This one turned out silly. When Josh gave the assignment, the first things that came to mind were Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot, two of my favorite sixties icons. They recorded some bossa nova style songs together so I tried to take this in the same manner as they did. Pardon my French pronunciation as it is not great at all. I think I may have pronounced the "s" sound when I should not have... Thanks to my cousin Lin who lives in France for helping me translate!!!
lyrics
It's when she smiles, he gets high
He sees the world in her eyes
And he says
Tu es mes etoiles (you are my stars)
Je suis ta nuit (I am your night)
Nous nous envolons (we will fly away)
Avec la lune (with the moon)
And everyone knows their names
If not for love and champagne
And he says
Tu es mes etoiles
Je suis ta nuit
Nous nous envolons
Avec la lune
They are the sky of the frances night
Beauty that blinds like daylight
And he says
Tu es mes etoiles
Je suis ta nuit
Nous nous envolons
Avec la lune
