An anglophone's attempt at writing a francophone bedroom indie bop.

Hey y'all! My name's Kaela Cordero. I'm an artist based in Toronto, Canada.

I've been studying the French language intently since the 5th grade (shoutout to Ontario's Extended French program) and have continued well into my 20's. Last spring, I had the opportunity to study with the Explore program at the Université du Québec à Montréal. During that time, I wrote a poem for my exam and turned the lines into the verse of a song.  There are a handful of grammatical faults, but the song's heart is all there.

The lyrics are as follows:
Mais la chaleur
L’espoir sorti de son lit
Repandu dans tout mes entrees
Pendant que tu m’eblouis

J’suis sortie hier soir
Avec un chanteur que j’ai vu au bar
Il m’a achèté un boisson
Un "baiser sur le plage”
Il m’a donné son numéro
Maintenant, c’est tous que je pense à propos

On a promené à son apartement
Sur la rue St-Urbain
Ça serra un secret
Il ne voulu pas tenir ma main

Écris moi un chanson cheri
Avec les paroles desquels décrirent
De l’amour
De la douleur
De l’ame

Je me promesse moi-meme que je ne tomberai pas amoureuse
Je lui ai deja juré
Que nous ne tomberons pas amoureux
Mais il a joué sur mes cordes de coeur
J’ai brisé ma promesse

Pire, j’suis captivé
De t’aimer encore encore
On va nous aimer encore encore
T’es chaleureux
