Lyrics to Paris :
ברחתי למקום אחר כל כך מהר הכי רחוק שרק הצלחתי ואני בפריז
האורות רכים אפור ועננים אני שמחה וטוב לי אבל כל כך קר לי בפריז
מסתובבת סחור וסחור בסמטאות קסומות מכושפות בולעות אותי אני בפריז
בנינים יפים אתם זקנים ואצילים כל כך אבל האם תחממו ואתי בפריז?
HMM HMM
באתי עד לכאן להסתנוור קצת אשליה יפה שלי נסי לתפוס אותי אני בפריז
שוב הולכת לאיבוד חלום עצוב אני כבר מפורסמת ושומעים עלי כאן בפריז
עכשיו הקול שלך לוחש לי מרחוק אני מתגעגע בואי תחזרי אלי כבר מפריז
אני אוהב אותך אני אוהב אותך אני אוהב אותך אני אוהב אותך ופריז
HMM HMM
אם כל כך טוב לי פה אז למה שוב אני בוכה ומשתגעגת?
Oui je suis si heureuse alors pourquoi la nuit je pleur
מתגעגעת בפריז
שמש מאירה אותי מהחלום ועוד מעט ארגיש כבר את החום אממ לאן המטוס נוחת ואין כבר עננים האושר מחלחל כבר לתוכי שלום פריז
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I fled to a different place
So quickly
The farthest away and I succeeded
I am in Paris
Lit candles
Gray and foggy
I am happy and it’s good for me
And it’s so good for me
In Paris
I wander around ...סחור?
In enchanting narrow alleys
I am spellbound
It sucks me in I am
In Paris
Beautiful buildings
They are old
And so very noble
But the country lights me up
In Paris
Mmm...
Fair from my house in Paris
I came here
A bit disenchated
This beautiful illusion of mine
A trial to catch up with myself in Paris
Again I disappear
A sad dream
I am famous already
And they hear me here
In Paris
Now your voice
It whispers to me from far away
I miss you
Come return to me
Already from Paris
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you
And...Paris.
Mmm...
Far from my love in Paris
The country is so good to me here
So why do I cry and get upset?
Yes, I am happy
So why do I cry at night
I miss you...from Paris
Mmm...
The sun wakes me up
From the window
And I feel the warmth a little more already
Mmm...
The plane lands
And there aren’t any
Lush and trickling clouds
I’m back again
Shalom Paris
Yael Naïm (Hebrew: יעל נעים), is an Israeli singer-songwriter of French-Tunisian parents. She rose to fame in 2008 in the US after her hit single "New Soul" was used by Apple in an advertising campaign for its MacBook Air. The success of this song made her the first Israeli solo artist to have a top ten hit in the United States. The song peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Yael Naïm was born in Paris on 6 February 1978 to French and Tunisian Sephardi-Jewish parents. At the age of four, she moved with her family to Ramat HaSharon, Israel, where she spent the rest of her childhood. She served in the Israel Defense Force as a soloist in the Israel Air Force Orchestra.[1] She began her singing career with a part in the musical Les Dix Commandements[2][3] and her first solo album, In a Man's Womb (recorded in Los Angeles with Kamil Rustam), was released in 2001. She also sang the song "You Disappear" by Bruno Coulais for the film Harrison's Flowers. In her early work she was credited simply as Yaël. She also performed a duet with Din Din Aviv titled "Mashmauyot".[4]
Naïm joined with percussionist David Donatien, and over a period of two years they arranged and recorded thirteen of Naïm's songs in a studio in Naïm's apartment in Paris,[5] and these were released as her second album, Yael Naïm, on 22 October 2007, on the Tôt ou tard label. The songs are in French, English, and Hebrew and received critical acclaim,[2] and the album entered the French album chart at #11 the week after its release. Her style has been described as having a touch of folk and a touch of jazz, with mysterious and evocative words sung with a delicate and intentionally husky voice [6]
In January 2008, Apple featured her song "New Soul" in its debut commercial for the MacBook Air laptop. Steve Jobs himself picked the song "New Soul" for the launch of the MacBook Air.[7][8] Owing to high U.S. digital sales, the song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart week of February 16, 2008, at #9, becoming Naïm's first U.S. top ten single, and making her the first Israeli solo artist to ever have a top ten hit in the United States. "New Soul" moved up to #7 the following week. The song was also featured on the soundtrack of the movie The House Bunny.
