french music

[Mirona]

would love an option to have translated subtitles for the music. as many of us cant speak any french but want to know what the lyrics are about.

so far my personal number 1 request

[Rayza]

Agreed, the music sounds good but i have no idea what they're saying so it's less impactful

[Toonen1988]

The songs are all on Spotify with the lyrics.

thats great and all but i would prefer ingame optional subtitles so i can experience the game as much as a french speaking person.

In how many games have you seen this feature?

I wish! I’m obsessed with the bop that is Goblu but Spotify won’t show me the lyrics! 😭

I don't think you are missing that much without the lyrics. I haven't played the game yet but I listen some parts of the OST. The main song Lumière is partly sung in latin (I guess) and even the french lyrics are not easily understansable for french speakers especially if you're playing at the same time. Also there are songs in english as well.

Not that many games put the music forward that much

This is true, it's not all French, that's also what I notice.

lyrics?

real men play monoco on repeat

[Frou-Frou]

Some songs really have lyrics that add value to the story when we meet certain characters.

The encounter with the Paintress in front of the Monolite:

Once you understand the story, the lyrics of the song take on their full meaning:

The song Aline, when we meet the Paintress :

"Get out and run away, I beg you
Run away from this cursed painting
This canvas of a false life

Dream portrait
Imperfect
Chain of your freedom

So cut through the web
Discover the sinister sketch

Get out and run away, I beg you
Run away from this cursed painting
This canvas of a false life"

Lyrics can be found via google. Various lyrics use a made-up language or a mix of that made-up language and either French/English. You can easily use something like Deepl, if needed, to translate the French lyrics found via Google, displaying song lyrics in the game would make little sense, it would be too distracting, also, there is music in the game virtually all throughout.

You are very welcome! :-D

I'm a native French speaker and I will find very hard to translate with accuracy most of the songs in English. Some songs are very poetic, something most non-human translators will have issue with. One of the problem I have is, I know roughly the story but have not played the game yet. For me even if I understand all the words, some songs doesn't make any sense because of the way the song is written (it's not in the way we normally speak). I would perfectly make sense for non-French speakers to not understand the meaning of the songs.

Only the first part of the song is not written in French. This first part is a mix of French and latin words, a reference to Paris "The City of Lights" (Lutece) and a lot of gibberish word that look like latin words but they aren't.
