Rappelle-moi le jour et l'année
Rappelle-moi le temps qu'il faisait
Et si j'ai oublié,
Tu peux me secouer
Et s'il me prend l'envie d'm'en aller
Enferme-moi et jette la clé
Aux piqûres de rappel
Dis comment je m'appelle
Si jamais j'oublie, les nuits que j'ai passées
Les guitares et les cris
Rappelle-moi qui je suis, pourquoi, je suis en vie
Si jamais j'oublie les jambes à mon cou,
Si un jour je fuis,
Rappelle- moi qui je suis, ce que je m'étais promis
Rappelle-moi mes rêves les plus fous
Rappelle-moi ces larmes sur mes joues
Et si j'ai oublié, combien j'aimais chanter
Si jamais j'oublie, les nuits que j'ai passées
Les guitares et les cris
Rappelle-moi qui je suis, pourquoi je suis en vie
Si jamais j'oublie les jambes à mon cou,
Si un jour je fuis,
Rappelle-moi qui je suis, ce que je m'étais promis
Oh oh oh ooh
Rappelle-moi qui je suis
Si jamais j'oublie les jambes à mon cou,
Si un jour je fuis,
Rappelle-moi qui je suis, ce que je m'étais promis
Si jamais j'oublie, les nuits que j'ai passées
Les guitares et les cris
Rappelle-moi qui je suis, pourquoi, je suis en vie
Rappelle-moi le jour et l'année
Rappelle-moi le temps qu'il faisait
Et si j'ai oublié,
Tu peux me secouer
Et s'il me prend l'envie d'm'en aller
Enferme-moi et jette la clé
Aux piqûres de rappel
Dis comment je m'appelle
Si jamais j'oublie, les nuits que j'ai passées

Rappelle-moi qui je suis, pourquoi, je suis en vie
Si jamais j'oublie les jambes à mon cou,
Si un jour je fuis,
Rappelle- moi qui je suis, ce que je m'étais promis
Rappelle-moi mes rêves les plus fous
Rappelle-moi ces larmes sur mes joues
Et si j'ai oublié, combien j'aimais chanter
Si jamais j'oublie, les nuits que j'ai passées

Si jamais j'oublie les jambes à mon cou,

Si jamais j'oublie, les nuits que j'ai passées
Les guitares et les cris

Rappelle-moi le jour et l'année

La traduction n'est malheureusement pas à la hauteur de toute la poésie de ce texte. Dommage !

Thank you.
Remind me what day and year we are in today
Remind me about all the time that has passed
And if I have forgotten about all that
Only you can bring me back to life
And if someday I feel like getting away
Lock me up and throw the key
Inject me a booster shot
And make me remember my name
If someday I forget about all our nights
About the song of the guitar and all our screams
Remind me who I am
And why am I feeling so full of life right now
If someday I forget how to run away
And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow
Remind me who I am
And whatever I have promised to myself
Remind me about all my craziest dreams
Remind me about all the tears on my cheeks
And whether I have forgotten
How much I used to love to sing
If someday I forget about all our nights
About the song of the guitar and all our screams
Remind me who I am
And why am I feeling so full of life right now
If someday I forget how to run away
And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow
Remind me who I am
And whatever I have promised to myself
Remind me who I am
If someday I forget how to run away
And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow

And whatever I have promised to myself I
f someday I forget about all our nights

Remind me who I am
And why am I feeling so full of life right now
Remind me what day and year we are in today
Thank you.
Languages are repositories of meaning and culture, not just means of comminication. No language is 'better' or 'worse' than others, let alone "vulgar". Some are better suited to music than others, maybe, but all are equally valid, even the creole that is English. This was brought home to me forcefully when I worked in a university language centre, surrounded by native speakers of many languages.
Very beautiful song. The message breaks my heart.

I'm in love! That voice!!!....
…I wanna go get on my basket beach cruiser and toss flowers at all the ppl I pass by, blasting this. une artiste incroyable i lov..
the lyrics are absolutely powerful. a love song to her art, her life, in such a simple format. no grand light show, no theatrics, just a simple love song. makes me wish I understood french better than I do.
edit:
I just watched the video. you have to watch the video. it's even more powerful in that format. It makes it so clear that to her, music _is_ life, and love, and joy, and to take her music would be her death, and the song is an anthem to that.
All her songs seem to embrace that. She sings about life and joy and love, with life and joy and love.
And she's cute as all hell.
wow.

Your name bespeaks German heritage. Perhaps you might find Yiddish more melodious.
Personally I think Italian is prettier than French, but it's purely a matter of taste. Maybe it's because I can speak French but I can't speak Italian.

Just saw her live, and she is fantasctic, so much energy and generous.
just cuz she is hot doesn't mean the song is any good. . .

As French guy, I wonder how you could find this woman from USA !
Quite unknown in France at the moment.... and it's not really a loss !!! There are so many other French bands or singers more interesting and original !
But congrats for your curiosity

Female French singers always seem to have a husky or sandy voice... I wonder if that's the language itself or if it's more the style of vocals that are popular there. Or maybe with France still having some of the highest smoking rates in the West I wonder if it's something to do with smokers' voice or the exposure to it from touring.

