She was discovered on the TV show L'École des fans in 1980. She recorded her first single La Magie des surprises-parties in 1985. Although it was not a hit, it paved the way for the song with which she would become internationally famous - "Joe le taxi" in 1987, while she was still only 14 years old. It was #1 in France for 11 weeks and, unusually for a song sung in French, was released in the United Kingdom the following year, where it reached #3. It was taken from her first album M&J (it stands for Marilyn & John) which, although it gained a number 13 placing in France, drew little attention in the UK and did not chart.
In 1992, now 19 and working in the United States with rock musician Lenny Kravitz, who was her boyfriend for a while, Paradis began work on a new album sung in English, in which she had become fluent. Written and produced by Kravitz, the album, titled Vanessa Paradis, topped the French chart and briefly made the UK listings (number 45). One of the singles from it was Be My Baby, which made number 5 in France and gave her another Top 10 UK hit (number 6). She has since appeared in several films, most famously "Noce Blanche", for which she won the 1990 César Award for Most Promising Actress; 1999's La fille sur le pont (aka Girl on the Bridge), which became an arthouse box office hit in the United States; and 2004's Mon Ange.
Paradis currently released a new album (Divinidylle). There are three versions (regular, limited edition, and the Christmas edition). She started the Divinidylle tour in October. Some concerts were filmed and the DVD/CD of the tour was just recently released. Her latest film DVD release is La Clef. Also, Vanessa recently won two Les Victoires de la Musique awards for her new album Divinidylle. Some of her next projects include a greatest hits cd which includes the commercial jingle "I love Paris in the Springtime" as well as the movies "The Midwife Crisis" and "Un monstre à Paris April" which will be released in 2010.
Vanessa Paradis has been in a relationship with American actor Johnny Depp since 1998. They have a daughter, Lily-Rose Melody Depp (born 27 May 1999), and a son, John Christopher "Jack" Depp III (born 9 April 2002[3]).
Tu vois c'que j'vois
Vanessa Paradis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Toute la vie devant toi
Viens voir comme elle est belle
Je te fais la courte échelle
Regarde bien l’horizon
Regarde comme il est long
Regarde comme il est clair
C’est facile
Au signal
Tu décolles
Du sol
C’est facile
Même pas mal
Tu t’envoles
Dans le ciel
Non mais tu vois ce que je vois
Et est-ce que tu le crois
Je te jure c’est bien réel
Je te prête mes jumelles
J’en vois de toutes les couleurs
On dirait des petites fleurs
Viens voir comme elles sont vives
Oui fais la tentative
C’est facile
Au signal
Tu décolles
Du sol
C’est facile
Même pas mal
Tu t’envoles
Dans le ciel
N’aie pas peur qu’elles se brûlent Tes ailes
N’aie pas peur qu’elles s’emmêlent Ma belle
Elles ne sont pas fragiles
Tes ailes
Ma belle
Le ciel est dégagé
C’est le moment allez
Allez prends ton élan
Jamais ne redescends
Juste prends le vent
Plus rien ne nous divise
Bientôt dans le courant
Non n’aies pas le vertige
(Allez)
C’est facile
Au signal
Tu décolles
Du sol
C’est facile
Même pas mal
Tu t’envoles
Dans le ciel

The singer encourages someone, perhaps a friend or a lover, to see what she sees: a world full of wonder and colors, waiting to be explored. The imagery of the lyrics is vivid and evocative, with references to the horizon, the sky, and the colors of flowers. The central message of the song is one of hope and encouragement, urging the listener to let go of their fears and doubts and take flight.
The first verse sets the scene, inviting the listener to contemplate the beauty and potential of life. The second verse is more specific, urging the listener to take a risk and see the world from a different perspective. The chorus encourages the listener to take flight, assuring them that it is "easy" and "not even painful" to do so. The bridge is a final call to action, reminding the listener that the sky is clear and the moment is now.
Overall, the song is a celebration of life and its many possibilities, seen through the eyes of someone who believes in the power of dreams and imagination to overcome obstacles and unlock new horizons.
