J'imagine French version

[@bobnoob1467]

Je me souviens entendre cette chanson dans la première année. Je suis maintenant dans la 12e. Qu'est-ce que les années passent vite. Très belle chanson. Je suis fier d'être Canadien. St Jean D'arc avant, maintenant ESMB pour ma denière année.

[@AlexMoby]

Cette chanson est vraiment émouvante. Annie Villeneuve a une voix sublime. A certains moments, j'ai des frissons dans le dos.

[@mshayashi]

J'aime beaucoup cette cancion. Annie est une tremende chanteuse, j'aime beaucoup aussi sa voix. Mercio pour telecharger ce video.

[@francinemarcotte954]

Quels beaux souvenirs ces olympiques de 2010 alors que tous les espoirs etaient permis pour 2014, j ai imagine moi aussi! mais quelques fois, la vie nous reserve autre chose!

[@KangaKucha]

This is the most emotional song in my life ever.

[@Penguins1999]

Why do I find it easier to sing the French version than the English version when I don’t speak any French

[@plantsandfish7197]

May Morgan because songs are typically easier sung in its original form than its translated form. For example saying j’imagine 5 times is a lot smoother than saying I imagine 5 times.

[@frasermaximehotmail]

in English, it,s more ''square'' (do-re-mi fa-sol'' at the right time....) french is really ''emotional!!! BUT your impression is probably just because it sounds good for you, but maybe it,s gonna be understandable for french people (i don,t know if this word exist… what I mean; propably nobody will understand what you trying to say! :p )…… send me a record (i speak french) and i'm gonna let you know if...it,s ok or not…. (don't forget that ricky martin in anglophone and is a sucess in spanish ;)…. we never know… ;) The prononciation is SO different between french and English… (and normally, learn french is harder than English…)

j'adore ce chanson! nous avons l'appris l'annee pase a nous avons le chante avant un juge.

@mnat28 She won the Quebec equivalent to American Idol (Star Académie) a couple of years ago. She's well known in the francophone music scene, but amongst us Anglos, we had no idea who she was until this song.

@engrish2006 Thanks!! I've never heard of her.- she's got a great voice! Is she well known in Quebec?

[@sim60630]

She is relatively famous in Quebec. She has release 4-5 albums and was a semi-finalist of the show Star Académie back in 2003, a french candian equivalent of canadian's idol. One of her best song in my personal opinion is un ange qui passe.

@3intranet Je t'aime le version en francais. And I cannot even speak French, je habite en Suéde :p

@mattmax11 That's because the French lyrics are different from the English ones, so when translated, they're not the same as the English version.

[@hayleyandken]

@Th3ch0s3n0n3s thank you

[@daphnealjona6468]

0:16 to really start :3

[@StellaBellaOla]

@clwgirl510 I know, but I would have preferred a less literal translation. Phrases like "....I choosed to do" make no sense. "I do it and I feel great!" doesn't exactly have the same tone that comes from the song. I feel like this was done quickly and not given a lot of thought.

[@bigboykldaudiosounds3756]

Came From PoopooGarret Arena Audio System :D

[@StellaBellaOla]

I know that, I speak French. My issue is that, for all practical purposes, translation is not literal. It is not useful to anyone to translate things literally, there are many phrases that could have been chosen instead of the strange and incorrect ones I mentioned earlier that would be a true translation, just not 100% literal.

[@hayleyandken]

Est ce que Annie ou Nikki a chante cette chansons en premier? Sorry for the mistakes English is my first language

Et c'est super avec les paroles, mais il faut s'assurer de ne pas faire de fautes en écrivant, et s'assurer que la traduction est précise. Il y a plusieurs fautes de traduction et des fautes de frappe.

[@engrish2006]

@Coolgirl4462 Nice bilingualism in one sentence. ;) It's actually: Je suis fier/fière d'être canadien/ne; pas d'un article défini, et "canadien" n'est pas capitalisé lorsqu'on l'utilise comme adjectif. :)

"The English traduction" lmao I'm laughing it's "translation" not "traduction" but gr8 video

[@supercrazy5857]

Does Nikki Yanofsky do this version too?

[@gabrielledavis5267]

«J'imagine» is a projection in the future, just like the meaning of the word imagine in English. "I believe" translated in French would be «Je crois» which is less attractive, especially for a song. I guess the matter is, it's not poetic enough.

[@ChristopherMallonMusic]

@kreyenn It looks a lot like a Google translation. Very literal hehe.

[@dancemomseditzzzz]

Wow

[@CelebertySecret]

You have the translation all wrong....I speak French and just because the lyrics are French, doesn't mean they are the same in English...!

[@okpapereat]

im not talking about american winning a gold medal in hockey i am talking about the russians, and dont judge me for liking team russia. they have the skills to do it. they are stacked on the team, Ovechkin, Kovalchuk, Syomin, Malkin, Afinogenov, Kalinin, Nikulin,Zinoviev, Zaripov and many other fantastic player in the KHL. sure canada won against team russia last year but thats because they where not mentally ready and not be able to focus. In the 2008 olympics russians did beat team canada

i dont know why i am getting so many thumbs down for my previous comments it is true, why do we have to think canada is the best? because of nationalism? well this is just dumb pride. Do you guys not see that there are other nations out there like sweden, finland, russia, czech republic who can very well win gold medal in hockey but not just hockey though. I think most canadian including you dont see any countries out there just canada. WE ARE NOT ALONE IN THE HOCKEY WORLD. Thats facts

and right now the russians are developing well they have a good program. a good league like the khl now with the nhl lockout in place they can compete against top russians in the nhl but also learn from the players in the nhl this improve players. if i give you chance to play with crosby, stamkos or nhlers would you not improve when they give you tips and even nhl coaches coach in europe. too paul maurice coaching magnitogorsk. yea you can say he sucks but it still help the league and players

[@Emma-yn4qs]

hahaha Yeah...

[@okpapereat]

the world juniors is also a way you can see what russia has done over the years. they have beat team canada twice now over the last 2 year. one year they came back from a 3-0 deficit to win 5-3. you have to give props to the russians and not say they where lucky to win, because i bet if i reverse the psychology you would not say it was lucky would you. then last year world juniors they lost again to Russia.

who translated this? hahaha

[@okpapereat]

canada is working hard but all they got is bronze, but not even close to come to china or the us. Do you think if a canadian swimmer works hard like train every day that they beat michael phelps i dont think so. training hard does help a bit but its the question do you have it in you to beat the most decorated Olympian ever thats another story

[@ChristopherMallonMusic]

I think the translations were a little too literal and lose the poetry of the original French. A common problem in translation. P.S. As a musician, I really like the French version of this song far more than the English one, and it has nothing to do with the singers and everything to do with the backing track.

[@okpapereat]

and im not saying for all times that they cant hold leads but to blow a 3 goal lead with 20 minutes to go... thats just unacceptable pro or amature, but russia was the better team for the last 20 mins, no cheat just pure skill

Sorry Canada... I don't believe, it's just it's ignorance to believe that canada is the best when there are amazing athletes all around the world. It could be Germany taking most gold it could be Russia. To say just Canada you guys can say nationalism I don't see it that way.

[@linnyya]

...Did you really just say what I think you did? Your ignorance is outstanding. Someone's nationality has nothing to do with their skill or talent in a sport. The only difference it makes is in the amount of funding they might receive towards training and the number and quality of opportunities available to them. Besides, for all the supposed American superiority that you imply, when was the last time the US won a gold medal in men's hockey? My point exactly.
