Allez venez, Milord
Vous asseoir à ma table
Il fait si froid dehors
Ici, c'est confortable
Laissez-vous faire, Milord
Et prenez bien vos aises
Vos peines sur mon cœur
Et vos pieds sur une chaise
Je vous connais, Milord
Vous ne m'avez jamais vue
Je ne suis qu'une fille du port
Une ombre de la rue

Pourtant, je vous ai frôlé
Quand vous passiez hier
Vous n'étiez pas peu fier
Dame, le ciel vous comblait
Votre foulard de soie
Flottant sur vos épaules
Vous aviez le beau rôle
On aurait dit le roi
Vous marchiez en vainqueur
Au bras d'une demoiselle
Mon Dieu, qu'elle était belle
J'en ai froid dans le cœur

Allez venez, Milord
Vous asseoir à ma table
Il fait si froid dehors
Ici, c'est confortable
Laissez-vous faire, Milord
Et prenez bien vos aises
Vos peines sur mon cœur
Et vos pieds sur une chaise
Je vous connais, Milord
Vous ne m'avez jamais vue
Je ne suis qu'une fille du port
Une ombre de la rue

Dire qu'il suffit parfois
Qu'il y ait un navire
Pour que tout se déchire
Quand le navire s'en va
Il emmenait avec lui
La douce aux yeux si tendres
Qui n'a pas su comprendre
Qu'elle brisait votre vie
L'amour, ça fait pleurer
Comme quoi l'existence
Ça vous donne toutes les chances
Pour les reprendre après

Allez venez, Milord
Vous avez l'air d'un môme
Laissez-vous faire, Milord
Venez dans mon royaume
Je soigne les remords
Je chante la romance
Je chante les milords
Qui n'ont pas eu de chance
Regardez-moi, Milord
Vous ne m'avez jamais vue
Mais vous pleurez, Milord
Ça, je l'aurais jamais cru

Eh, bien voyons, Milord
Souriez-moi, Milord
Mieux que ça
Un petit effort
Voilà, c'est ça!
Allez riez, Milord
Allez chantez, Milord
Ta da da da da da
Ta da da da da da
Ta da da da da da
Ta da da da da da
Ta da da da da da
Mais oui, dansez, Milord
Pa da da da da da
Ta da da da da da
Ta da da da da da
Bravo, Milord
Pa da da da da da
Ta da da da da da
Ta da da da da da
Encore, Milord
Pa da da da da da
Ta da da da da da
Ta da da da da da
Pa da da dam pa da
Pa da da da da da
Ta da da da da da
Ta da da da da da

    Note:

    "Vous avez l'air d'un môme!" (You have the air of a kid!)

    Here, there's a double meaning involved.

    Air is often used in French, and less commonly but definitely in English too, in the sense of a 'melody,' a 'tune.' This is exactly how it's used in, say, that other famous Piaf song "Padam...Padam..." where it's used to refer to the song itself.

    If you read 'air' as 'melody' here, then the line might come to mean "You (that is the guy being referred to as Milord) have the tune (song) of... not just a kid, but Piaf herself! (Piaf having been known in her early performing days as La Môme Piaf which means The Kid/Little Sparrow)

    MILORD Paroles: Georges Moustaki, musique: Marguerite Monnot, enr. 5 juin 1959

    Allez, venez, Milord! Vous asseoir à ma table; Il fait si froid, dehors, Ici c'est confortable.

    Come on, come, Milord! Sit at my table; It’s so cold outside, And it’s pleasant here.

    Laissez-vous faire, Milord Et prenez bien vos aises, Vos peines sur mon coeur Et vos pieds sur une chaise

    Let it all be, Milord And take it easy, Lay your sorrows on my heart And your feet on a chair

    Je vous connais, Milord, Vous ne m'avez jamais vue Je ne suis qu'une fille du port, Qu'une ombre de la rue...

