Malajube – Ton Plat Favori Lyrics 19 years ago
Here's a translation of the lyrics. This is a very satyrical, yet melancholy song ("How can I say "I love you" in silence?" and "how to describe your amusing face in a single sigh?")

No time to analyse fully right now so here are the translated lyrics

--------------------------

No! You haven't finished your plate
And yet still you eat
You're eating my heart!
You eat more and you pay more
my heart is filled with hate
for you!

Oh! How can I say
I love you in silence?
But you can't say anything

Oh! How can I describe
your amusing face
in a single sigh?

No! You haven't finished your plate
And yet still you eat
You're eating my heart!
You eat more and you pay more
my heart is filled with hate
for you!

I am your favourite dish,
the blood on your knife
And no, you don't understand.

------------------------

Enjoy!

Malajube – Étienne d'Août Lyrics 19 years ago
As I did for Montréal -40, I will translate the lyrics, as this is a beautiful song that I wish more people would hear.

---------------

Because we love
to melt into tears under the sheets
we make love to each other, halfheartedly,
for one last time

But, please,
close the door behind you
and when you come back,
I'll be close to you

If you love me
hold me close in your arms
couldn't we kiss
one last time?

But please,
close the door behind you,
and when you come back
I'll be close to you

(Tell me what you're thinking...)

-------------------

So there you have it, enjoy!

Malajube – Montréal -40 Lyrics 19 years ago
Hey Lost the plot, I like your energy and enthusiasm -- plus I'm excited since I'm seeing Malajube perform tonight -- so I'll translate the lyrics for you properly!

Too poor for pills,
I play the whore yet I suck,
And all these things that I ejaculate,
I'm running against the clock,
I'm running but I'm going backwards

Oh, Montréal, you are so cold,
a polar bear in the bus,
I get rich inspired by the worst,
And I love you so much, I hallucinate

papapapapapadapada

I try to ignore
your arrogance
you keep rhythm
you put me in a trance

papapapapadapada

I have what I deserve
And what pleasure

Your face on my magazine
Your pageant of concubines

Oh Montréal you are so cold,
A polar bear in the bus,
I get rich inspired by the worst
And I love you so much, I hallucinate

The cat snores,
And you talk in your sleep
Yet I,
I can't even shut an eye.

---------------------------

I'm no translator, but I think you'll find that this translation renders best the meaning of the song (if not it's particular rhyme or rhythm).

Enjoy!
