 It's alright.
Thanks for the translation! It seems like she learned just enough French to write very simple lyrics. |

yes 
it seems that she's gone in paris (see photos in the booklet) and, to laugh about his (certainly) ignorance about this famous, best, unbelievable (hem sorry, i stop) she composed this song with "survival" words and sentences . 
I hope she will persevere ! 
nota : hey nellie, one of your songs has a music which is very similar with a music i've composed 20 years ago !!! 
ouaaaah it makes me feel bizarre

I will try, if I can have a moment to make that  , to translate "mein auto zooms" , but I don't have the german lyrics, I must hear nellie , who have an accent too , so "it's not for tomorrow" (= "ce n'est pas pour demain", french expression)  but...maybe this sunday ? who knows ?
glop glop ! |

i've seen that crhysb has made an attempt to translate lali est paresseux.
it was a good debut.
If someone have the german song lyrics (mein Auto Zooms), I can translate, I try to understand the accent of Nellie  but there are much missing lyrics , so I don't give for the moment the result. I attempt to have a better quality of sound to try to make that.
but I can say to you that she proposed to go in a cinema, in the song...
what a suspense ! |

I don't have the lyrics or know of where they can be found, and the best version I've heard of it live is in the Media section in my main folder.

That's bound to make more sense than "Are you smoking tonight?"
Of course she asks about having ice cream too, so maybe she wasn't meaning cigarettes. |

sure that the songs (and the french song, even she seems simple) of nellie mckay seem to have more degrees of reading.
I've notice that with the David, a litteral transition is not worse the figurative sense of the lyrics.
do you smoke tonight ?

True.

I always interpreted that one as being her most literal song. After all, it was about a real guy she had a crush on.

No. I don't smoke cigarettes and I haven't been able to afford the other stuff for a long time.

I can imagine Nellie supporting prostitutes.
That didn't come out right.
What I meant was I can imagine her being in support of rights for sex workers as well as decriminalizing those professions in the countries where it's still illegal and therefore very dangerous for them. |

ok, my french is more than a little rusty, but this was my attempt at a translation (pretty close to yours):
are you having ice cream tonight?
it's time to leave tonight
yes, have a seat tonight
i don't like that much tonight
listen, please, tonight
it's time to leave tonight
are you smoking tonight?
i don't like that much tonight
yes, show me the way tonight
lali is lazy
yes, show me the way tonight
lali is lazy
is it authentic?
i don't know
show me the right way to the store
i love that tonight
are you having ice cream tonight?
it's time to leave tonight
yes, have a seat tonight
i don't like that much tonight
yes, show me the way tonight
lali is lazy
yes, show me the way tonight
lali is lazy
nellie's and my understanding of french grammar might not be perfect, but from what i can piece together, i think this is what she meant. |

I'm french but my english conjugation is fair, since many years, I don't know when I can put "do you have" or "have you" or "having you" ice cream tonight....
If you can give exemples...

in french, this situation don't exist, but we have particular things that are difficult for an english sorry, for an "unitedstates citizen" (except for a cajun)
thanks for this information about do you have, are you having
(it's a problem only for the first)
for "have you" it is the litteral translation of the french "avez-vous". No more used because it's -maybe- too...french |

Lali is a female first name, so, officially. The paresseuZ we can hear in the song is right (paresseuse). So, in the official cd's booklet, the used ajective is male (in the same order than the difference beetween the words master and mistress).
I've suggested, a long time ago, that Lali was a dog, so it's a female dog.
Or I don't understand the meaning of this song, if there is a signification, of course. |
