De l'endroit d'où l'on vient
La mère et l'enfance ne sont jamais très loin
On a laissé les siens si souvent, partir il le faut bien
On apprend à dire "non" un matin
Moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
Je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
C'est bien mieux comme ça
Bâtir des murs autour de soi
Vouloir se protéger du froid
Tout ce temps qui passe on en revient pas
Quels sont ceux à qui je tiens ?
La solitude me va si bien
Mais si jamais l'amour s'en vient ça m'va
Moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
Je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
Je me fous des petits malheurs
Je m'en fous, c'est bien mieux comme ça
From the place where you come from
Mother and childhood are never far away
We've left our own so many times, we have to leave
You learn to say "no" one morning
I smile at the little pleasures
I smile, it's much better that way
It's much better this way
Building walls around you
I'm not sure what to do, I'm not sure what to do
All this time that goes by, we can't believe it
Who do I care about?
Loneliness suits me so well
But if love ever comes I'm okay with it
I'm smiling at the little joys
I smile, it's much better that way
I don't care about little misfortunes
I don't care, it's much better that way
Yeah! But her voice lacks something, age, experience? ... can't put my finger on it!
But there again, what would I know - I live in France and never heard of her! :/
In the ears of the beholder I guess, but I understand the last verse as
'I smile at small pleasures
I smile; it's much better like that
I don't care, it's much better that way'
Not really, and I only point it out because the meaning is way different:
I smile at small pleasures
I smile, it's much better this way
It's much better this way
Some information about her would be great. Anyone..?
Failing that, at least take down the town in Pakistan; you've got the wrong dame.
Soha, a French vocalist of Algerian descent, incorporates reggae, Latin, Algerian, and Jazz - she truly is a girl of her time, knowing no boundaries other than the limit of her imagination. The result is a fantastic album that feels so much more than just the sum of these parts. There is no sense of trying items from a shopping list on for size - instead she has incorporated these influences into her soul and her music is a natural expression of this. Like all gifted musicians, Soha has assimilated a diverse range of influences but comes out the other side sounding wholly original.

Rien à voir avec la chanteuse : "c'est bien mieux comme ça". = A méditer.
C'est quoi cette pensée complètement en dehors de la plaque ??
Must be a man so poor that he can't even afford to keep more than two french names in memory...
Et merci RP de nous faire découvrir autant de variété musicale.
Thanks to RP
Yes, same here!
Si La Photo Est Bonne....
Do you feel the same way about Boston accents? Long Island accents? Brit/Aussie? South African? Accents from my beloved South Carolina?
And, good sir/ma'am, her voice has plenty of energy, it's just the "simmering beneath the surface" kind of energy that took me years to recognize. Glad I finally did, though!
Same here, the accent is also something I can't get over in this case. And the lack of energy in the voice, I just feel like shaking her to wake up ^^
Pas du tout, mon pote!
Exactly, "le vent nous portera" and this song have nothing in common beside the fact that the lyrics are French !
I don't understand a word of it, but I like the rhythm.
We can not undo
the place from where we come
mother and child are never far away
was allowed from his too often, he must
we learn to say "no" morning
I laugh with the little pleasures
I smile, it's more like it
this is more like it
Building walls around you
want to protect themselves from the cold
all time passing on not return
what are those I want?
solitude suits me so well
but if love comes goes
I laugh with the little pleasures
I smile, it's more like it
I do not care about small mishaps
I do not care, it's more like it
I laugh with the little pleasures
I smile, it's more like it
I do not care about small mishaps
I do not care, it's more like it

Well, the hook translates roughly to "I don't give a f**k... it's just better that way". If that helps.

"J'ai le goût malheureux et cela me rend triste." :P
(Ok, maybe not, but c'est bien mieux comme ca ;) )
Wow, that seems like a lotta words.
Whoever she is, I definitely started channeling Gomez Addams. Splendid.
Gomez Addams - Funny
Ahh "PSD in french"
I only get about 4 out of 5 words, so I will be a smart ass instead.
it's better like that.
It depends how polite you want to be. It could vary from "Joue quelque chose d'autre" to "Assez de cette marde!". Ok tune in my opinion, even tough her voice is delicious.

Sorry about that - think my "num lock" was on, tho' I doubt that she would mind, having sold over 200,000,000 records.
I agree - very much so!
moi, je suis d'accord
Since I don't speak French,it's nice not being distracted by the lyrics.
It's just better that way.

I'm with Highlowsel on this one! I might add a doogie lying beside the ash tray.

Reading some of these comments... downright frightening.
Just this little song... and boooom: violence, ignorance.
What's the matter with you guys? Maybe this is not great music. But it's really far from being as bad as some claim it is.

Playing this song is equivalent to building the Maginot Line.. A bad idea...

I like it, it's just better this way

i also thought it was M.P.
My first thought was, "Is that Amy Winehouse singing in French?"
That intro made me think of Astor Piazolla, Cesaria Evora, and Manu Chao, all in just a few bars.
Yea, that album cover put a few more thoughts in me head as well.

Ditto.... My first time hearing her, but I will look for more of Soha.

I smile to my little pleasures

I do not mind small troubles
I do not care, it's better that way
I can must give her a 10 ...er, let´s make it 8 after a closer inspection.
That's about the size of it. Here are the lyrics courtesy of lyricsmania.com (in turn courtesy of the search link above):
on ne peut pas se défaire
de l'endroit d'où l'on vient
la mère et l'enfant ne sont jamais très loin
on a laissé les siens partir trop souvent, il le faut bien
on apprend à dire "non" un matin
moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
c'est bien mieux comme ça
bâtir des murs autour de soi
vouloir se protéger du froid
tout ce temps qui passe on en revient pas
quels sont ceux à qui je tiens ?
la solitude me va si bien
mais si l'amour s'en vient s'en va
moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
je me fous des petits malheurs
je m'en fous, c'est bien mieux comme ça
moi je souris aux petits bonheurs
je souris, c'est bien mieux comme ça
je me fous des petits malheurs
je m'en fous, c'est bien mieux comme ça
It's handy for me to read this with my rusty French, as a for un petit instant I was thinking she was singing about a mouse rather than smiling :o)
Now, based on the beautiful girl, the sultry voice, the sway in the song, I get two completely different mental pictures. Both of which are not allowed on this website. Love the song for that.
Don't want to know what the lyrics actually say. Hell, it could be a discussion about how to clean windows.
We can't get rid of where we come from
Mother and child[hood?] are never very far away
We have left our loved ones so often, to leave, we have to
We learn to say "no" one morning
I smile at the little joys
I smile, it's much better that way
It's much better that way
Building walls around yourself
Wanting to protect yourself from the cold
All this time that passes, we never come back
Who are the ones I care about?
Loneliness suits me so well
But if love ever comes, that's fine with me
I smile at the little joys
I smile, it's much better that way
I don't care about little woes
I don't care, it's much better that way
