We got to work with TWO of my favorite producers on this track. The day of the session, Philip Etherington helped direct the musicians and figure out the flow of the song. And then Jeremy Most worked his magic on post-production and mixing.

Lyrics (French / English)
Allez / Come on
Regarde-moi / Look me
Dans les yeux / In the eyes
Si t’as pas peur / If you’re not afraid
Mais si t’as peur de tout / But of course you’re afraid of everything
Je suis ton ennemi mortel / I am your mortal enemy
Mais Sainte Vierge / But Holy Virgin
Quand tu iras au ciel / When you get to heaven
Tu penseras à moi / You’ll think of me
En te touchant / When you touch yourself
Oh oui / Oh yes
Angélique / Angélique
Angélique / Angélique
Si je t’embête / If I bother you
C’est pas pour être / It’s not to be
Méchant mais non / Mean, of course not
C’est parce que ça me ronge / It’s because it gnaws at me
Ton innocence impénétrable / Your impenetrable innocence
C’est moi le diable / I’m the devil
Mais quand tu iras au ciel / But when you get to heaven
Tu penseras à moi / You’ll think of me
En te touchant / When you touch yourself
Angélique / Angélique
Sauve-moi / Save me
Alors vas-y / So let’s go
Donne-moi ta main / Give me your hand
Fais voir ton rêve Américain / Show me your American dream
Ton pouvoir utopique / Your utopian power
Mais je dois te dire / But I have to tell you
Que la perfection fais pas jouir / Perfection won’t get you off
Et quand tu iras au ciel / And when you get to heaven
Tu penseras à moi / You’ll think of me
Alors quand tu iras au ciel / So when you get to heaven
Tu penseras à moi / You’ll think of me
Keep it nice and quiet at the top. Okay. 1, 2, 1... Angélique Come on Look me In the eyes If you’re not afraid But of course you’re afraid of everything I am your mortal enemy But Holy Virgin When you get to heaven You’ll think of me When you touch yourself Oh yes Angélique Angélique Angélique If I bother you It’s not to be Mean, of course not It’s because it gnaws at me Your impenetrable innocence I’m the devil But when you get to heaven You’ll think of me When you touch yourself Oh yes Angéliq
ue Angélique Angélique Save me Angélique Save me Angélique Save me So let’s go Give me your hand Show me your American dream Your utopian power But I have to tell you Perfection won’t get you off And when you get to heaven You’ll think of me So when you get to heaven You’ll think of me Angélique Angélique Angélique Oh, Angélique Angélique
Comments
Fun fact: I lost my voice after doing the screamo bits at the very end 🤣. Let us know what you think of Angélique. (I think she’s pretty epic.)
Horrible in it's desperation, beautiful in it's vulnerability. Good work!
gives me blonde redhead vibes. one of the best songs i've heard in a while.
WHAT!? i've been chilling here listening to all your decade old songs just to find out you make beauties like this in french. oh my gosh i've been missing out, i love french music as it's the second language i learned and i have always appreciated the emotion in french songs but this is truly one of my best finds. i am so happy that one of my favorite english musicians also sing in french ahhh
J'écoute en boucle cet ange pris dans un irrésistible crescendo diabolique. Ta voix est inouie, Nataly, et les musiciens ont assuré du feu de Diable! Une incandescente réussite! ❤️🖤
yes!❤ more back up singers please 🙏
This song, arrangement, recording, and video give me goosebumps like you all did in the early days. 🤗
Vraiment très joli et original, bravo !
is this the Jean Marie's spin off?
some serious witchcraft you have on the studio to produce this masterpiece, this is amazing guys keep it up
OMG that was absolutely amazing!
Don't understand the lyrics but still can feel the music!
Haven’t tuned in for awhile, still great! Merci les amis!
I phucking love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been almost fifteen years since I first fell in love with Nataly's voice and Jack's truly distinct way of mixing and instrument use. Although in recent years I haven't kept up, this song made me fall in love with Pomplamoose all over again. Beautifully and wonderfully done.
très belle! j’ai habité au Québec, et malheureusement je n’ai pas écouté beaucoup de musique en français depuis, donc c’est une bonne gâterie pour l’écouter!
Ive been a silent listener for years. You guys were basically a good CHUNK of my childhood. Dont ever give up if you dont see expected results. What you do is godsend, its passion, its art.
Im so glad i went on youtube that day in 2009. Every time you put out a new anything i always feel like i struck gold
1:17 When you get to heaven, you'll think of me by touching you... Oops, french song undoubtedly
now that's a song. simple, catchy and charming like the old time bangers.
