Couleur de vie, couleur de joie
Où sont tes larmes, tous tes mots?
Et puisque t'en a marre de voir
Tous les gens souffrir
Cette notion trop simple et naïve
Parvenir à vaincre une loi
Loi invisible, si injuste
Si injuste, si sombre
Vis ta vie, elle est si belle
Vis ta vie, c'est la tienne
Vis ta vie, sans mensonge
Vis ta vie, comme tu veux
Couleur de vie, couleur de joie
Où est ce feu philosophique
Ton esprit condensé, pulverisé
Subtilé par toutes tes larmes
Vis ta vie, elle est si belle
Vis ta vie, c'est la tienne
Vis ta vie, sans mensonge
Vis ta vie, comme tu veux
Vis ta vie, elle est si belle
Vis ta vie, c'est la tienne
Vis ta vie, sans mensonge
Vis ta vie, comme tu veux
Où sont tes larmes, tous tes mots?
Et puisque t'en a marre de voir
Tous les gens souffrir
Cette notion trop simple et naïve
Parvenir à vaincre une loi
Loi invisible, si injuste
Si injuste, si sombre
Vis ta vie, elle est si belle
Vis ta vie, c'est la tienne
Vis ta vie, sans mensonge
Vis ta vie, comme tu veux
Couleur de vie, couleur de joie
Où est ce feu philosophique
Ton esprit condensé, pulverisé
Subtilé par toutes tes larmes
Vis ta vie, elle est si belle
Vis ta vie, c'est la tienne
Vis ta vie, sans mensonge
Vis ta vie, comme tu veux
Vis ta vie, elle est si belle
Vis ta vie, c'est la tienne
Vis ta vie, sans mensonge
Vis ta vie, comme tu veux

The Main Mix
Thievery Corporation = same song over and over and over and over and over and over
And it's so awesome!
At least this one produces some cool tunes. ; )
Mmmm...cheese
damn these people are boring
Your boring is my chill-inducing....some folks feel the need to mash the gas pedal from red light to red light, making lots of noise and smoke....others just are more inclined to cruise....
Choose to cruise, bro...the boring bits can fun too...
Profoundly superficial? That's a wee bit of an oxymoron...
TF often use this same French singer ( anybody know her name?) in their works, and as it's her native language I'd not have thought that the French lyrics were thrown in so as to add je ne sais quoi to the songs. I expect that she wrote them herself.. TF also use singers in other languages, and are very internationalist in their outlook, which fits in with their radical politics. This isn't one of their best songs - the reverb irritates a bit - but they're never less than interesting and eclectic. Which is why they find themselves played frequently on RP, I guess...
"Profoundly Superficial" does make a good band name though. Anyhow, as to your question about the singer: her name is LouLou Ghelichkhani; she's American-born, but I believe she grew up in France.
Your boring is my chill-inducing....some folks feel the need to mash the gas pedal from red light to red light, making lots of noise and smoke....others just are more inclined to cruise....
Choose to cruise, bro...the boring bits can fun too...
Good life advice

Very well stated! EXCELLENT TUNE!! Thanx RP!
Thievery Corporation = same song over and over and over and over and over and over
I feel the same way about the whole genre of Cumbia. But that's because I'm completely ignorant to it and have absolutely no interest in it.
Color of life, color of joy
Where are your tears, all your words?
And since you're tired of seeing
All the people suffer
This too simple and naive notion
Succeeding in defeating a law
Invisible law, so unfair
So unfair, so dark
Live your life, it's so beautiful
Live your life, it's yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, as you want
Color of life, color of joy
Where is this philosophical fire
Your condensed, pulverized mind
Subtitled by all your tears
Live your life, it's so beautiful
Live your life, it's yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, as you want
Live your life, it's so beautiful
Live your life, it's yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, however you want I only know one thing; you hold
My joy, my pain, in your hands
You are the breath, the link,
My child king, my magician
[Chorus] :
Nothing belongs to me
But to the south I'm coming back
Drowned in the hearts of crowds
It is in your river that I flow
When all the golden bridges crumble
It's your air that I get drunk
[Chorus]
Unknown territories
I walk through them, I include them
My country, my blood, my street
Are in your eyes, I saw them
Loulou:
Color of life, color of joy
Where are your tears, all your words
And since you're sick of seeing
All people suffer
This notion is too simple and naive
Defeat a law
Invisible law, so unjust
So unjust, so dark
Live your life, it is so beautiful
Live your life is yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, as you want
Color of life, color of joy
Where is this philosophical fire
Your condensed spirit, sprayed
Subtitled by all your tears
Live your life, it is so beautiful
Live your life is yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, as you want
For me: screaming down a double-black ski run with no one in sight, just enough light to see the bumps, and this blasting in the earbuds.
Ohhhh yessss! Love me some Thievery in the morning. Great memories, but can it really be from 22 years ago? 🥹
Yes ,you're not dreaming (22) - but still all these years there has never been a dull moment
Color of life, color of joy
Where are your tears, all your words?
And since you're tired of seeing
All the people suffer
This too simple and naive notion
Succeeding in defeating a law
Invisible law, so unfair
So unfair, so dark
Live your life, it's so beautiful
Live your life, it's yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, as you want
Color of life, color of joy
Where is this philosophical fire
Your condensed, pulverized mind
Subtitled by all your tears
Live your life, it's so beautiful
Live your life, it's yours
Live your life, without a lie

Live your life, it's so beautiful
Live your life, it's yours
Live your life, without a lie
Live your life, however you want I only know one thing; you hold
