I have a horrible habit of getting hooked on random bands, I've noticed.
Especially foreign ones.
My dad got this video emailed to him, of a bunch of airliners trying to land
on the world's windiest runway, in New Zealand.
(they have to be some damn good pilots. those planes were landing sideways!).
Anyway, they had what sounded like Irish rock music playing along with the video.
I got curious, looked up the band name...
turns out they're French, but that doesn't matter. They're still pretty awesome. =]
I found the actual music video for the song on Youtube,
and now it's my new multimedia. Whoot.
The first set of lyrics are of course, the original lyrics.
The second are supposed to be the translation. I'm not sure if it's right or not.

Lambe an Dro, by Matmatah.
Mélaouache Fanch!
Si tu cherches un peu de gaieté
Viens donc faire un tour à Lambé
Si aux exams tu t'es planté
Viens donc faire un tour à Lambé
Si t'as quelque chose à fêter
Viens donc faire un tour à Lambé
Y a du chouchen à volonté
Viens donc faire un tour à Lambé
Si t'as rien trouvé pour squatter
Viens donc faire un tour à Lambé
Si ton mec vient de te plaquer
Viens donc faire un tour à Lambé
Si du Bouguen tu veux te jeter
Viens donc faire un tour à Lambé
Si pour le mélo y a plus d'entrées
Viens donc faire un tour à Lambé
Si t'en a marre de galérer
Viens donc faire un tour à Lambé
Si dans le bus tu t'es fait choper
Viens donc faire un tour à Lambé
Si dans le bus tu t'es fait pécho
Deus da Lambé d'ober un dro
Si t'as de la beuh à partager
Viens donc faire un tour à Lambé
Et si t'aimes bien la marche à pied
Viens donc faire un tour à Lamb

I prayed for something I could never understand
The Sword of Shiva to deliver me to unimagined lands.
And there you were
I asked for something that could catch me by surprise
To leap into the belly of the beast to rip me up and bring me out alive
And there you were
Into your eyes
I'm falling rain
Into your eyes
A hurricane
Into your eyes
I'm coming home
I'm holding on
I'm letting go
Oh, I'm flying free
O'er the land of the prophecy
All my future below
Oh, I pledge my life
All I am to be by your side
Then you whisper that all you need of me
Is Just to Breathe
Initiation to the wisdom of the heart
An invocation know to humble men
And tear their worlds apart
And there you were
I prayed every night n'day for something to believe
Some brand of magic that could lift me up and bring me to my knees
And there you were
Into your eyes
I'm falling rain
Into your eyes
A hurricane
Into your eyes
I'm coming home
I'm holding on
I'm letting go
Oh, I'm flying free
O'er the land of the prophecy
All my future below
Oh, I pledge my life
All I am to be by your side
Sworn to love you as long as I shall breathe
In every other lover's eyes
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, all your life
In the line of duty we can never do enough
I am surrendered
I am ascended on love
I'm flying free
O'er the land of the prophecy
All of my future before my eyes and
Oh, I pledge my life
All I am to be by your side
Come and take me home
Oh my father's son
New reborn as the chosen one
Now he kneels at your feet
Oh, I pledge my life
All I am to be by your side
Come and take me home.
