Hey guys, would any body have a bit if time (the french knowers) to tell me a brief description of the song tour les de hommes (prob spelt wrong) but you know the one im talking bout. this will be the first time i will know any translation of any celine french song. im just too curious about this one? Thanks in advance  

Literally it means all of Man's gold

The refrain basically says that all the gold in the world would mean nothing without having you by my side/if you are far away
All the love in the world will do nothing for me if you don't change.

i LOVE this album, its my favorite Celine french album (followed by Dion Chante Plamondon).  It took me a while to get accustomed to listening to her french songs (my first was experience was D'eux), but now, I almost enjoy them more so than english!  Even though I can't understand, I find that there's a beautiful language present in singing and music that doesn't matter what tongue the lyrics are in- its pure emotion.  I can enjoy her french langueage songs in a ways that I could never the english, I can really focus on and hear the song- the melody, the vocals, the instruments- without getting caught up or distracted by the lyrics...

my fav song include:
-Ne bouge pas
-Retiens-moi
-Je lui dirai
-Rien n'est vraiment fini
-contre nature
-des millers de baiers

Lol no one has talked about this album since 2008?

Anyways… am I the only one that spotify cuts Des Milliers de Baisers before Celine ends singing? It’s so annoying.

Crazy!! Especially since she sung songs from the album during the 2016 tour! I still love the album a lot. It's a different sound for her than most of her French albums. More folk.

I don't know what you mean with DMDB tho. I don't here a cut. They only changed (for the rest of the world) that Valse Adieu is a separate track and not a hidden song.

I truly have no idea what she is singing, but this is definitely one of my favorite albums. I wrote my “coming out” song when I was 17, while listening to Retiens-moi. I just started singing English lyrics off the top of my head randomly while listening, and wrote the entire set of lyrics in less than an hour afterwards. 1f4t was released during a very vulnerable period of self discovery for me. I had many ups and downs over about a 4 month span, and this album helped me through it.

I dont even have valse a dieu… I use the Canada spotify version (anyone else has the problem?). She is cut before she sings: “en un clin d’œil oubliés”. It drives me nuts, its one of my fav of the album… When she blows out of no where and belts : On ouvrirait tous les jours où nous serions moins FOOOORTTT, TOUS CES EMBRYONS D’AMOUR, TOUTES CES AUROREEESS

I like this album, but I mostly listen to the first 8 or so songs.

There are decent English translations of her French stuff on Google - highly recommended! You will dive into a new world! Her French songs cover a wide range of themes.

That is truly one of the great moments of the album - such power (and reverb)!

[Chantemoi]

That this album and One Heart came out the same year was such perfect timing. They weren’t weighed down with pretension or crammed full with unnecessary fluff (*cough cough* ANDHC). Both albums carry a certain carefree attitude, so light and airy. Not exactly works of poetry, but not generic either. I could listen to both of these albums on repeat without ever skipping a track or bothering to change CDs. I wish they’d keep this “less is more” approach for any future releases.

[celinesounds]

I like this album, but is not my favourite

Contre Nature and Vole d’ange are my favourites ones

I like the concept

If she was not in vegas, I’m sure we would got an amazing  tour with OH and 1F&4T

[Shaun]

It’s all about “ Je lui dirai” for me.

Would work so well on stage, such a shame it’s never happened.

[ryba]

I love this album, it’s very natural, reminds me of summer time

[Alex_Incognito]

This was my first French album she released after I started taking French.  I remember ordering it from Archambault in Québec and paying a fortune for shipping. That was no small feat for a high-school student.  I loved it and loved the special edition.

[ryba]

I totally missed the special edition. I didn’t even know that it existed and I don’t own it till this day what was different about it?

[LukeD]

Et Je T'aime Encore & Contre Nature are the best songs in the album for me. Also close are Tout L'or Des Hommes & Rien N'est Vraiment Fini.

Same! If you pre-ordered yours like I did, I bet our albums were on the same truck

Really?! I was able to go right to Sam Goody and buy it on release day!

It (the standard version) wasn't released in the US until later.  I am referring to the special edition.  I remember I also ordered the "Tout l'or des hommes" single with it.

To think we almost got it as part of the TCWT! Such a shame it was cut before being given a chance to shine.

I still remember playing this album for the 1st time, back in time

I was walking by a CD store and I saw it, I couldn’t believe
A new album only a couple of months after OH

I’m still impressed how her team does nothing to Celebrate her material

They shoot 2 Tv specials and none of them are in her YouTube channel

[Unisono]

To me, the best songs are retiens-moi e rien n'est vraiment fini.

[Kong]

I remember I heard Le vol d'un ange for the first time from the Enchanting perfume ad, and the song led me to this album. Now it is one of my favourite French albums.

The fact "Contre nature" is constantly ignored during tours is criminal. It's a lovely song that deserves recognition.

Actually, she performed this song during TF1 Show that was done in the colosseum promoting the “1 Fille Et 4 Types album”.
