I
Moi

Fall asleep (here I go)
Je m'endors (allons-y)

On ur pillow (all the way)
Sur l'oreiller (je suis là)

In your room (in the center)
Dans ta chambre (au milieu)

On the ground (in the sound)
Sur le sol (et en vol)

You and me (me and you)
Toi et moi (moi et toi)

In your head
Dans ta tête

You
T'as

Drew across (as I dream)
fait une ligne (comme je rêve)

All the walls (talking it out)
Tous les murs (on parle de nous)

On the ceiling (thought about you)
Là au plafond (j'ai pensé à toi)

You hung a star (with a string)
T'accroché l'étoile (sur une corde)

On the wall
Sur le mur

Over your bed
Qui pèse sur toi

Fast talk, walk it off
Parler, laisse tomber,

The gas in the car
L'auto se remplit

Cut my hair in the yard
Mes cheveux, tu l'as coupé

You say you don’t want it
Mais tu ne le veux pas

Hop the fence, throw a dart
Les clôtures, s'échapper

The taste and the heart
le goût et le coeur

Pretty face, little star
, p'tite étoile

You say you don’t want it

havent finished this last part ^^

[dusk falcon]

I -> Moi
it works best if you then say je m'endors

Moi, je m'endors

Here I could could be "On y va"

All the way -> je suis ici is not only wrong but je suis là would be better

i recc also translations with T'as T'es shant happen as its informal

[orchid sage]

Very good job bro !

[marble pawn]

im not sure what you mean

ill edit it to those other ones tyy

[marble pawn]

ty

[dusk falcon]

Tu as

Tu as accroché

[marble pawn]

the lyrics are pretty informal too i thought it would work, plus fit better

[dusk falcon]

i would reccomend not

if youre translatin g

but

[dusk falcon]

this is most important because youre missing avoir

if youre publiushing this to somewhere like lyric translate id ont reccomend T'as instead of Tu as

parle vite, laisse-le tomber
i would say, parler is to speak, parle is the imperitive

wait are you translating so you can sing it

because thats a whole different story... @marble pawn

[marble pawn]

yeah

[dusk falcon]

so you can sing it right

[marble pawn]

do sung lyrics translate differently

[marble pawn]

yeah

it is a song lol

[dusk falcon]

oook

[marble pawn]

which is why i was shortening things for the correct cadence

is that the word

cadence and intonation

and syllables

[dusk falcon]

well there are people who translate songs that arent for singing

[marble pawn]

i suppose so lmao

would mine work okay as sung, or does the formality issue still apply here

[dusk falcon]

then no

[marble pawn]

no to which part

[dusk falcon]

formality is not needed

[marble pawn]

ah okay so is what ive got good for a song?

and do you have any ideas for the last part im a bit stuck

[dusk falcon]

see the above

you are missing AVOIR

[marble pawn]

i might need to change the verb then

unless i just make it t'as accroche

[dusk falcon]

t'as accroché

you cannot really use the imperfect

[marble pawn]

could i use l'astre then

t'as accroché l'astre
