She turned 23 on Thursday, and already she's cranked out more hits than most of us ever will. That's Béatrice Martin, who goes by the stage name of Coeur de Pirate (heart of pirate). "Comme des enfants," the song featured here was a hit across most of the French-speaking world in 2009, and deservedly so. A fetching song.
It begins:
The second half of the second verse:
Et on se prend la main, comme des enfants
Le bonheur aux lèvres, un peu naïvement
Et on marche ensemble, d'un pas décidé
Alors que nos têtes nous crient de tout arrêter
Le bonheur aux lèvres, un peu naïvement
Et on marche ensemble, d'un pas décidé
Alors que nos têtes nous crient de tout arrêter
It translates something like this:
we hold hands, like children
Happiness on the lips, a bit naïvely
And we walk together, with determined steps
So that our heads scream we should stop everything undefined
So happy birthday ... joyeux anniversaire, Béatrice! Here’s wishing you many more years of creative success.
