'A Cause' - Official Discussion Topic

[Céline's Blues]

It's official. The 1 m extract we have heard is from the beginning of the song. We will get 2 additional minutes of techno Valentina tempo tempo tempo! The lyrics seems quite nice actually. I do find the choice of words on "apothéose" and "stratagèmes" pretty weird. LOL!

Sì sì, siuretto. Full lyrics of "A Cause", thanks to our member mikymika, from his blog http://celinedionnews.skyblog.com/7.html

 

"A CAUSE"

 

On s'est aimé à cause

A cause de la vie

A cause des grands rêves

Que nous avions bâtis

Autour d'Adam et d'Eve

Et de leurs paradis

 

On s'est aimé à cause

A cause d'un instant

A cause d'une ambiance

D'un lieu et d'un moment

Et des lambeaux d'enfance

Collés à nos vingt ans

 

On s'est aimé à cause... à cause...

Mais aujourd'hui tant de choses ont changé

On s'est aimé à cause... à cause...

Et maintenant, il faut s'aimer malgré

 

Il faut s'aimer malgré,

Malgré le temps perdu

Malgré tous les grands rêves

Dont on est revenu

Comme Adam et comme Eve

Du paradis perdu

 

Il faut s'aimer malgré,

Même malgré le pire

Malgré les stratagèmes

De nos soupirs sans désir

Malgré tous nos problèmes

Malgré nos souvenirs

 

On s'est aimé à cause... à cause...

Mais aujourd'hui tant de choses ont changé

On s'est aimé à cause... à cause...

Et maintenant, il faut s'aimer malgré

 

Il faut s'aimer malgré, malgré beaucoup de choses

Mais maintenant, vois tu, on ne peut ignorer

Que l'amour se transforme et son apothéose...

C'est quand on aime à cause...

A cause des "malgré"!

 

On s'est aimé à cause... à cause...

Et maintenant, il faut s'aimer malgré

Mais aujourd'hui tant de choses ont changé

On s'est aimés à cause... à cause...

Oui maintenant, il faut s'aimer malgré

We have loved because...

Because of life

Because of big dreams

That whe had built

Around Adam and Eve

And Their Paradise

 

We have loved because

Because of a moment

Because of a sentiment

Of a place and of a moment

And of pieces of our childhood

Glued at your 20ies

 

Chorus

We have loved because ... because ...

But today so many things have changed

We have loved because ... because ..

And now we have to love despite...

 

We have to love despite ...

Despite of lost time

Despite of all the big dreams

That we have come back from

Like Adam and Eve

From the lost paradies

 

We have to love despite

Even despite of the wors

Despite of the conceits

Of our desireless sighs

Despite of our probelmes

Despite of our memories

 

Chorus

 

We have to love despite, despite of many things

But now, you see, we can't ignore

That love changes and its apotheosis

Is wehn we love because

Because of the "despites"

 

Chorus

[alextrusca]

Well, I have to say I just lurv za lyrics, they are extremely poetic...Especially the apotheosis metaphor is very inspired...

[firebird]

Yes, so far I think A cause, Je cherche l'ombre and S'il n'en restait qu'une have really good lyrics on this album.

[Macaronie]

Thanks dudes.

[Céline's Blues]

Thanks dudes.

Studs if you please!

[thevoice]

sounds great . but how does he have the lyrics unless he has the record ?! i mean - i find it hard to believe that he remmembers all the lyrics after only one time he heard it

[alextrusca]

Mika received a booklet with all the lyrics when he went to preview the album.

[thevoice]

ohhh thanks , i didnt know it . too bad he couldnt steal the CD

[alextrusca]

it would have been so great,,,

[CSCfan]

too bad he couldnt steal the CD

 

 

One shall not steal from others.

[Céline's Blues]

There were like hundreds ppl in the room and one CD. Of course he should stel it. And he would definitely SHARE it with us like he shared the HQ version of the second single! Of course. NOT!

[firebird]

There is certainly a way to rip watermarked promo CDs

 

What? I didn't say anything ...

[alextrusca]

[thevoice]

too bad he couldnt steal the CD

 

 

One shall not steal from others.

 

dont play the mama tereza role here , i was just kidding

[maxceline]

thanks for the lyric

[Céline's Blues]

So far I think Dorin's lyrics are the best, even better than the extract of Je Cherche L'Ombre and Les Paradis. This woman is amazing and I am so glad she has offered thes two absolute STUNNING and STAGERRING vocal tunes (SNRQ and her gay anthem A Cause) to Céline!

 

I am expecting AC to be a bloody hot across Europe in summer.

[stevo]

A Cause B E T T E R get released. I wanna shake my gay booty to it!

[Macaronie]

[Céline's Blues]

We have to remember that she has chosen to title this album D'elles not without a reason. It's a little ode to D'eux an album that has been recorded 13 years ago in time when Céline didn't actually know yet how to conquer the French speaking market. D'eux has been recorded by a "French Quebecoise" that shared her life stories through the lyrics of Jean-Jacques Goldman who was ready to discover and study her cuzz he saw something special in her at that time (and still sees it btw and talks about it in almost every interview till today when asked about her).

 

D'elles is a clear diva project, 13 years later to connect with the happenings that D'eux triggered, to explain their consequences in some way. And I find it a brilliant move especially lyrically since Céline herself feels now more feminine than ever in the respect of having fulfilled herself as a singing diva and mother. And Céline isn't surely a "typical Aerican diva" anyway despite the fact that some of her fans in France do see her that way. D'eux struck them and they might have been let down ever since she became so "americanized", even in her French music. And D'elles may be the album that only confirms it but NOT in a negative way - she has changed big time ever since 1995 and this transition might have been overhelming for some fans of the French variete. In my opinion Céline addresses this very issue on D'elles and the best thing is evidently she is NOT denying the change that took place.

pertinent analysis, as always, siur. Well, this text is very good but not as brilliant as Immensité, may I say. Anyway, we'll have less than 20 days to wait now. It's the last and direct line to the so expected album.

[Melody]

I love it, not as much as SNRQ, but I love it, Thanks "studs"

[mikymika]

I don't share the HQ of "Immensité" with anyone because I don't want problems with Sony BMG or any inconvenience, do you understand that!?

 

I think I shared some informations with you and your reaction wasn't so good!

 

I'm very sad, and I delete the celinedionnews blog because of you man!

[Céline's Blues]

Don't worry, miky, you don't even know how much I appreciate your info! You won't get trouble with Sony for sure (I don't think they care about this release anyway), you give us all the info and it's still very much appreciated.

[firebird]

A Cause B E T T E R get released. I wanna shake my gay booty to it!

I think Jeroen wants to come with you

I find this one more brilliant, the words are perfect, there is simplicity, it has a good twist. Immensité is far from being brilliant, it's just an enumeration of clichés.

What? Mika, what happened?

Obviously you don't know what's a cliché in french. or maybe I've never heard such beautiful clichés ("les grands loups blancs pris au piège", "les nuits fauves d'une reine de Sabbat", "j'ai vu le froid, j'ai vu la trans", "tout l'éclat de nos baisers, comme des étoiles sur ma peau". Maybe you can explain me what's a cliché ?

Only if you'd hold my hand.

 

And mika, I really do appreciate what you have done for us so far!!

[firebird]

Maybe you can explain me what's a cliché ?

Don't you have a dictionnary?

There you can also find the difference between "beau" and "kitsch"

Little insolent, who are you to talk to me like that? French is my native tongue, so I know perfectly first what's a cliché and cultured enough to know what "kitsh" means too. Respect my tastes, I'll respect yours. This forum is a courteous place, so please be polite.
