Je Serais la by Ed Privat

---

The title we are discovering today is "Je Serai la" by Teri Moise, a Haitian-American French singer, that has become one of the most influential french-Soul artist of the 90's in France, with an album produced by Etienne de Crecy that sold 500 000 copies.

She always had very smart lyrics, she studied Literature at the Sorbonne in Paris, was a highly intellectual and discreet human being, a day dreamer like any introvert and probably a genius too.

I have always admired artists that manage to use french language, with its metaphors and complexity, without sounding too pompous.

Her biggest hit in France was "Les Poemes de Michelle" translated "Michelle's Poems", a song so rich and classy, that shows again how well versed she was in the art of Poetry.

After a Lawsuit with her Label Virgin (that she won), she had decided to stay away from the show business, admitting not understanding the fakery of the french music industry.

She passed away in 2013 in Madrid, in her hotel room, she was 43 years old. I won't talk about the circumstances of the death, I am only interested in her body of work, and the imprint she left on french Soul music, and music around the world. You can find more about her online [here](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teri_Mo%C3%AFse)

She wrote today's song for her child , beautiful gem of a song, I took the liberty to translate the lyrics for you in french, I hope you enjoy the song

Translation in english of "Je serais la"

Forget all of your mistakes and you fears I erase them And each step that you make I will fall for you My only pleasure is to offer you an ideal life,with no pain nor harm
I've discovered who I am Everything changed the day I gave you life And if the world is too harsh on you I'll always be there for you
May all your loved one be safe and build sincere friendship For you a realm where hate is the only foreigner I'll build up a world where everything will be fine You'll never be alone, or miss anything
I've discovered who I am Everything changed the day I gave you life And if the world is too harsh on you I'll always be there for you
I would like to know it all to give you a clearer vision Of this mistery that people call life My only desire is to offer you an ideal life, with no pain nor harm
I've discovered who I am Everything changed the day I gave you life And if the world is too harsh on you I'll always be there for you
