Mika — Elle me dit

Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ? (Why are you wasting your life?)

Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ? (Why are you wasting your life?)

Pourquoi tu gâches ta vie ? (Why are you wasting your life?)

Danse, danse, danse (Dance, dance, dance)

Elle me dit « Danse ! » (She tells me “dance!”)

Late, late night treat!

Mika - Elle Me Dit

There’s not a lot of crossover in the US with other languages.  I think that’s a real shame because we miss out on a lot of great music. Although, every once and awhile a song is infectious enough that it makes its way onto our radar.

A few weeks ago, the British sensation Mika (of “Grace Kelly” fame), released this song in Europe along with a bizarre and yet adorable music video. I’m really loving how lyrically talented he is in multiple languages.

Mika is coming out with a new album in 2012 called The Origin of Love, which will be in English but will also feature some bonus tracks in French.

He’s also fluent in Spanish - who knew?

Ne t’inquiète pas si tu ne comprends pas les paroles - la chason est entraînante! (Don’t worry if you don’t understand the lyrics - the song is catchy!)
