by Zaz. Students listen and translate the lyrics. Best done in class, of course, otherwise the temptation to cheat may be too strong. These are extremely quick to prepare with the help of Google Translate or Deepl.

Give me a suite at the Ritz, I don't want one!

Jewelry from Chanel, I don't want any!

Give me a limo, what will I do, papalapapapala

Offer me staff, what would I do with them?

A mansion in Neufchâtel is not for me

Give me the Eiffel Tower, what will I do with it, papalapapapala

I want love, joy, to feel happy

It's not your money that will make me happy

I want to put my hand on my heart, papalapapapala

Let's go together, discover my freedom

So forget all your c,ichés, welcome to my reality

I'm sick of your good manners, it's too much for me!

I eat with my hands and I'm like that!

I speak loudly and I say what I think. Sorry!

No more hypocrisy, I'm out of here

I'm sick of waffle

Look at me, nothing against you, that’s how I am
