I stumbled across the French music channell on XM Radio: Air Musique a few days ago.

I've been tuning in every so often and keep hearing this Marie Mai song.
Kind of a catchy song that urges me to drive a few extra kilometeres above the speed limits even though I have no clue what their saying.

Does anyone know the song I'm talking about?
I'm curious to look up the lyrics and translate them to English.

Just to make sure I'm not rocking out to some chick that's the French equivalent of Pink

Merci!!

Found it.
I don't have an office so I couldn't check out the youtube vids earlier today.

Marie Mai is the artist
Emmene Moi is the title of the song

The girl looks like an improvement upon Avril Lavigne. Seems to have 10 times more attitude in this vid than Avril does. Still abit on the skinny aneorexic side. Needs some more curves.

Looked up the lyrics and did my damndest to read along with the song but gave up after 3 tries.

They don't translate into any man hating lesbian lyrics or anything too bubblegum poppish.

This feels like the first time I herd the German version of 99 Luft Balloons, when I was like 7 and just played the song over and over and over again.

I'm sorry it's friggin catchy.

French Lyrics

Emmène moi (emmène moi)
Emmène moi (emmène moi)
Ohhohhh emmène moi

Je pourrais rester là des heures
Te regarder, t'apprendre par coeur
Je pourrais rester là des heures
Dévorer chaque instant de bonheur
Je garde ton sourire dans chacun de mes souvenirs
Ces mots que tu sais dire enivrent mon corps de désir

Je pourrais rester là des heures
Te regarder, te savoir par coeur
Je voudrais partager ces heures
Tout près de toi et nulle part ailleurs
Je garde en souvenir ces moments qui me font frémir
Je veux t'appartenir 10 fois, 100 fois je veux te dire

{Refrain:}
Emmène moi avec toi, baby garde moi près de toi
Emmène moi avec toi, là-bas
Emmène moi avec toi, baby garde moi près de toi
Emmène moi avec toi, là-bas

Je pourrais rester là des heures
Dans tes bras ressentir ta chaleur
Penser à toi pendant des heures
Dévorer toutes ces nuits de douceur
Et même s'il faut s'en fuir au bout du monde je veux te suivre
Faire de toi comme une île mon paradis et mon exil

{au Refrain}

Je pourrais rester là des heures
Près de toi plus rien ne me fais peur
Je pourrais rester là des heures
Près de toi et nul par ailleurs

English translation

Take Me (takes me)
Take Me (takes me)
Ohhohhh takes me

I could sit here for hours
Te look, t'apprendre by heart
I could sit here for hours
Dévorer every moment of happiness
I keep your smile in each of my memories
These words say that you know my body enivrent desire

I could sit here for hours
Te look, you know by heart
I would like to share these hours
All around you and nowhere else
I still remember those moments that make me shudder
I want t'appartenir 10 times, 100 times I want to tell you

(Refrain:)
Take me with you, baby keeps me near you
Take me with you, there
Take me with you, baby keeps me near you
Take me with you, there

I could sit here for hours
In your arms feel your heat
Think about yourself for hours
Dévorer all those nights of sweetness
And even if it takes them flee after the world I want to follow you
Make yourself as an island paradise my and my exile

Refrain (at)

I could sit here for hours
Almost nothing more you make me feel scared
I could sit here for hours
Nearly you and no further

I can ask my friend. She said she is like the French Canadian version Of Avril..

It might take a day or so for her to get back to me.
