When I was little, and first heard this song, I knew maybe 10 words of the French language. My little brain wanted to understand why she was saying "To do, to do, to do some more" and the rest of the song was in French. I apparently didn't have the deductive reasoning skills enough to realize that what I was hearing was actually French.
I love playing with words. The title of this blog, "Two Deux Some More", is a few things. First of all, it is Two, and Deux, because of Spark and Silvanus. As this is mostly a twin blog, I felt a play on the number two appropriate. Second it is a look back to my childhood, just how innocent it all seemed, and how much we thought we knew. Finally, it is a tribute to a song that has always been in the back of my mind. It's English lyrics are a little confusing, but the point gets across - go slowly, love simply, take care of the little ones; all things I look forward to doing.
All slow, all slow, all slowly
Always, all slow, all slowly
This way
Life is amazing.
All slow, all slow, all slowly
Always, all slow, all slowly
This way
Life, I understand it.
Never go too fast
You got all the time you need
Beware of the dynamite
Take care of volcanoes
Of those young nervous ones
Who don't know how to go
All slow, all slow, all slowly
Always, all slow, all slowly
This way
Strolling prettily
Never go too fast
Loving simply
To get success
Be very very cautious
Love will then come
And snuggle up in your arms
All slow, all slow, all slowly
Always, all slow, all slowly
This way
Strolling prettily
Smiling prettily
Strolling prettily
All slowly
Pretty song. :)
