Natasha St. Pier: Un ange frappe à ma porte ("An Angel is Knocking at My Door").

"Un signe, une larme ................................ A sign, a tear
Un mot, une arme ................................ A word, an arm
Nettoyer les étoiles ................................ Cleaning the stars
A l'alcool de mon âme ................................ With the liquor of my soul

Un vide, un mal ................................ A gap, a pain
Des roses qui se fanent ................................ Wilting roses
Quelqu'un qui prend la place de quelqu'un d'autre ................................ Someone taking somebody else's place

Un ange frappe à ma porte ................................ An angel is knocking at my door
Est-ce que je le laisse entrer ? ................................ Should I let him in?
Ce n'est pas toujours ma faute ................................ It's not always my fault
Si les choses sont cassées ................................ If things are broken up
Le diable frappe à ma porte ................................ The Devil is knocking at my door
Il demande à me parler ................................ He wants to speak to me
Il y a en moi toujours l'autre ................................ There's always that other
Attirée par le danger ................................ Risk-taking one in me

Un fil, une faille ................................ A thread, a fault
L'amour, une paille ................................ Love, a straw
Je me noie dans un verre d'eau ................................ I'm drowning in a water-glass*
Je me sens mal dans ma peau ................................ I don't feel good about myself

Je ris, je cache ................................ I'm laughing, hiding
Le vrai derrière un masque ................................ Truth behind a mask
Le soleil ne va jamais se lever ................................ The sun will never rise

Un ange frappe à ma porte ................................ An angel is knocking at my door
Est-ce que je le laisse entrer ? ................................ Should I let him in?
Ce n'est pas toujours ma faute ................................ It's not always my fault
Si les choses sont passées ................................ If things are all behind us
Le diable frappe à ma porte ................................ The Devil is knocking at my door
Il demande à me parler ................................ He wants to speak to me
Il y a en moi toujours l'autre ................................ There's always that other
Attirée par le danger ................................ Risk-taking one in me

Je ne suis pas si forte que ça ................................ I'm not that strong
Et la nuit je ne dors pas ................................ And at night, I can't sleep
Tous ces rêves ça ne m'aide pas ................................ All those dreams are no good to me

Un enfant frappe à ma porte ................................ A child is knocking at my door
Il laisse entrer la lumière ................................ He lets the light in
Il a mes yeux et mon coeur ................................ He has my eyes and my heart
Et derrière lui c'est l'enfer ................................ And behind him, I can see Hell

Un ange frappe à ma porte ................................ An angel is knocking at my door
Est-ce que je le laisse entrer ? ................................ Should I let him in?
Ce n'est pas toujours ma faute ................................ It's not always my fault
Si les choses sont gâchées ................................ If things are ruined
Ce n'est pas toujours ma faute ................................ It's not always my fault
Si les choses sont cassées ................................ If things are broken up
Ce n'est pas toujours ma faute ................................ It's not always my fault
Si les choses sont gâchées ................................ If things are ruined"

Gérard Manset is one of the best french songwriter of the last 30 years. He isn't popular because he is very secret (no tv or stage) and too sofisticated for the actual standards.

But what a shame!
More seriously, you're not alone in that case but nevertheless French stage is very active.

This seems like a good place to post this. There was a french pop song I heard forever ago, I don't remember the singer's name, but her song was called "C'est la guerre", and I really enjoyed it, but I can't for the life of me find it again.

I really like Francis Lai's soundtrack to the 1966 film Un Homme et Une Femme. Really nice and moody chanson style songs with strong bossa nova influence.

A strange detail is that one of its songs, "Ajourd'hui c'est toi" has been chosen as the theme song for current affair TV programs in UK, Brazil, and Finland. Weird that the same has happened in three countries.
