1. Laïs is a Flemish folk group featuring the voices of Jorunn Bauweraerts, Nathalie Delcroix and Annelies Brosens. The inspiration for their songs comes from old song books. Their style can best be described as a modern take on medieval songs.
The band was formed at the music workshop Volksmuziekstages in Gooik, Belgium. The well-established Flemish folk band Kadril noticed the girls singing a capella and took them on tour as their support act. While touring with Kadril Laïs built up a small fan base with their a capella songs. Their first CD featured appearances by Kadril, but later the girls would find their own musicians to complete the band. Today Jorunn, Nathalie and Annelies are joined by Fritz Sundermann (electric and acoustic instruments, harmonium), Hans Quaghebeur (squeezeboxes, hurdy-gurdy, whistle), Ronny Reuman (percussion) and Bart Denolf (electric and acoustic bass).
2. Lais is a Canadian R&B singer and rapper, who stormed onto the scene via Reddit’s HipHopHeads when his first mixtape Session One went viral on the platform. After deciding to dive into producing and songwriting as a way to pass the time while being on house arrest he rediscovered his love & passion for music & fashion. Born in Pakistan, but having moved to Virginia at the age of 3 and again to Toronto at the age of 13, Lais has been able to tap into a unique variety of cultures, aesthetics, and sounds from his own life experiences all while telling his story.
3. Leys , born Leslie in Verdun France, is a french rapper. After starting rapping at the age of 16, she quickly gained attention and started being invited at France's biggest hip hop radio to freestyle.
She gained notoriety during her participation in Nouvelle Ecole, Netflix's french version of rap competition Rythm and Flow. She made it to the finale, arriving at number 2 behind belgian rappeur Fresh with whom she collaborated later. She is still, to this day, the only female rapper who made it this far in the competition.
In march 2024, she released her first EP simply selftitled 'LEYS'.

Laïs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Captivé dans tes yeux
Qui m'a l'ame ravie dans sourir gracieux
Viens donc me secourir
Ou me foudra mourir
Viens donc me secourir
Ou me foudra mourir
Si je suis prés de toi
Dans tes yeux je regarde
Je me perd dedans moi
Car tes perfections changent mes actions
Approche donc ma belle
Approche-toi mon bien.
Ne me sois plus rebelle puisque mon coeur est tien
Pour mon mèle apaiser
Donne-moi un baiser
The lyrics above are from the French song "Belle" by Laïs. The song describes the singer's infatuation with a woman who holds his life captive in her eyes. He is enchanted by her grace and seeks her help, indicating that he will either live or die based on her response. The singer is confused by the woman's ambivalent behavior towards him, as he cannot understand why she would reject him when he is so close to her. Despite her ambivalence, the singer continues to plead with her to come closer, to ease his spellbound heart by giving him a kiss.
The song's central theme is the powerful grip that love can have on a person. The singer is helpless in the face of this woman's beauty and charm, and she holds the key to his emotions and his life. The lyrics are romantic, but also tinged with a sense of danger, as the singer hints that he may die without the woman's aid. The song is sung in a gentle, melodic style that emphasizes the tenderness and vulnerability of the lyrics.

Belle qui tiens ma vie
Beautiful one who holds my life
Captivé dans tes yeux
Captivated by your eyes
Qui m'a l'ame ravie dans sourir gracieux
Who stole my soul with a gracious smile
Viens donc me secourir
So come and rescue me
Ou me foudra mourir

Pourquoi fuis-tu mignarde
Why do you run away, my darling
Si je suis prés de toi
When I am close to you
Dans tes yeux je regarde
In your eyes I look
Je me perd dedans moi
I get lost in myself
Car tes perfections changent mes actions
Because your perfections change my actions
Approche donc ma belle
Approach me, my beautiful one
Approche-toi mon bien.
Come closer, my dear

Don't be rebellious anymore since my heart is yours

Belle qui tiens ma vie
Captive dans tes yeux,
Qui m'as l’âme ravie
D'un sourire gracieux,
Viens tôt me secourir
Ou me faudra mourir.(bis)
Pourquoi fuis-tu mignarde
Si je suis près de touai,
Quand tes yeux je regarde
Je me perds dedans mouai,
Car tes perfections
Changent mes actions.(bis)
Tes beautés et ta grâce
Et tes divins propos
Ont échauffé la glace
Qui me gelait les os,
Et ont rempli mon cœur
D'une amoureuse ardeur.(bis)
Mon âme voulait être
Libre de passions,
Mais Amour s'est fait maître
De mes affections,
Et a mis sous sa loi
Et mon cœur et ma foi.(bis)
Approche donc ma belle
Approche, toi mon bien,
Ne me sois plus rebelle
Puisque mon cœur est tien.
Pour mon mal apaiser,
Donne-moi un baiser.(bis)
