Would you like some cornflakes?
 
Here's a video. I was introduced to this song a year or so ago by my ex boyfriend. (Ah! the French... Gotta like them) I LOVE IT!!! I have no idea why. I wanted to share it with you, but first I had to go through and translate it. I'm proud of myself for it.

In My Place (or... in my shoes, rather)
By Axel Bauer and Zazie

Would she be in my shoes stronger than a man?
At the end of these dead ends where she leaves me
Living hell or dying on the field
Should I go that far to please her?
Could it be I make it?
Could it be we are forgiven?
Could it be we are loved
For what we are?

Does he walk in my shoes sometimes
When my wings fold
And my islands are drawn?
I bend under the weight
Of this half-woman
He wants me to be
I can be the beauty but not sleeping in the woods
I can be the queen but not the king's shadow
Should I give up?
Should I bleed
to make him love me
For what I am ?

Could he do
(Would she do)
Open the door a little
(At least a step)
Could he do again
(Another try)
A move, a step
(A step toward me…)

I don't expect you to be the same
I don't expect you to understand me
Only that you love me for what I am

Does she sometimes go in my shoes?
What should I do to make her see me
Living in hell, dying in the field?
Do you want me to be what I am not?
I can try to look in the eyes
But silence is dead and yours freeze me
My soulmate look for the mistake
The more I lose blood, the more you are afraid

Should I tell you
(I don't ask anything)
The blurry water where I roam
(Where you go? where you come?)
Should you really know?
Everything you're hiding
(Deep inside me)
Deep inside you

I don't expect you to be the same
I don't expect you to understand me
But only that you love me
Only that you love me
For what I am

When I doubt
When I fall
When the road is too long
When sometimes I am not
What you expect me to be
What do you want us to do about it?
What would you have done if you were me?
