Quelqu’un m’a dit (Translation)

(Song by Carla Bruni)

Oh, what a beautiful song! This is the kind of thing that you feel warm just listening to, the lyrics are fitting and quite cute if you ask me.

I’m told that our lives aren’t worth much,
They pass like an instant, like wilting roses.
I’m told that time slipping by is a bastard
Making its coat of our sorrows.
Yet someone told me…

That you still loved me
Someone told me…
That you still loved me.
Well ? Could that be possible?

I’m told that fate makes fun of us,
That it gives us nothing and promises everything,
When happiness seems to be within our reach,
We reach out and find ourselves like fools.
Yet someone told me…

That you still loved me
Someone told me…
That you still loved me.
Well ? Could that be possible?

Well ? Could that be possible?

So who said that you still loved me?
I don’t remember any more, it was late at night,
I can still hear the voice, but I can no longer see the face,
“He loves you, it’s secret, don’t tell him I told you.”
You see, someone told me

That you still loved me
Did someone really tell me?
That you still loved me
Well, could that be possible?

I’m told that our lives aren’t worth much,
Passing in an instant, like wilting roses,
I’m told that time slipping by is a bastard,
Making its coat of our sadnesses.

That you still loved me
Someone told me…
That you still loved me.
Well ? Could that be possible?

It seems to be a better book-to-movie transition than any of the Twilight saga...
We'll see, The Lovely Bones is definitely one of my favorite books.

Now that finals are all done, I am looking forward to a chance to just relax and enjoy the benefits of winter (to the best of my abilities in 7 degree weather). Warm tea, movies, books, and self expression. Oh yeah.
