Cesars Awards "Revelations" - translation




This is the translation for the French Cesar awards "revelations" video. It is not perfect, I am not a professional translator, but I am french and that helps! Enjoy (bar one or two mistakes or misses!)


"Body and Soul"
Look at me at this very instant naked,
free in body and spirit,
blaming only myself for the pressure I put myself under,
I surrender body and soul,
untainted again, I am whole,
I go back to chaos,
my DNA scattered for ever, I enter the dance,
escaping from myself,
my art will be to act,
In your dreams I will become flesh
I will make words subtly resound, 
Like fruits under my tongue,
I give you my skin,
Torn apart, incensed, content with tears and laughter,
You would be breathless with cries, light, with the crowd…
I want to be brunk
Your “impossible”, your “unrevealed”
?
Come cold or stage freight, uncertain times,
I will remain deaf to the sellers of puff,
I have faith, I dive in,
at this very instant naked, free in body and soul
I surrender body and soul,
Look at me, look at me,
The road is free

Spitafield line dancing is the new Thriller


How odd it is to see regular people line dance in the middle of the afternoon in one of the busiest shopping markets of dear old London! That is just what I was privileged to witness in Spitafield market last Saturday. Everyone and anyone could join in to the not so impromptu gathering. I especially liked the gentleman who couldn't dance to save his life but who was soldiering on anyhow! And the two kids and their parents who were having a ball on the sidelines. I love London for those little snippets of big city life; there is always something somewhere happening. We are told London is a heartless city full of poo-faced faces. If only they could see that video and bear witness to Londoners and tourists letting their head down. Line dancing is where it's at, baby!
