Ma Meilleure Ennemie (ENGLISH COVER) | EKKO and Jinx Song Dance

[@wonder_music]

I'm STILL not okay after watching that. So many requests for me to cover this song! Thank you for the absolute outpour of love for this adaptation! I can't believe we got to see the glimpse of what could've been and then they took it away from us.... and them. That's what real art feels like I guess. Heartwrenching. I hope I managed to capture the essence of the amazing song by Stromae and Pomme! It's very hard to do it right, but the emotion is there - I promise I poured all my heart and pain into it.

[@MirokuTheme]

Don't worry, you did a fantastic job with this cover. This is just as good as the original. The refrain is even better in English imo. For some reason it feels different for me, and i love it. Make this song viral everyone

[@Niki-rc1tc]

This is an amazing adaptation, it captures all the love and pain of the original. Can you put this on spotify 🙏🙏❤

[@JoOsan]

Upload on spotify pls

[@ptp923]

But this is Ekko and Powder Song dance

[@KirillWerwolf]

Amazing

[@tejirie.9861]

I absolutely love how this isn't a direct translation more of a localization of how the song would go for English audiences.

[@wonder_music]

thank you so much, that is so nice to hear

[@DrSwazz]

That's the challenge of translating a song - still has to rhyme, fit syllabically, and keep the same meaning.

[@neil2444]

@@DrSwazz And in essence, this is what you want to see. Music is felt, not understood, and the lyrics must match the former more than the latter. A perfectly translated song would sound awful.

[@DrSwazz]

@@neil2444 Very true!

[@Cutie-buddy]

And yet still the french version is better

[@Evah-y8h]

I'm a native French speaker and I wanna say: thank you! You did an AMAZING job of conveying the emotion and the message of the song! It's so hard to do and still keep the melody right. You used different words sometimes, but I feel like it only ADDED to the already PERFECT song. My personal favourite line you added is "a familliar heartache". What a beautiful way to put what Ekko is going through. Thank you for this.

[@realracing3specter295]

thanks... i keep thinking, its so off... might have some translation errors. but wow...

[@RichardmpayiTnway]

Why are you lying they did not translate the song wel

[@orcus9368]

I feel like they might have changed some of the lyrics because of you were to just sing it normally it doesn’t flow well

[@grismatics]

like i commented just now, as someone who doesn't speak french: the original song made me cry, and this cover made me understand why i cried.

[@grismatics]

@@RichardmpayiTnway a lot of covers do this thing where they adapt the MEANING of the original lyrics without directly translating it. this is the way, i think. convey the meaning, but don't just directly translate it unless it just so happens to fit perfectly in the language of the cover.

[@cephelapoid3466]

"Your my enemy and my light, darkest night, the curse of you and I". I'm sure this resonates with a lot of people who have come to love this song.

[@DeniseWolfsong]

Love how she translated this line, different words but same meaning and such a beautiful image

[@skyfire54546]

All three of ny exes i hate them but i love them😢

[@snowy_gateaway7583]

"The perfect kind of weakness, the sickly kind of sweetness" is a perfect translation! Not word for word from the original, but it has the same feeling and vibe, and it rhymes too!!

[@wonder_music]

I'm so happy you like it! One of my favourites lines I adapted as well! Along with "Curse of you and I".

[@theheavenlyfb4071]

Literally had the nearly perfect life with zero consequences for not going back, yet he gave it all up for the life that he knew. Ekko truly is in a class of his own.

[@reeseking-hill6732]

"Jayce went through hell but Ekko renounced heaven"

Ok please. Ekko is a hero we all agree. But in his situation, you would have left your true family and your true friends ?

[@NiGhTAnGeL22]

Hello, I am French and I obviously really like the version of Stromae et Pomme but I also really like your version. You really managed to convey the emotions that this song gives me in my native language. Thank you for this song, I would even say for this tribute. There are already a lot of covers in different languages ​​and honestly yours is by far the best I've heard!

[@wonder_music]

Thank you SO MUCH for this comment 💖 I appreciate it so much as I really tried to do it justice.

[@juliahough2609]

The amount of effort it takes to keep the same impact and emotions in a song when it's translated... Wow. You nailed it. This is perfect.

[@bishwhat5194]

I LOVE this adaptation. It does exactly what an adaptation should: adapta and expand. I LOVE the original but this is a gem. The words flow so organically, the message of the song being conveyed through different words, but the emotion stays the same. I love how she added Ekko’s time travel to the mix! Stellar job!

[@Star-Wayz]

'Maybe if we can turn back time, we'll survive... The curse of you and I' omg this is amazing 😢❤

[@ardaqless]

Omg! This is the best cover in English with a closer translation and without losing the original idea and meaning of the song. Great job, and a great voice!

