J'aime les gens qui doutent - anne sylvestre

I put some translation, because I like the contrast of the sweet melody, and occasional slur.

It must be a musical genre. But the only well known example I can think of is Fuck you -lily Allen . At least in Allen's the vulgarity serve a purpose. Here, it sound so weird :

  I like people who doubt

people who listen too much

to the move of their hearts.

I like people who talk

And contradict

And never denounce

I like people who tremble

Sometimes they seems

able to judge.

I like people passing by

one feet in their beaters

and the other aside

  chorus: I like their little song

Even if they pass for twats

I like those who panic

Those who are not logical

Finally, not "as it should".

Those who, with their chains

So that it doesn't bother us

Make just a little bell noise

  Those who will not be ashamed

Of being in the end

just failures of the heart.

Because they could'nt say:

"Deliver us from the worst

And keep the best"

chorus

  I like people who don't dare

Take ownership of things

even less of people.

Those who only want to be

Just a simple window

in the eyes of children's

Those who without banner

And with a color blind soul

Ignore the colors.

Those who are retard enough

so that the History

never give them military honors

  chorus

I like people who doubt

But would like us to leave them the fuck

alone from time to time.

And that we don't mistreat them

when they walk

Their autumns in the spring

  Let them be told that the soul

Makes more beautiful flames

That all those sad assholes.

And we thank them

Let us tell them, we shout to them:

"Thank you for having lived"

Thank you for the tenderness

And too bad for your ass

that did what it could
