about

Obviously this is the French version of "Paris of Love" so all the same stories apply. However, special mention should go to Iris Gardet-Hadengue who worked tirelessly with me on the translation of these lyrics. This was one of those cases where the translation does not mean exactly the same thing in both languages. Iris is actually from Paris, France, and felt the chorus would be more "natural-sounding" if the meaning of the words changed a bit. The translation back to English would be something like, "In an enraged Paris where Love is the Law, it's never enough. I need you." Incidentally we left "Anna please" as we couldn't find a proper French equivalent that made any sense and also realized that anyone from Paris would know that English word. And again, there are mirror videos for these songs made at Digital Canaries Sets + Studios in Hamilton, Canada.

This cast photo of the Paris shoot was taken by Simon Winterson at Digital Canaries Sets + Studios in Hamilton, Canada.

lyrics

Course contre le temps.
N’est jamais en avance.
J’ai gâché ma vie sans ta présence.

Dans Paris enragé où l’amour fait la loi.
Ce n’est jamais assez, j’ai besoin de toi.

On s’est connu comme si depuis toujours.
Seul reste le doute. J’ai le coeur lourd.

Dans Paris enragé où l’amour fait la loi
Ce n’est jamais assez, j’ai besoin de toi

Anna, please. Anna, please. J’ai envie de toi.