[@cee_ves]

love how you throw in that “if we could turn back time” line. although it’s cliched, it really works with ekko

[@maciejpawe3700]

I cried immediately after getting to the chorus, I am always doubtful of covers that are in a language different than the original, but this is literally perfect. Thank you Wonder, I couldn't ask for more

[@SkyFallenNerolin]

omg, what a great cover and this male voice. sounds like it could be really ekko who is singing it. i wish this song is on spoty. i want to hear it up and down ^^

[@neon_honkai]

YES he sounds just like how I imagine ekko would if he ever sung💗

[@brandavijey1175]

The cover is actually available on Spotify!

@@brandavijey1175 now but not at the moment i write the comment

[@aivarizhtml]

I’m too stunned to speak. The way you sound exactly like original made me slip into French every time you started singing. That’s an amazing adaptation of lyrics combined with masterful singing and visuals. Your makeup is phenomenal in this clip.

[@wonder_music]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you guys like it! The make up wasn't easy haha :D

[@karlarodriguez1723e]

i genuinely love how this isnt an exact translation word for word and more of a rewrite as if it was originally in English. the translated version would never be as meaningful as they made this. beautiful work!

[@fredi9204]

I can't speak French. Watching Ekko and Powder dance to the song, I felt I knew every word. And you wrote the words down here and sang them beautifully, and they were just like I felt.

[@Clockwork312]

[@insipidlipid]

Maaan, i didnt know the lyrics in english and that hurts now. Really well done cover. Im gonna go be sad now!

[@crossfire7874]

These lyrics are rather different than the French ones!

[@Cryogenius333]

@@crossfire7874 Sounds that rhyme when sung in French dont rhyme in English, so they adapted the words while maintaining the same meaning.

You can see her love for the original in the way she did this. I appreciate the way this song flows so naturally in English and yet she gives us such amazing additions like “the curse of you and I” or “the perfect kind of weakness, the sickly kind of sweetness” ARE YOU KIDDING ME

[@Scaryanimall]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@crossfire7874A word for word translation would sound janky it still holds the same meaning just makes more sense in English

@Cryogenius333 yes, I'm aware! I just wanted to make mention since both lyrics are different yet same in context :)

[@grismatics]

i'm not a native french speaker, but DAMN this version just FEELS accurate to the original in the phrasing of the lyrics... the original made me cry, and this version made me understand why.

Hands down my favorite song from the soundtrack. This is sick 🔥🔥🔥

Ouch. Even a week later, this still hurts... even more so hearing an adaptation of it that I actually understand. Well done.

[@aiiiia9971]

I had no idea the lyrics were this bittersweet, now I wanna cry

[@letyl4330]

"Oh why does it hurt so much, To hear your name, a familiar heartache." My god, this is so GOOD!! I love your interpretation! So many callbacks! "You are the best thing that ever happen t’me But also the worst thing to ever come my way" but then adding the "seconds" to the next line to refference Ekko "Should’ve kept my cool and leave, every second of my day I spend time regretting calling out your name" Also the "name" part hits different when we know that later in the song there is a mention of it. Jinx or Powder? Probably Ekko asked himself that too.

[@XFerginatorX]

Powder dancing like it's just a normal day having fun unaware for Ekko that this will be a moment he will cherish for the rest of his life and never forget. 😢

[@deanmiah4186]

The French version was something amazing even though I did not understand the language, but to listen to English version… ohh wow… My song for the year and probably the decade… a dozen lovers flashed through my mind ❤💔

Great cover! When I understood the meaning of the song, I start thinking all songs in Arcane take their places for the very good reason.

[@KravenZoro]

Good god, I thought I would be disappointed with an English version but y’all kept the essence but embellished it with your English cover

[@aniasoko7831]

THE COMPLEXITY IN THIS? Thank you Wonder for the waterfalls!!! „The perfect kind of weakness The sickly kind of sweetness” 😳 „Maybe if we could turn back time We’ll survive, the curse of you and I” “Oh why does it hurt so much To hear your name, a familiar heartache. Hate or long to feel your touch It’s all the same Taste what could’ve been oh Leave me out here We’ll dance again in my dreams Better for you to move on It is not our time” ????? It’s so goooood!!!

Cudowny taniec i relacja ekko-powder, przepiękna piosenka. Najlepsza z arcane. Sezon 2 takie piękne utwory nam przyniósł, co odcinek miałem inny, nowy ulubiony. Myślałem że tylko w wersji Francuskiej ma to taką moc, a Twój angielski cover też brzmi świetnie, jak oryginał. Tak samo chwyta za serce, zwłaszcza jak zrozumie się tekst. Idealne do posłuchania po dziurze jaką zostawiło skończenie się arcane'a. Zastanawia mnie tylko kto śpiewa kwestie Ekko, mega dobrze mu wyszło.
