Help Me Name This Song!!! (knowledge of French is a plus!)
STRIPTEASE. NOT SAFE FOR WORK. STRIPTEASE.
Now, with that out of the way, does anybody know the name of the song playing in the video and who sings it? If you know French (it sounds French), perhaps you could Google some lyrics from the song? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Low Quality Video - 8MB High Quality Video - 52MB

it's too fast for me logan, i'm out of practice. but it's definitely french. i'd put the artist as a moroccan / tunisian. i haven't spoken / listened to realtime french in a long time...pm martian and see if he can't follow it. i think he does french...

i recognized a bunch of french words in what i could get through of the clip.
and the cadences were familiar. my french is not up to verlain, but its possible that is what'd explain the difficulty in translating much of anything. i admit that i couldnt do more than a few minutes of it, though, because its too early in the morning for such a thick wall of cheese.

holy crap - how did i forget roach for french? foolish little pig i am.
mexican: no offense intended, but i definitely recognized some french in that. as i said, the voice sounds north african to me, so with the crazy french youth doing their ticy and whatnot, perhaps it's a variant of french from n. africa? i could easily be wrong; perhaps it's another language variant very similar to french, but it sounded a lot to me like the collaborative stuff i've heard from iam and ntm with artists from further south on the other side of the med.

alot of french hip hop lyrics are built around reversing the first and last syllables of words (that's verlain)--sometimes i can figure it out, sometimes i cant--depends mostly on how long the string is--the more verlain in a string, the harder it gets for me (because you reach a point where you either know it or you dont and cant rely on context to decipher stuff).
but i am not sure about the clip. it sounded like a creolized french. verlain plus maybe elements from a north african dialect. hard to say. too much cheese.

ok, so it might be but it's so fucking far off from french that noone speaking normal french will be able to help you. I speak canadian french(ontario and quebec) and I watch france-french movies all the time with no problems of understanding. this is just too far off. sorry. what website did you get it from? it would be a good idea to ask them? but the writting seems to be russian. i dunno.
and to the ones who can find french words in it, tell me what you hear!! actually, if you go to the chorus(where the beat picks up) 1:06. they repeat the line a few times. see what you can hear from this. i can't get a single french word from this.

i think that a parisian would know better. verlain is street slang. someone who smokes or smoked has would know. or someone who is really into hip hop.
i know about a bunch of creole versions of french, but knowing about them and being able to translate them (much less function in them in 3-d) are very different. or i could be wrong.

I'm trying to get ahold of 2 friends online - being a holiday weekend and this being the first time I've noticed this. it is NOT Moroccan french - that much I can tell you - I speak enough of it to know - and it has an arabic twist to it (moroccan french). The one I'm betting on is Portuguese - making a bunch of you listening semi correct as it has its roots both in french and spanish. (I heard words from both in there, that what has me guessing Port.)
If its Port - I should be able to have the artist and song identified within 48 hours, just have to get a hold of my friend Monica and don't know what shes doing this weekend. |

I'm with MexicanonABike. I speak Quebecois French and this isn't even decipherable to me. It does sound vaguely romantic, but unless it's some weird pidgin I wouldn't call this French. Portuguese is a much stronger possibility, but unfortunately that's not a language I know, so I can't help you.

they remind me abit of hoba hoba spirit.
even if this is wrong, they're still kinda interesting. the creole lyrics are kinda mad in a similar way--there's french, english, morroccan dialect, arabic and other stuff flying around. the difference is that i can hear that the underlying language is morroccan arabic and i think the base language in the clip is french. anyway, these folk are apparently the New Big Thing in morroccan pop.
