Music  @  Lactali

Je veux la même chose que toi

Donne-moi juste un peu de temps

J’suis désolé pour les fantômes

Désolé pour les fantômes 

Hé ! Moi, je suis bel et bien là

Je veux la même chose que toi

Je t'attends sur le lac, chez Maison Lactali

I traveled to America from lake Annecy

Was looking for a state of land and sea

Did not expect a lake house quite honestly

But here I am at Maison Lactali

Je veux la même chose que toi

Donne-moi juste un peu de temps

J’suis désolé pour les fantômes

Désolé pour les fantômes 

Hé ! Moi, je suis bel et bien là

Je veux la même chose que toi

Je t'attends sur le lac, chez Maison Lactali

Lake sights are beautiful 

Every season unique

The atmosphere relaxed and quite chic

We promote the love of nature & mankind

For my love of Madam Lactali  I am proud 

(*) a voice cover of a song by Benoît Dorémus, with the Concierge modified lyrics

When growing up you always wonder
What are the proper rules and order

And what my role or calling is
Can someone help me with this please?

  
Ce n'est pas tant qu’elle m'embarrasse
Cette question qui me lasse
Et qui me renvoie toujours
A la presence de mes amours

Je viens juste de comprendre
Pourquoi la chose est essentielle
Dans cette époque artificielle
Ma réponse ne peut plus attendre

It’s time to figure out my path
and find out what my calling is
and then one night when deep in bed
I heard that whisper in my head:

Hey toi, 
Tu deviendras un grand concierge
Hey toi,
d'une grande maison, pas d'une auberge

When growing up all parents wonder
What education is in order
And ask to answer for them please
what your role or calling is ?

Cette chanson je vous l'annonce
Sera mon unique réponse|
réponse d’un concierge authentique
Un francophone en Amerique

(+) a voice cover of a song by HK &  Awa Ly, with the Concierge modified lyrics  

We built our lives, so safe and sound
Mostly by the book, rarely played around
Working hard, under pressure
City lights, but not much nature
Now’s the time to seek adventure !

So join me on the road to the unknown
Traveling through the wild & far beyond
Searching for those rare locations,
Humble hearts in joyful nations
Life’s celebration greets us every dawn 

We’ll climb the hills, we’ll cross the seas
Feel the freedom in every ocean breeze
Great food, fresh bread from rye
Wild landscapes meet the eye
Every dawn will keep our spirits high

Join me on the road to the unknown . . .

La nature est magnifique
Notre voyage sera fantastique
Ensemble ce sera magique
Un souvenir gravé dans la musique

Ensemble vers l’inconnu
Un voyage au-delà des vues
Lieux rares, cœurs ouverts,
Joie des peuples sincères,
La vie s’éveille à chaque aube venue

Road to the unknown
Traveling through the wild & far beyond
Just you and me
Life celebration starts every dawn

(+) Concierge original melody and lyrics, using parts of a playback of a song by Morphee

Growing up he wondered what would the future bring
How to push ahead, dare to dream big
Years went by, a lot accomplished, yet he sometimes ponders
If the path that worked for him, could still spark new wonders

He tells the young, stay curious, open to explore
Don't be lazy, chase your dreams, always strive for more
Technology can not replace your courage, drive, and vision
Dreams come true when they are paired with hard work and precision

Always dream, look up to the sky, find your star, make a wish
And always know, with work and will, you’ll make your vision flourish

Though an optimist at heart, these days he’s growing worry
Technology is blurring lines, cyberspace turning gory
With things pushed to extremes, he mostly sees division
And wonders if there's hope, to spark a healing vision

Rêve toujours, lève les yeux, trouve ton étoile, fais un vœu
Avec courage, tous tes rêves, se réalisent peu à peu

Always dream - look up to the sky, find your star, and pray
For joy, good health, and family, 

to brighten your way

(*) Concierge original melody and lyrics, using parts of a playback of a song by Shikki  

Notre monde est trés varié

Avec tant de genres musicaux

Mais tout cela paraît cliché

Les vieux refrains sont les plus beaux

Édith Piaf, Charles Aznavour

Ils définissent le mot culture

Yves Montand, Bécaud, Moustaki

Les grands amis de Maison Lactali

Moustaki chante Il est trop tard

Yves Montand – Les grands boulevards

Charles Aznavour et La bohème

Ces chansons qu’on adore quand même

Édith Piaf, Charles Aznavour . . . 

Édith Piaf n’a rien à regretter
Gilbert Bécaud revient te chercher
Joe Dassin est aux Champs-Élysées
Chez Maison Lactali, tout nous plaît

Édith Piaf, Charles Aznavour

Ils définissent le mot culture

Yves Montand, Bécaud, Moustaki

Les grands amis de Maison Lactali

Jacques Brel, Macias, Aznavour

Ils définissent le mot culture

Mais  Georges Brassens, mon beau-père préféré,

Est pour nous un peu trop ompliqué !

