Song in French

If you have read previous posts on this blog, you would probably know that I have been learning French for a while. My level in French is quite low, but I am trying to learn something new every day. Today, I am going to show you here a song I have listened to recently, and I was amazed because I understood a lot of it. I hope that this means that I am improving, even if it is slower than I would like. I am not in a rush to learn French, but it is very comforting to see some improvement from time to time.

Ma chambre a la forme d'une cage
Le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre
Les chasseurs à ma porte comme les petits soldats
Qui veulent me prendre

Je ne veux pas travailler, je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...

Déjà j'ai connu le parfum de l'amour
Un million de roses ne m'embaumerait pas autant
Maintenant une seule fleur dans mes entourages me rend malade

Je ne veux pas travailler, je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...

Je ne suis pas fière de ça, vu qu'il veut me tuer
C'est magnifique et très sympathique
Mais je ne le connais jamais

Je ne veux pas travailler, non, je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier et puis je fume...

And below is the English translation of this song.

My room has the shape of a cage
The sun passes his arm around my window
Hunters at my door, like soldiers
that want to catch me.

I don't want to work, I don't want to have breakfast
just want to forget it, and then I smoke

I had already known the perfume of love
A million roses wouldn't stun me so much
Now, one next to me makes me sick

I don't want to work, I don't want to have breakfast
just want to forget it, and then I smoke

I'm not proud of it, after seeing that it wants to kill me
It's great and very likeable,
but I don't know him.

I don't want to work, I don't want to have breakfast
just want to forget it, and then I smoke

Finally, you can listen to the song following this link.

What is love?

I remember a song from the 90's called "What's love?" by Haddaway. It is dance music, and I like to listen to it when I am running or doing some exercise because it is encouraging. The thing is that I never paid attention to the letter of this song, therefore I don´t know what love is.

However, in a second thought I am going to tell you about my idea of what love is. I am not going to write here a complex definition about how love mechanisms work, or discuss whether it is fate related or just some chemical reaction.
In my opinion, love happens when we stop being selfish, and start to worry about somebody else. That is basic love, and it is very simple to explain. Then, of course, there are different kinds of love. I am sure that you can find several classifications on the Internet, but the idea behind all of these kinds of love should be the same, the one I wrote above.
I like to write more in my entries on the blog, but I consider that I have nothing else to write about this subject. And I think that because sometimes less is more.
Well, just one more thing. In case you are interested in the song I mentioned before, you can watch the video here.
