Sirens: Mylène Farmer and Kerli



Dessine-moi un mouton Draw me a sheep
Le ciel est vide sans imagination The sky is empty without imagination
C'est ça That's it
Dessine-moi un mouton Draw me a sheep
Redevenir l'enfant que nous étions Become again the child we once were
Dessine-moi un mouton Draw me a sheep
Le monde est triste sans imagination The world is sad without imagination
C'est ça That's it
Dessine-moi un mouton Draw me a sheep
Apprivoiser l'absurdité du Monde To tame the absurdity of the World

See on üke hirmus suur saladus. Teile, kes te väikest printsi armastate nagu minagi, ei ole maailmas midagi nii koldat kui teadmatus, kas üks lammas, keda me ei tunne, on ühe roosi ära söönud või ei ole. Ja ükski suur inimene ei saa iialgi aru, et see on nii tähtis! - Väike prints

Väikese printsi lugu on tuntud üle maailma ja on samuti tõlgitud eesti keelde. Selle jutu järele kirjutas Mylène Farmer Joonista mulle lammas, mis ilmus 1999 aastal ja on ikka kuulus. Lauljanna on sündinud Montrealis 1961 aastal aga elab Prantsusmaal. Ta on lemmiklaulja kellel on kõige rohkem esimese koha hitte Prantsusmaal. Kuna talle meeldis 1930.a Hollywoodi filmi täht Frances Farmer, vahetas oma perekonna nime Gauthier selle vastu. Lemmik autorid on Baudelaire ja Edgar Allan Poe; ta tuletab ka Ziggy Stardusti meelde omas videos Live Bercy 2006.


Kerli Köiv has been called the Mylène Farmer of Estonia because of her musical style and sense of drama and makeup. Born in 1987 in Elva, southern Estonia, she dropped out of school at 16 to work on her musical career. She won Fizz Superstar in 2002 and was second in the Eesti Laul 2004 (a competition to determine the Estonian representative to Eurovision.) However, after her Estonian singing contract did not work out, she moved to LA in 2005 and signed with Island Records in 2006. Her music videos Love is Dead and Walking on Air were released in 2008; Walking on Air was featured in the promotion for the So You Think You Can Dance finale in 2008.

Tea Party and Strange (with Tokio Hotel) were included in the soundtrack Almost Alice to the Alice in Wonderland 3D fantasy film released in March 2010. Kerli sang these songs, along with Walking on Air, in the Ultimate Fan Event for the movie. She is working on a new compilation due out this fall.