(*) Concierge original melody and lyrics, using parts of a playback of a song by Bernard Joyet

We share a road, we sail through life
We had our times of joy and trials
We seize the highs and bear the lows
As we advance our dreams our future grows

C’est notre aventure
Qui toujours m’éclaire
Qui me rend meilleur, plus vrai, sincère
Aux couleurs de l’automne,
parfums du printemps, sur le lac

A Maison Lactali

New chapter finally, peace and tranquility
For you and me at Maison Lactali
We’ll cross new lands & face each test
With open hearts will give our best

C’est notre aventure
Qui toujours m’éclaire
Qui me rend meilleur, plus vrai, sincère
Aux couleurs de l’automne,
parfums du printemps - Lactali

(+) Concierge original melody and lyrics, using parts of a playback of a song by Hunter

Quand on s’est vus la première fois
J’ai espéré que tu serais là
Pour partir ensemble sur le voyage de la vie
Et sur chaque chemin qu’on a suivi
Tout n’a pas toujours été facile
Mais regarde nous ici

Alors donne moi la main, 

Marchons tous les deux
À travers le monde, près du lac si bleu
Vivons des instants heureux

Marcher ensemble, avec grâce et fidélité
Marcher ensemble, dans la beauté
Marcher ensemble, dans la joie et l’harmonie
Marcher ensemble, pour la vie

Avec courage et avec envie
Nous avons construit une belle vie
Un nouveau départ, plein d’énergie
Et dans chaque lieu qu’on découvrira
Ville ou nature, tout brillera

Alors donne moi la main, 

Marchons tous les deux
À travers le monde, près du lac si bleu
Gravons des souvenirs heureux

Marcher ensemble, à travers les saisons
Marcher ensemble, sans raison
Marcher ensemble, avec cœur et en amis
Marcher ensemble, pour la vie

(*) Concierge original melody and lyrics, using parts of a playback of a song by Shikki  

Nature beauty, white and tall

Brought much happiness to all

So sad that he is gone 

Our beautiful swan

Fly swan fly, beyond the sky

Reaching up so high, to the heavens

We will miss you dear

Bless us all down here

As your spirit flies with the angels

He was white and tall

Shared happiness with all

So sad that he is gone

Fly swan fly, beyond the sky

Reaching up so high, to the heavens

We will miss you dear

Bless us all down here

As your spirit flies with the angels

Fly swan fly, Beyond the sky

Gliding in the light of heaven

Though we shed a tear

Love will keep you near

As your spirit shines with the angels

Our beautiful swan

(+) Concierge original melody and lyrics, using parts of a playback of a song by Bernard Joyet

Life is a roller-coaster ride,
You can feel it on every street.
Enjoy the good times, don’t try to hide,
when pain and troubles meet.
So dream and believe,
But always perceive,
Not all will go smooth or right.
Stand strong, don’t retreat,
When you fear a defeat,
Sunrise follows the darkness of night

Look up to the sky,
For faith, inspiration, and pride.
As you march along,
Humming your song,
Remember to enjoy the ride.
If needed, fight tooth and nail,
Roadblocks should never stop the climb.
Grandpa was saying,
When tears were flying,
“Every cloud has a silver lining.”

Life is a roller-coaster ride,
Yes, we’ve learned it upon our skin.
Joy and pain have both passed by,
As years keep rolling in.
Go with the flow, both fast and slow,
Our wonder keeps us alive.
So stay curious still, with a free, bold will,
That’s how the spirit survives.

(*) Concierge original melody and lyrics, using parts of a playback of a song by Caloé

Books and experts claim to know,
Secret ways for your happiness to grow.
Diet, mindfulness, breathing slow,
Natural boosts that make you glow.
It’s hard to tell what is right or bold,
Just doing my best in my small world.
Sharing humor, and smiling frequently,
Enjoying my time at Maison Lactali.

Smile, is the best way to greet
Smile, to every face you meet!
Smile, when you feel that heavy weight
Some sport will set you straight !
Smile, when tired or short of breath
Smile, it will improve your health
Smile there’s so much joy in life,
And most of all, smile to your wife !

I love to travel, left and right,
Taking pictures of special sights.
Make simple edits of lights and shades
And send them proudly to my friends.
But since the world is full of Photoshop,
And AI fakes forever pop,
Some friends observe and closely check,
If my shots are real or somewhat fake.

Smile, when doubters come your way,
Smile, it brightens up your day
Smile when your energy is low,
Sport will help it start to flow !
Smile, not only in a pic,
Smile, it helps your mind stay quick
Smile, there’s so much joy in life,
And most of all, smile to your wife !

(+) Concierge original melody and lyrics, using parts of a playback of a song by Gabi Hartmann

When we rise and start to move,
the world becomes our stage to try,
With every leap and every climb,
we’re learning how to reach the sky.
Strength is built in every step,
with balance growing day by day,
Parkour is teaching how to move,
and handle hurdles along the way.

