french pop songs

I’m a Lil’ Rusty on My French, But Great Song!

While I was working out the other day, I heard this song on the Music Choice Dance/Electronica channel. I was working up a major sweat and had my eyes close while knocking out the last 5 minutes of my time on the bike. I was so exhausted, but this song came on and it caught my attention.

I finished my work out and got off the bike, then danced around my room like a happy little girl (I do that a lot, just dancing around my room and singing…it’s fun!).The song is sung entirely in French and it has been awhile since I took French for two years in high school. The song is called “Que Veux Tu” and it’s by French band Yelle, which is the name of the sassy lead female singer. Que veux tu translates into “what do you want” and the song is pretty much talking about admitting your in love, but the guy at first is too blind to see it.

I love listening to music that’s in a different language. I remember hearing O-Zone “Dragostea Din Tei” when I was in high school and this Greek kid introduced me to their music. Then T.I. sampled it for “Live Your Life”, but I had already heard the song when I was younger. Even if you don’t know the lyrics or understand it, you can still enjoy the music.

This isn’t French, but it’s another one of my favorite songs in Hindi language. The beat is dope and I watched the movie on Netflix Rab Ne Banadi Jodi. The song is called  “Haule Haule”.
