English translation of French lyrics sung by Czech band?
-
What's the English translation of these French songs sung by the Czech band Miou Miou? I love the music of http://www.mintyfresh.com/promo/MiouMiou/, a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miou_Miou that sings entirely in French. I want to sing along! But my high-school French is terrible and my Czech nonexistent, and I've found nothing through googling for lyrics in both those languages and English. Could a French speaker please: - transcribe the French lyrics of a song or two so I can tell what I'm hearing, AND/OR - translate the French lyrics into English so I can tell what the words are saying? Streaming Miou Miou for your convenience: http://www.myspace.com/mioumiou/music, http://grooveshark.com/#!/artist/Miou+Miou/673163/songs I'm curious about all their music, but my favorite songs are these three, in descending order: 1. http://grooveshark.com/s/Avant+Le+Voyage/32lOSv?src=5 / http://www.myspace.com/mioumiou/music/songs/avant-le-voyage-38060883 - their first song I heard and fell in love with, so the lyrics I'd like most. 2. http://grooveshark.com/s/La+Chambre+Voisine/32lNZG?src=5 / http://www.myspace.com/mioumiou/music/songs/avant-le-voyage-38060883 -"something something tout de suite"? 3. http://grooveshark.com/#!/artist/Miou+Miou/673163 / http://www.myspace.com/mioumiou/music/songs/le-petit-punk-26097047 I found one music video for the song http://youtu.be/XinQtwqqn3I. And just for curiousity's sake, how well or badly are they singing in French? It could be French-flavored gibberish for all that I know. Thank you!

Answer:
Well, I wanted to try to translate it for you, but I have to say their french is pretty hard to understand. Couldn't find the lyrics online either. Here's what I could make out of it : Avant le voyage : "Je me réveille le matin avant que le soleil se lève" - I wake up in the morning before the sun rises I really don't understand the chorus for this one, sorry. in La chambre voisine, they say : "Viens me voir, tout de suite" - Come see me right away "Passe par le mur" - Come through the wall (meaning : use the wall to come here, instead of the door) "Touche moi, tout de suite" - Touch me right now "Touche moi, je n'aurai pas peur(?)" - Touch me I won't be afraid? "Je désire tout de toi?" - I want everything from you (not sure if that means "all of you") Le petit punk : "le futur ce n'est pas clair, le passé dans mes prières(?)" - Future is not clear, the past is in my prayers? "Il n'y a pas de futur, pas pour nous" - There is no future, not for us Btw, http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miou-Miou is a 1970's French actress.

Yay, thank you so much! I can mumble along more confidently now. I feel better about not understanding their French if a French speaker also has trouble with it. :) I once read an (English) interview with the band saying they sang in French because it sounded cool, less than their facility with the language. The music's still incomprehensible adorable. I learned of Miou-Miou through searching for Miou Miou. I assume the band named itself after the actress. It makes the band much harder to google!