Parkour

Every training is a chance
to test our power, skill, and might,
And every jump reminds us all,
our future strong, our spirit bright
Parkour is helping us to shine,
with every motion fast and true,
And side by side we find our strength -

there’s nothing we can’t learn to do.

(+) Concierge original melody and lyrics, using parts of a playback of a song by Patrick Fabre

Early morning by the lake
Birds all greet me with 'bonjour'
Older joggers take a break
Midway through their daily tour
Sunrise paints the waking sky
Light wind complements the scene
Coffee brews - bold, rich and high
To help a lovely day begin...

Je vous remercie, de me donné une belle vie,
chez maison lactali
Je vous remercie, de me donné une belle vie,
sur ce lac ici, et mon amour 

We are happy and feel blessed
To live at Maison Lactali.
We often pause to sit and guess
What brought us here so gracefully.
Was it fate or was it chance,

A path aligned mysteriously?

Or just a random set of steps
That got us here, eventually?   

Je vous remercie, de me donné une belle vie 

No one truly knows for sure
What it was that shaped our way:
The universe, our hopes, our faith,
Or a fluke that chose to play.
But deep inside we strongly feel
It was always meant to be.
So we thank the universe
And all of those who set us free. 

Je vous remercie, de me donné une belle vie

(^) a voice cover of a song by Alex Beaupain, with the Concierge new lyrics  

A strong team, focused and skillful 

Built a venture that’s quite successful.

Doing good, and earning respect

From all the lives they now affect.

It’s a rare and difficult aim:

To find a balance one can sustain

Doing business while giving back

To those with little, or simply bad luck.

Laisse-les danser seuls,

loin de ta prison dorée.

Laisse-les danser seuls,
Et tracer leur nouvelle destinée.

Every journey has its highs and lows,
Moments of triumph and heavy blows.
Keep your eyes on the road ahead,
Stay your course, don’t be afraid.

It’s your duty to shape and guide 

The people you lead, leaving no one behind

Let them grow, and play their part,

And support them if they wish to depart.

Laisse-les danser seuls

loin de ta prison dorée.

Laisse-les danser seuls,

Et tracer leur nouvelle destinée.

What began with hope and drive

Helped so many grow and thrive.

Not just income, but purpose and flame

And a legacy that lives through their name

Laisse-les danser seuls...

(+) a voice cover of song by Orlane, with the Concierge new lyrics  

Chéri, this is my life story
Pas grand choses, no fame and no glory
A concierge that navigates the world
With complex dreams and simple identity
Challenged with cities, they suffocate me
In love with Nature, vistas and waters,
senses and colors.

Late bloomer, took me time to figure out

Who I am, and what is that I like

Love of nature - Les grand espaces,

Kayaking a lake is such a class

Traveling the world is very chic

Now a Francophone en Amerique

Adapting new ways to better blend-in

and grow a thicker skin 

I got layers, you got layers, we got layers,

All our flavors and our layers blend together

There's not one right way to be

More than what the eye can see

Cause, all these layers, keep us warm and make us be 

When they tell me "you're a stranger",
I say  merde זה לא בסדר
My culture is part of who I am forever
Come here, relax, behave, prove that
Lord knows, how hard is switching worlds
So, tell me where you're from
Where you're really, really from

Citoyenne du monde, concierge of the world
Dans ce grand mélange,
know where you belong
European roots are a source of fun
France, Espagne et les Balkans
French vanille avec la voix de miel,
Salad de chevre chaud, et glace sous le gel

I got layers, you got layers, we got layers,
All our flavors and our layers blend . . .
 

(*) a voice cover of song by Naika, with the Concierge modified lyrics  

Oh, a big city morning wakes again, to a another, crazy day.

Traffic everywhere, dense pollution in the air.

Everyone’s exposed out there, but no-one seems to care. What a chaotic mess!
Should you look for something else?

Remind yourself, you better run away, so pack your things now!

It’s time to take a break, to new beginnings.

Amazing sunsets on the lake, all across the lake

And bright yellow red skies in your horizon

So be present, Every day and night.

Changer de vie, sur Lac Tali, changer de vie

Oh, it was a long journey to the lake, with many twists and turns, to get settled and lay back

Hier encore, comme toujour

Je t’aimais beaucoup

Chez Maison Lactali

C’était notre rendez-vous

Et j’espère que demain

On retrouvera là

Chez Maison Lactali

Où le temps n’efface pas

With the cycles of nature

A lot that is known

The four yearly seasons

Or when a new year is born

Daily sunrise and sunset

Daily high and low tide

But when hit by an earthquake

There is no place to hide 

Hier encore, comme toujour . . . 

And the rhythms of love

Are so key to survive

As you need love around you

To feel good and alive

Yet love is so fragile

When being assumed

So nurture it daily

And keep it well-tuned 

Hier encore, comme toujour . . . 

I cherish nature and love, my wife, my family

And repeat as a mantra, Lactali Lactali
