Mix - Le petit prince: L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux

Medium: Book
Fandom: Le Petit Prince
Subject: General
Title: L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux (What is essential is invisible to the eye)
Warnings: Spoilers for the whole book.

Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet that was scarcely any bigger than himself, and who needed a friend / Il était une fois un petit prince qui habitait une planète à peine plus grande que lui, et qui avait besoin d’un ami...



genesis ¤ dance on a volcano
If they are well cleaned out, volcanoes burn slowly and steadily, without any eruptions / S’ils sont bien ramonés, les volcans brûlent doucement et régulièrement, sans éruptions.

Through a crack in Mother Earth
Blazing hot, the molten rock
Spills out over the land
And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away
HEY! HEY! HEY!
If you don't want to boil as well
B-B-Better start the dance
D-D-Do you want to dance with me



¤


iron & wine ¤ sunset soon forgotten
Were you so sad, then, on the day of the forty-four sunsets? / Le jour des quarante-quatre fois tu étais donc tellement triste?

Be this sunset one for keepin'
This junebug street sings low and lovely
Those band-aid children chased your dog away
She runs returning, suns still sinkin'

Down and down, once again
Down and down, gone again



¤


marilou et garou ¤ tu es comme ça
She was such a proud flower / C’était une fleur tellement orgueilleuse...

Tu es comme ça, fier et libre
Tu peux partir là-bas
Mais rien ne téloigne jamais
De ce que tu aimes, de ce que tu aimes
Tu es comme ça coeur fidèle
Ton regard se perd parfois
Mais rien ne te fait oublier
De ce que tu aimes, de ce que tu aimes

Alors tu veux redonner, aux fleurs, au ciel, aux gens
Des couleurs quils nont plus
Ramener la douceur un peu à ceux quils lont perdu
Alors tu veux des musiques du temps des instants dor pour apaiser le tiens
Quelques notes magiques un mot, un rien pour quils soient bien



¤


phil collins ¤ je veux savoir
the little prince, who never in his life had let go of a question, once he had asked it / le petit prince qui, de sa vie, n’avait renoncé à une question, une fois qu’il l’avait posée.

Tout ce que tu fais, je le ferai
Apprends-moi ce que je ne connais pas
Tout ce que tu sais n'est rien encore pour moi
Il y a tant de chose à savoir
Semblant si près, pourtant si loin
Je me vois comme les autres me voient
Mais il y a quelque chose plus grand là-bas

Je veux savoir, montre-les-moi
Ces étrangers que seraient faits comme moi
Apprends-moi, montre-les-moi
Ces inconnus qui seraient pareils à moi



¤


metric ¤ calculation theme
The grown-ups are very strange / Les grandes personnes sont bien étranges.

Sleep don't pacify us until
Daybreak sky lights up the grid we live in
Dizzy when we talk so fast

Fields of numbers streaming past

I wish we were farmers, I wish we knew how
To grow sweet potatoes and milk cows



¤


céline dion ¤ quelqu'un que j'aime, quelqu'un qui m'aime
But I was too young to know how to love her / Mais j’étais trop jeune pour savoir l’aimer.

A quoi ca sert
D'avoir
L'univers a mes pieds
Si solitaire
Ce soir
Dans ma chambre a L.A.

Je voudrais avoir
Quelqu'un que j'aime
Quelqu'un a qui donner
Quelqu'un qui m'aime
Avec qui tout partager



¤


sarah brightman ¤ desert rose
If some one loves a flower, of which just one single blossom grows in all the millions and millions of stars, it is enough to make him happy just to look at the stars / Si quelqu’un aime une fleur qui n’existe qu’à un exemplaire dans les millions et les millions d’étoiles, ça suffit pour qu’il soit heureux quand il les regarde.

Somewhere, she knows that he will find her
Til every single teardrop became a desert rose
Love her, and hold your hand above hers
Until the crossroads meet you
A legend that will come true
No longer will you call her a desert rose



¤


great big sea ¤ walk on the moon
It will be as if, in place of the stars, I had given you a great number of little bells that knew how to laugh / Ce sera comme si je t’avais donné, au lieu d’étoiles, des tas de petits grelots qui savent rire....

Is it just me
Or a message from above?
Bells are ringin'
Push has finally come to shove
The door before me now
Has opened just enough
And I'm sick and tired of waiting
For dreams that never come
And games I never played in
But still wish that I had won

I'm alive
I've got one shot and I'm takin' it to you
I'm alive
I've come to realize not a moment too soon
That this is my one small step
This is my walk on the moon



¤


the spill canvas ¤ sunsets and car crashes
There was nothing but a flash of yellow close to his ankle / Il n’y eut rien qu’un éclair jaune près de sa cheville.

And in case you were wondering
You are like a sunset to me
You're all kinds of beautiful as you end my day
And you sweetly retire as stars chase you away

I'd collapse to the grass, with your notes ringing in my head
Let the rain fill my mouth, and in a couple hours I'll be dead
But all the while my lips are whistling our tune
But the beauty lies in how you will revive me soon



¤


helicon ¤ medley: ...a girl raises her sheep
The little prince shuts his flower under her glass globe every night, and he watches over his sheep very carefully / Le petit prince enferme sa fleur toutes les nuits sous son globe de verre, et il surveille bien son mouton...

[Instrumental.]

Gorgeous! The Little Prince is my all-time favorite book, and you certainly did it justice. Snagging the songs I don't already have. :)

Oh, I love this book. It's so wonderfully hilarious and beautifully sad. You speak French? Je l'apprends depuis trois ans.

I loved Le Petit Prince, both reading it growing up and reading it in the original French in class. Thanks for making this mix ^_^

Ah, Le Petit Prince...

J'ai découvert ce livre lorsque j'avais sept ans. Je dois avouer qu'à l'époque, l'histoire m'avait déprimée plus que charmée! Je l'aurais appréciée davantage si j'avais eu la chance d'en discuter avec un adulte... C'est un livre qui nécessite une discussion, à tout le moins avec les jeunes enfants. Plusieurs parents ne le réalisent pas. Les images sont simples et charmantes, mais le livre est plus mature dans le fond que dans la forme!

(I hope my commenting in French isn't obnoxious... I thought you'd like it. You can totally answer to me in English if you feel like it, I'm not trying to pressure you into using French ^^;)

the metric song is actually just "calculation theme" not "calculation (theme)"