Are you sure that she is quite unknown in France?
At least, this is what Wikipedia.de writes about her debut album:
"Zaz recorded the debut album named after her in the spring of 2010 in Québec and France. It reached number one in the French album charts and stayed there for half a year."
Apart from that: I really like her music, but I would also love if you could tell me some other interesting and original French bands and singers!

If I may allow myself...
Remind me the day and the year
Remind me how the weather was like
And if I've forgotten,
You can shake me
And if I suddenly feel like leaving
Lock me up and throw away the key
When comes booster time
Tell my name
If ever I forget, the nights I spent
The guitars and the shouts
Remind me who I am, why, I'm alive
If ever I forget the legs at my neck, (no good translation here, french expression, "prendre ses jambes à son cou" ("to take one's legs to one's neck" is to run away)
If one day I flee,
Remind me who I am, what I promised to myself
Remind me my wildest dreams
Remind me these tears on my cheeks
And if I've forgotten, how much I liked to sing
If ever I forget, the nights I've spent
The guitars and the shouts
Remind me who I am, why I'm alive
If ever I forget the legs at my neck,
If one day I flee,
Remind me who I am, what I promised to myself
Oh oh oh ooh
Remind me who I am
If ever I forget the legs at my neck,
If one day I flee,
The guitars and the shouts
Remind me who I am, why, I'm alive

Your name bespeaks German heritage. Perhaps you might find Yiddish more melodious.

She could sing about a particularly difficult bowl movement and it would still sound wonderful.

And if the wish to go away takes me
Lock me up and throw the key
To the picks of recall (vaccine...)
Say me how do i call me
If ever I forget, the nights I did live
The guitars and the screams
Remember who I am, why am I alive
If I ever forget the legs at my neck
If one day i flee
Remember who I am, what i did promise to me
Remember me my crazier dreams
Remember me these tears on my cheecks
And if i have forgotten how much i loved to sing

When I first heard this song on here, I instantly loved it. But, I had the bizarre feeling I had heard it somewhere before. Despite much Googling, and brain-wracking, I cannot find out if I have nor where. Does anyone else know where this might have cropped up before? A movie? An advert? A TV show?
Wow, I wish Zaz had been around when I was studying French at high school, all those years ago. Our class was lucky enough to be introduced to Barbara, and Gerard Lenorman, and Edith Piaf, and many others, and we would have all enjoyed Zaz, as well. Better late than never, thanks RP.

Though I do not know the meaning of the lyrics, this song always sounds like a hopeful prayer to me. I am uplifted each time I hear it. Zaz!
This kinda cutesy cartoonish millenial crap is bad enough in English
I don't know why, but I always enjoy hearing songs in languages other than my native tongue.
Perhaps it's because since I can't understand I'm relieved of the responsibility of understanding and responding to the meaning of the lyrics and can simply enjoy the sound of the human voice as I would any other instrument.

Just fell in love with this girl. Thank you RP for opening up YET ANOTHER amazing artist!
C'est juste "TOP" !
Merci RP

This is an extraordinary song. Even without knowing the meaning of the lyrics...It touches my soul.

As a frenchman, I would not have expected to discover french artists on RP. Thank you Bill.

Remind me what day and year we are in today Remind me about all the time that has passed And if I have forgotten about all that Only you can bring me back to life And if someday I feel like getting away Lock me up and throw the key Inject me a booster shot And make me remember my name If someday I forget about all our nights About the song of the guitar and all our screams Remind me who I am And why am I feeling so full of life right now If someday I forget how to run away And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow Remind me who I am And whatever I have promised to myself Remind me about all my craziest dreams Remind me about all the tears on my cheeks And whether I have forgotten How much I used to love to sing If someday I forget about all our nights About the song of the guitar and all our screams Remind me who I am And why am I feeling so full of life right now If someday I forget how to run away And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow Remind me who I am And whatever I have promised to myself Remind me who I am If someday I forget how to run away And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow Remind me who I am And whatever I have promised to myself If someday I forget about all our nights About the song of the guitar and all our screams Remind me who I am And why am I feeling so full of life right now Remind me what day and year we are in today
Thank you!
Remind me what day and year we are in today
Remind me about all the time that has passed
And if I have forgotten about all that
Only you can bring me back to life
And if someday I feel like getting away
Lock me up and throw the key
Inject me a booster shot
And make me remember my name
If someday I forget about all our nights
About the song of the guitar and all our screams
Remind me who I am
And why am I feeling so full of life right now
If someday I forget how to run away
And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow
Remind me who I am
And whatever I have promised to myself
Remind me about all my craziest dreams
Remind me about all the tears on my cheeks
And whether I have forgotten
How much I used to love to sing
If someday I forget about all our nights
About the song of the guitar and all our screams
Remind me who I am
And why am I feeling so full of life right now
If someday I forget how to run away
And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow
Remind me who I am
And whatever I have promised to myself
Remind me who I am
If someday I forget how to run away
And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow
Remind me who I am
And whatever I have promised to myself I
f someday I forget about all our nights
About the song of the guitar and all our screams
Remind me who I am
And why am I feeling so full of life right now
Remind me what day and year we are in today
Remind me about all the time that has passed
And if I have forgotten about all that
Only you can bring me back to life
And if someday I feel like getting away
Lock me up and throw the key
Inject me a booster shot
And make me remember my name
If someday I forget about all our nights
