After a huge success at the most famous French Festival in Bourges in 2004, Amélie-les-crayons then won the 2 Prizes of Montauban French Chanson Festival. In july, Quebec offered her the renowned Felix Leclerc Prize for her work and 6 months later, it was Belgium who congratulated Amélie with the Charleroi Festival Great Prize. The album "et pourquoi les crayons ?" released in June sold about 30 000 copies in a year, which is rather exceptional for a French independant band.
Sweet and serene in real life, Amélie metamorphoses on stage: the young girl becomes an astonishing show girl! And the boys show a great talent for playing the piano, tuba, clarinet (Heiko), accordion (Michel) or double bass (Laurent).
Ta p'tite flamme
Amélie-les-crayons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y a cette petite flemme qui crie, qui brule et qui brille,
Juste un regard pour comprendre
Que c’est dans tes yeux que je me sens le mieux,
Just un sourire pour te dire que j’ai besoin de toi
Reste et regarde moi.
Y a quelque chose du bonheur dans ta voix qui vibre,
La reponse de mon coeur ce qu’il se sent libre
Libre d’être moi quand tu me serres dans tes bras,
Libre de vivre un amour qui m’apprend tous les jours.
Quand je suis loin, je pense à toi à ta petite flemme
à tes yeux et je me sens mieux.
Quand je suis loin, je pense à toi à ta petite flemme
à tes yeux et je me sens deux.
Y a quelque chose d’universel dans notre histoire
Une petite est un seul pour bien plus qu’un soir,
Puisque tu veux me donner ta main .
Pour tout le temps qu’on sera bien
Puisque tu veux partager mon chemin
Moi je dis oui pour le tien.
