Lyrics with rough translation.

Je suis cet homme heureux  | I am this happy man
Qui a l'air amoureux | Who looks in love
Cette vieille et ce vieux | This old woman and old man
Qui s'aiment du bout des yeux| loving each other from the eyes

Je suis cette inconsciente | I am this unthinking girl
Qui risque 3 mois ferme | risking 3 months of jail
Et cette femme impatiente | And this woman eager
D'arriver à terme | to be full term

[Chorus]
Je suis celui d'en face | I am the one from across (the street)
Et celle d'à coté | and the one from beside
Je suis celui qui passe | I am the one passing by
A proximité | nearby

Je suis cet enfant sage | I am this good kid
Qui ne sait pas jouer | Who doesn't know how to play
Et cette femme sans âge | And this ageless woman
Aux joues colorées | with colored cheeks

Je suis ce père tranquille | I am this quiet father
Qui surveille sa fille | keeping an eye on his daughter
Et cet homme quelque part | And this man somewhere
Qu'on bat ou qu'on fusille | beaten or executed

[Chorus]
Je suis celui d'en face | I am the one from across (the street)
Et celle d'à coté | and the one from beside
Je suis celui qui passe | I am the one passing by
A proximité | nearby

Je suis ce vagabond aussi rond qu'un ballon | I am the vagrant round like a ball
Qui n'est pas à l'abri d'un ultime rebond | not safe from a last rebound
Je suis ce garnement qui ment comme il resquille | I am this racscal, lying and finagling
Cette femme fragile que trop vite on déshabille | This fragile woman, too quickly undressed

Je suis ce fou à lier | I am this mad as a hatter
Qui sourrit sans arret | who keeps smiling
Et cet autre qui rit | and this other one who laughs
Juste pour ne pas pleurer | only not to cry

[Chorus]
Je suis celui d'en face | I am the one from across (the street)
Et celle d'à coté | and the one from beside
Je suis celui qui passe | I am the one passing by
A proximité | nearby

[Chorus]
Je suis celui d'en face | I am the one from across (the street)
Et celle d'à coté | and the one from beside
Je suis celui qui passe | I am the one passing by
A proximité / nearby

Je suis celui d'en face | I am the one from across (the street)
Je suis celui qui passe | I am the one passing by
Je suis. | I am.

Aww, I'd love to watch the vid but YT won't let me. :(

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

awww sorry !!
Youtube is really a pain in the butt regarding audio copyright in Germany ! (I don't know what is wrong with Germany, but most of the time, it's the only country where the video is blocked ! I feel for you my friends !)

So anyway, I just uploaded it to Vimeo. It takes them some time to make videos available, so count an hour and it'll be available here: https://vimeo.com/53526586

[camellie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's no fun to be on YT nowadays. At least not in Germany.

Thanks a lot, hon!! *sits down and waits*

[camellie.livejournal.com]

I watched it! It's beautiful! How to fall in love with Tim DeKay. :D

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

thanks ! Isn't he cute indeed ?

[suebsg9.livejournal.com]

great vid aragarna.

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Thanks ! :D

[sholio]

I just wanted to say thank you again!!! This is so wonderful, and you managed to fit in clips from SO many different shows and movies! This is exactly the Tim vid I've been craving. Thank you for making it for me!

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome ! I'm sooo happy that you like it. :D
And thank you for your donation for the Sandy Charity !

And it gave me ideas, so I might make more in the future !

[dennih23.livejournal.com]

This is wonderful.

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Thank you ! Tim is wonderful. ;-)

[melles76.livejournal.com]

Thanks for making it available on Vimeo, since YT doesn't work for Germany. It's great. It surely was very time consuming putting the right scenes together. And they match perfectly. It was a great pleasure watching Tim in all those different roles!

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

thanks ! It was actually very fun to try and think of all the scenes that would match. To be honest, I selected them mainly from memory. Re-watching everything would have taken me forever !

[kerrylang.livejournal.com]

Thanks for uploading it to Vimeo, it's so beautiful, I wouldn't have wanted to miss it because of stupid GEMA.

You did a wonderful job including all the roles from Tim.

He is such a wonderful actor but I love him most in White Collar ♥

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Thank you !! <3 He sure is a great actor, and it's only when you watch his other roles, sometimes so completely different that you realize his talent.

I hadn't realized that so many fans were German. ^^ I should have posted it directly on Vimeo LOL

[love-82.livejournal.com]

This was great! I loved how you included scenes of him doing the same thing in the different shows. Well done. :)

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Thank you ! eh eh yeah, I found it funny !
