Really rough translation. Just an overview. I tried to flag parts that I tried to clean up the direct translation a bit, because a direct translation would have made little or no sense. Sorry that I skipped around from first person to third person quite a bit.

 

In other words, here is a basic summary, remember it's translation from a translation (also I used Google Translate, so do not think this is the definitive version, just a pretty good idea of what was said):

 

Her kids are musical, and love music and dancing—sometimes they compete with each other. She said they do have her genes after all.

 

Their home is not as chaotic as the home she grew up in, because she had 14 brothers and sisters. (I may have cut a bit out about there still being a lot of energy in their home though, I can't remember now and do not have time to go back and re-check it, sorry).

 

She has a lot to do (albums, shows, kids). But, she does one thing at a time. Being a mom is her top priority, for sure. She and her husband are very organized.

 

Currently, she has no plans to get pregnant. But, she would never say never, because you do not know what could happen.

 

She is more proud of her kids than selling 220 million records. Her boys are the best thing that has happened in her life. It’s a lot of work (the kids), but she is very proud. She said, honestly, singers come and go. She said she is replaceable, no one really needs her. If she stops singing, someone else would start. But, as the mother of her children, she is unique and cannot be replaced.

 

She is optimistic, likes her new music, and hopes others like it. She is grateful for her career, and the encouragement she has had over the years. But, she said she is just a vocalist, she is not important, she just makes music. If her career ended today, she would not be in despair, she would adjust. [Disclaimer, cut out the first part of the answer when she said something like “What am I supposed to do? And then something about being a female artist. Also, the last line, she may have been saying that people would not be in despair, they would adjust, but I think she meant she would adjust and be okay if her career was over.]

 

What does it mean to be “Celine”? (like a, what is it like to be you question, I guess)

We are wealthy, but older (maybe mature?), it (maybe the money?) does not take away worries that people have (so, like a, we are wealthy, but worry about stuff like anyone else). She said they often have the same concerns. She knows not everyone likes her, and certainly not everyone likes her music, but she has had broad success, and she has never let “people hang” (let people down, maybe??) She has maintained a career for 30 years, that’s tough. That is an accomplishment. Naturally, she has had outstanding songwriters, and outstanding people watching out for her (the out for her part, is a guess at the translation here). But, that alone is not enough to explain (I think she means explain her career success).

 

But? (was the question) Answer: I am an open book. The people like how quick I will be personable (speak personally). I talk about the fact that my husband is 26 years old than me, and not many in my family and friends believed that as long as we are together (I think like, not many friends and family believed it would last). Yes, it was difficult to get pregnant, yes her husband had cancer.

 

Question: people tell stories without permission (a direct translation, but it does not make much sense, sorry).

Answer: Sure. And the fans, especially women, feel connected to me. They can relate, and say things like “that happened to me” or “I feel what Celine feels.”

For a lot of people, her music gets its importance from their own circumstances, like if it is used at a wedding or at a funeral.

 

Last question (not kidding, here haha):

Question: You talk a lot (direct translation). Then something like, does your husband get a word in?

 

Answer: My husband doesn't complain, but my oldest song thinks it is annoying. I always repeat myself. Then she laughed.
