Je veux la même chose que toi

Donne-moi juste un peu de temps

J’suis désolé pour les fantômes

Désolé pour les fantômes 

Hé ! Moi, je suis bel et bien là

Je veux la même chose que toi

Je t'attends sur le lac, chez Maison Lactali

I traveled to America from lake Annecy

Was looking for a state of land and sea

Did not expect a lake house quite honestly

But here I am at Maison Lactali

Je veux la même chose que toi

Donne-moi juste un peu de temps

J’suis désolé pour les fantômes

Désolé pour les fantômes 

Hé ! Moi, je suis bel et bien là

Je veux la même chose que toi

Je t'attends sur le lac, chez Maison Lactali

Lake sights are beautiful 

Every season unique

The atmosphere relaxed and quite chic

We promote the love of nature & mankind

For my love of Madam Lactali  I am proud 

(*) a voice cover of a song by Benoît Dorémus,
      with the Concierge modified lyrics

When growing up you always wonder
What are the proper rules and order

And what my role or calling is
Can someone help me with this please?

  
Ce n'est pas tant qu’elle m'embarrasse
Cette question qui me lasse
Et qui me renvoie toujours
A la presence de mes amours

Je viens juste de comprendre
Pourquoi la chose est essentielle
Dans cette époque artificielle
Ma réponse ne peut plus attendre

It’s time to figure out my path
and find out what my calling is
and then one night when deep in bed
I heard that whisper in my head:

Hey toi, 
Tu deviendras un grand concierge
Hey toi,
d'une grande maison, pas d'une auberge

When growing up all parents wonder
What education is in order
And ask to answer for them please
what your role or calling is ?

Cette chanson je vous l'annonce
Sera mon unique réponse|
réponse d’un concierge authentique
Un francophone en Amerique

Or just a random set of steps
That got us here, eventually?   

Je vous remercie, 

de me donné une belle vie 

No one truly knows for sure
What it was that shaped our way:
The universe, our hopes, our faith,
Or a fluke that chose to play.
But deep inside we strongly feel
It was always meant to be.
So we thank the universe
And all of those who set us free. 

Je vous remercie, 

de me donné une belle vie

(*) a voice cover of a song by Alex Beaupain, with the Concierge new lyrics  

A strong team, focused and skillful 

Built a venture that’s quite successful.

Doing good, and earning respect

From all the lives they now affect.

It’s a rare and difficult aim:

To find a balance one can sustain

Doing business while giving back

To those with little, or simply bad luck.

Laisse-les danser seuls,

loin de ta prison dorée.

Laisse-les danser seuls,
Et tracer leur nouvelle destinée.

Every journey has its highs and lows,
Moments of triumph and heavy blows.
Keep your eyes on the road ahead,
Stay your course, don’t be afraid.

It’s your duty to shape and guide 

The people you lead, leaving no one behind

Let them grow, and play their part,

And support them if they wish to depart.

Laisse-les danser seuls

loin de ta prison dorée.

Laisse-les danser seuls,

Et tracer leur nouvelle destinée.

What began with hope and drive

Helped so many grow and thrive.

Not just income, but purpose and flame

And a legacy that lives through their name

Laisse-les danser seuls...

(+) a voice cover of song by Orlane, with the Concierge new lyrics  

Chéri, this is my life story
Pas grand choses, no fame and no glory
A concierge that navigates the world
With complex dreams and simple identity
Challenged with cities, they suffocate me
In love with Nature, vistas and waters,
senses and colors.

Late bloomer, took me time to figure out

Who I am, and what is that I like

Love of nature - Les grand espaces,

Kayaking a lake is such a class

Traveling the world is very chic

Now a Francophone en Amerique

Adapting new ways to better blend-in

and grow a thicker skin 

I got layers, you got layers, we got layers,

All our flavors and our layers blend together

There's not one right way to be

More than what the eye can see

Cause, all these layers, keep us warm and make us be 

When they tell me "you're a stranger",
I say  merde זה לא בסדר
My culture is part of who I am forever
Come here, relax, behave, prove that
Lord knows, how hard is switching worlds
So, tell me where you're from
Where you're really, really from

Citoyenne du monde, concierge of the world
Dans ce grand mélange,
know where you belong
European roots are a source of fun
France, Espagne et les Balkans
French vanille avec la voix de miel,
Salad de chevre chaud, et glace sous le gel

I got layers, you got layers, we got layers,
All our flavors and our layers blend . . .
 

(*) a voice cover of song by Naika, with the Concierge modified lyrics  

Oh, a big city morning wakes again, to a another, crazy day.

Traffic everywhere, dense pollution in the air.

Everyone’s exposed out there, but no-one seems to care. What a chaotic mess!
Should you look for something else?

Remind yourself, you better run away, so pack your things now!

It’s time to take a break, to new beginnings.

Amazing sunsets on the lake, all across the lake

And bright yellow red skies in your horizon

So be present, Every day and night.

Changer de vie, sur Lac Tali, changer de vie

Oh, it was a long journey to the lake, with many twists and turns, to get settled and lay back

Hier encore, comme toujour

Je t’aimais beaucoup

Chez Maison Lactali

C’était notre rendez-vous

Et j’espère que demain

On retrouvera là

Chez Maison Lactali

Où le temps n’efface pas

With the cycles of nature

A lot that is known

The four yearly seasons

Or when a new year is born

Daily sunrise and sunset

Daily high and low tide

But when hit by an earthquake

There is no place to hide 

Hier encore, comme toujour . . . 

And the rhythms of love

Are so key to survive

As you need love around you

To feel good and alive

Yet love is so fragile

When being assumed

So nurture it daily

And keep it well-tuned 

Hier encore, comme toujour . . . 

I cherish nature and love, my wife, my family

And repeat as a mantra, Lactali Lactali