    I know you, Milord, You’ve never seen me I am not a girl from the port, or a shade of the street…

    Pourtant je vous ai frôlé Quand vous passiez hier, Vous n'étiez pas peu fier, Dame! Le ciel vous comblait:

    Yet I touched you lightly When you passed yesterday, You were not proud, Mother of God! You filled the whole sky:

    Votre foulard de soie Flottant sur vos épaules, Vous aviez le beau rôle, On aurait dit le roi...

    Your silk scarf floating on your shoulders, You had a beautiful presence, One would have said that of a king…

    Vous marchiez en vainqueur Au bras d'une demoiselle Mon Dieu!... Qu'elle était belle... J'en ai froid dans le coeur...

    You walked in like a winner holding hands with a young girl My God! … She was beautiful… And it chilled my heart…

    Allez, venez, Milord! Vous asseoir à ma table; Il fait si froid, dehors, Ici c'est confortable.

    Come on, come, Milord! Sit at my table; It’s so cold outside, And it’s pleasant here.

    Laissez-vous faire, Milord Et prenez bien vos aises, Vos peines sur mon coeur Et vos pieds sur une chaise

    Let it all be, Milord, And take it easy, Lay your sorrows on my heart, And your feet on a chair

    Je vous connais, Milord, Vous ne m'avez jamais vue Je ne suis qu'une fille du port, Qu'une ombre de la rue...

    I know you, Milord, You’ve never seen me, I am not a girl who walks the port, or the shades of the street…

    Dire qu'il suffit parfois

    Qu'il y ait un navire Pour que tout se déchire Quand le navire s'en va...

    Say it’s enough sometimes to have a ship, So that everything gets torn apart when the ship goes off…

    Il emmenait avec lui La douce aux yeux si tendres Qui n'a pas su comprendre Qu'elle brisait votre vie

    He took them along with him, Those soft eyes so tender, Which had no understanding, Which broke your life

    L'amour, ça fait pleurer Comme quoi l'existence Ça vous donne toutes les chances Pour les reprendre après...

    To love is to cry, To exist is like that, You’re given all the chances To take them once more in days to come…

    Allez, venez, Milord! Vous avez l'air d'un môme! Laissez-vous faire, Milord, Venez dans mon royaume:

    Come on, come, Milord! You have the air of a kid! , Let it all be Milord, Come into my kingdom:

    Je soigne les remords, Je chante la romance, Je chante les milords Qui n'ont pas eu de chance!

    I look after the remorses, I sing songs of romance, I sing to milords Who did not have a chance!

    Regardez-moi, Milord, Vous ne m'avez jamais vue... ...Mais vous pleurez, Milord? Ça je l'aurais jamais cru!

    Look at me, Milord, You’ve never seen me… … But you cry, Milord? That I'd never have believed!

    Eh bien, voyons, Milord!

    Souriez-moi, Milord! ...Mieux que ça! Un petit effort...

    Oh well, let us see, Milord! Smile at me, Milord! … Better than that! A small effort…

    Voilà, c'est ça! Allez, riez, Milord!

    There, like that! Come on, laugh, Milord!

    Allez, chantez, Milord! La-la-la...

    Come on, sing, Milord! La-la-la…

    Mais oui, dansez, Milord! La-la-la...

    But of course, dance, Milord! La-la-la…

    Bravo Milord! La-la-la...

    Bravo Milord! La-la-la…

    Encore Milord!... La-la-la...

    Once more, Milord! … La-la-la…

    soumik! You need to look up how french negatives work! Ne...que means "only"

    Donc, le phrase "Je ne suis qu'une fille de port, qu'une ombre de la rue" means "I am just a girl of the port (a prostitute?), only a shadow of the street.

    Isn't "mome" more of an urchin than a kid? (I haven't the faintest clue how to type the circumflex accent over the"o" in "mome"! Well done, "gymnopedie"-"fille de port" sounds suspiciously like "street girl" to me!

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Mental Istid
Ebba Grön
This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Album art
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
