On ne peut pas se défaire
De l'endroit d'où l'on vient
La mère et l'enfance ne sont jamais très loin
On a laissé les siens si souvent, partir il le faut bien
On apprend à dire "non" un matin

Moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
Je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
C'est bien mieux comme ça

Bâtir des murs autour de soi
Vouloir se protéger du froid
Tout ce temps qui passe on en revient pas
Quels sont ceux à qui je tiens ?
La solitude me va si bien
Mais si jamais l'amour s'en vient ça m'va

Moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
Je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
Je me fous des petits malheurs
Je m'en fous, c'est bien mieux comme ça

Je tente une traduction qui me paraît mieux correspondre :

We can't get rid of where we come from
Mother and child[hood?] are never very far away
We have left our loved ones so often, to leave, we have to
We learn to say "no" one morning

I smile at the little joys
I smile, it's much better that way
It's much better that way

Building walls around yourself
Wanting to protect yourself from the cold
All this time that passes, we never come back
Who are the ones I care about?
Loneliness suits me so well
But if love ever comes, that's fine with me

I smile at the little joys
I smile, it's much better that way
I don't care about little woes
I don't care, it's much better that way

Is that Madeleine Peyroux I hear in uncharacteristically upbeat mood? No, it's an Algerian-French artist I've never heard before. Love when that happens. Thank you RP! I'll now explore Soha's back catalog for more such gems.

You can't get rid of
From the place where you come from
Mother and childhood are never far away
We've left our own so many times, we have to leave
You learn to say "no" one morning

I smile at the little pleasures
I smile, it's much better that way
It's much better this way

Building walls around you
I'm not sure what to do, I'm not sure what to do
All this time that goes by, we can't believe it
Who do I care about?
Loneliness suits me so well
But if love ever comes I'm okay with it

I'm smiling at the little joys
I smile, it's much better that way
I don't care about little misfortunes
I don't care, it's much better that way

Well, the hook translates roughly to "I don't give a f**k... it's just better that way".  If that helps.

{#Cheesygrin}


 

In the ears of the beholder I guess, but I understand the last verse as 
'I smile at small pleasures
I smile; it's much better like that
I don't care, it's much better that way'

Not really, and I only point it out because the meaning is way different:

I smile at small pleasures
I smile, it's much better this way
It's much better this way

Love her voice, reminds me of Madeline Peyroux. 

Some information about her would be great. Anyone..?
Failing that, at least take down the town in Pakistan; you've got the wrong dame.

What's with the Wikipedia re: Soha. From http://artistwiki.com/soha...Originating from Western Sahara in Algeria, growing up in a multi-cultural environment, Soha blends a variety of styles in her work. Mixing musical traditions from around the world, the prominent Cuban, Latin, jazz and soul influences, Soha gives an appealing vivacity to her sound.
Soha, a French vocalist of Algerian descent, incorporates reggae, Latin, Algerian, and Jazz - she truly is a girl of her time, knowing no boundaries other than the limit of her imagination. The result is a fantastic album that feels so much more than just the sum of these parts. There is no sense of trying items from a shopping list on for size - instead she has incorporated these influences into her soul and her music is a natural expression of this. Like all gifted musicians, Soha has assimilated a diverse range of influences but comes out the other side sounding wholly original.

Do you feel the same way about Boston accents?  Long Island accents?  Brit/Aussie?South African?  Accents from my beloved South Carolina? 

And, good sir/ma'am, her voice has plenty of energy, it's just the "simmering beneath the surface" kind of energy that took me years to recognize.  Glad I finally did, though!

the place from where we come

I laugh with the little pleasures
I smile, it's more like it

That's about the size of it. Here are the lyrics courtesy of lyricsmania.com (in turn courtesy of the search link above):

on ne peut pas se défaire
de l'endroit d'où l'on vient
la mère et l'enfant ne sont jamais très loin
on a laissé les siens partir trop souvent, il le faut bien
on apprend à dire "non" un matin

moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
c'est bien mieux comme ça

bâtir des murs autour de soi
vouloir se protéger du froid
tout ce temps qui passe on en revient pas
quels sont ceux à qui je tiens ?
la solitude me va si bien
mais si l'amour s'en vient s'en va

moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
je me fous des petits malheurs
je m'en fous, c'est bien mieux comme ça

moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
je me fous des petits malheurs
je m'en fous, c'est bien mieux comme ça


It's handy for me to read this with my rusty French, as a for un petit instant I was thinking she was singing about a mouse rather than smiling :o)

Now, based on the beautiful girl, the sultry voice, the sway in the song, I get two completely different mental pictures.  Both of which are not allowed on this website.  Love the song for that.  

Don't want to know what the lyrics actually say.  Hell, it could be a discussion about how to clean windows.
