I'm just curious why everyone from the States is ordering from Amazon.fr, versus Archambault or a Canadian store. I'm from Boston, so Montreal/ Quebec is only a 6hr drive, but also shipping is wicked fast. Just wanted to know if it's worth ordering from the cd from France versus Canada. Thanks

October 4, 2012 at 04:20 PM

anyone of you, who have resisted listening to the new songs?
I try to... although it is hard!

I'm not going to listen either. I rarely listen to anything that was leaked from Celine, but it can be sooooo hard. Worth it though when I put the disc in the music system and crank up the speakers, sitting there with a bottle of wine on that cold winters night in November.

It's not yet available on any Canadian site, or at least none that I've checked. If you find it, post a link!

I don't like both of the songs that much.. Maybe if I hear them in HQ.. when I have the album..

Celine Dion - La mer et l’enfant

Je suis la mer tu es l'enfant

Aucun lien n'est plus sage

Tu es le sable moi l'océan

Tu es mon seul rivage

Je te recouvre chaque instant

De mes vagues de passion

Comme une mer de sentiments

Et d'affections

De toute ma tendresse

Mes vagues te caressent

Comme un enfant face à la mer

Souriant et apaisé

Tu trouves en moi quelques repères

Notre rêve est réalisé

Ne pleure plus je te rassure

Car c'est la mer qui efface

Les cicatrices et les blessures

Écrits dans le sable à la surface

Je suis la mer tu es l'enfant

Aucun lien n'est plus fort

Tu es ma terre moi l'océan

Tu es mon seul décor

Je sais devenir capricieuse

Je peux me mettre en sang

Et jouer la tempête furieuse

Qui te défend

De tout mon privilège

Mes vagues te protègent

Comme un enfant face à la mer

Souriant et apaisé

Tu trouves en moi quelques repères

Notre rêve est réalisé

Ne pleure plus je te rassure

Car c'est la mer qui efface

Les cicatrices et les blessures

Écrits dans le sable à la surface

Comme un enfant face à la mer

Souriant et apaisé

Tu trouves en moi quelques repères

Notre rêve est réalisé

Ne pleure plus je te rassure

Car c'est la mer qui efface

Les cicatrices et les blessures

Écrits dans le sable à la surface

Lyrics composed Grand Corps Malade

Haha that's what I was figuring. I was thinking maybe the French version had the limited what nots/limited special editions and not in Canada. Are we for certainly sure it is not released in the States? CelineDion.com makes it seem like it's an international release no? It's so stupid that we all over the world can listen to the new single, watch the video, but we can't buy it.

What a great song, it's been a long long time that we did not have a good song like this ! The lyrics are amazing, they should work together more, he is great lyricist, I love this song so much.

I love her voice on both songs !

Thanks! Please, can you put Qui peut vire sans amour?

October 4, 2012 at 08:24 PM

Same here, I don't like what I've heard so far... :/

October 4, 2012 at 10:59 PM

People who don't understand French can't really get the full effect of the lyrics of La mer et l'enfant (even if translated) due to the play on words like "mer/mère".

Mer (sea) and Mère (mother) are pronounced the same way so the lyrics go back and forth between the two meanings... Can't be translated with both meanings in English.

I think it's impossible not to like this song if you do understand the language.

October 4, 2012 at 11:43 PM

Thank you for the lyrics! It's quite different to read them after listening to them! I find it amazing that a man like Grand Corps Malade (who writes so well and is so amazing!) can write something so special like the relation between a mother and her child. Amazing! :heart:

I'm wondering something about the song "Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour" . . .in a couple of interviews, Celine has mentioned the line "Tu n'es pas l'amour de ma vie; tu es la vie de mon amour" (You are not the love of my life; you are the life of my love.) -- She seems to love that line. Does anyone know if this song is supposed to be about Rene or her children? At first, I thought it was about Rene, but something they said in the District V video made me think it was about the children "Un petit petit petit grand bonheur" (A little, little, little, big happiness) . .I guess that the three little children bring great happiness?

Just wondering what French speakers think, since I don't understand all the lyrics. Thanks!

Actually, the song had been written before Celine had her twins, so there were no three children at that time

It is indeed about her children, here is the translation I made:

Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour - I don't need love

No I don't need love

I have someone everyday

In my arms

No I don't need love

I don't need moons

I have kisses that enlighten me more than stars

No I don't need flowers

Words sprout in my heart

I don't need dreams

No I don't need lovers

The wind blows tremendously

The night spreads musically

As I'm rocking my family

A little little great happiness

A beautiful gift from life

No I don't need love

I have friends surrounding me

My arms are full with happiness

No I don't need love

I don't need moons

I have kisses that enlighten me more than stars

A little little great happiness

A beautiful gift from life

You are not the love of my life

You are the life of my love ( >> You are my love brought to life )

My little little little tremendous happiness

I don't need flowers

Words sprout in my heart

I don't need dreams

No I don't need lovers

A single day without kissing you

And the leaves start falling

Help, help

I need love

October 5, 2012 at 05:01 AM

Thanks again for the translation :flowers:

October 5, 2012 at 06:27 AM

La mer et l'enfant is so soft, beautiful and poetic. Qui peut vivre sans amour is edgy and dark, too bad we miss the climax of the song. Great songs!

I have this feeling Sans Attendre is going to be big, from every standpoint.

Thanks again for the translation

You're welcome again

Her way of singing fits the lyrics, there is tension, anger. It must indeed become more and more intense and powerful by the end... Can't wait to hear the whole song :w00t:

You're very welcome!

I use them all the time and never let me down. Great customer service and fast deliveries (Ireland). Not to mention most of the times they're the cheapest around. I can't believe how much Amazon charges for CD's! :doh:

Thanks for the link Bart, think ill order from there :)

October 5, 2012 at 05:24 PM

Thanks Bart. :flowers: You are right, play.com is always a good alternative to amazon. I usually heck both sights to see which is doing the best deal on getting a specific item sent to Ireland. Looks like play wins out this time.

Has anyone noticed the "5" bauble on some of the posters being used for the album? I wonder if this was removed for the actual cd. I haven't seen it on any photos up to now.

The HQ cover with number 5 was posted by mirage few days ago. Maybe, it's a standard edition cover since it's square.

It contains the number 5!
