CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

[lovethemanrs]

Hi everyone

There is a singer called Jack Johnson. Below are lyrics from one of his songs.

I have highlighted 3 lines of the lyrics in bold. Can one of you brilliant RT'ers who are multi-lingual translate for me please. Or even better if you are French, that's just perfect.

Thanks for your help in anticipation. You can post your anwer or PM me, whichever you prefer.

I'd like to use this piece of music for a Rufus utube video, but I want to know what I am saying first!!!!!


Jack Johnson
IN BETWEEN DREAMS

Title of song is - Belle
Track number 12


Oi lienda 

Bella che fa? 

Bonita, bonita que tal? 
But belle 

Je ne comprend pas francais 
(I do not understand French)
So you’ll have to speak to me 

Some other way

[Petruchio - Good God]

Thanks for the help ladies. I think I've got enough to work on now. May take a while though, cause have to do some work!!!! Borrrrring

Hey kygal - I was up in Manchester last weekend with Robela. You would have been proud of us. Robela had not seen EH before. So we watched all 18 episodes over the course of the weekend!!!!

She is now a convert to all things Hood. I bet she was on to Amazon first thing Tuesday morning to order a copy.

We also watched lots of other stuff too......by the end of 3 days we were both well "Roofed"

[kygal]

I am so proud of you gals...lol. Glad you enjoyed EH. , it took me a week to get through the 18 eps when I first got my dvd, and you know how much I loved it! Sounds like a well-roofed weekend. I need to find some time to "get roofed"!

Thanks for the info PGG!

[Petruchio - Good God]

I was "out of order" for 2 1/2 weeks after an accident in January... in this days I have seen every day 2-4 movies with Rufus and EH within 2 days... and enjoyed it very much I can understand ltmrs and robela to do the same....
