(in an attempt to keep the Robots off my back, i've made the song available only to members of my network. apologies to non-multiplyers, or whatever they're [we're] called, or to those who are but aren't in my network. er, and were hoping to get a freebie.)

Le Festin
Performed by Camille
Written and Produced by
Michael Giacchino

French lyrics:

Les rêves des amoureux sont comm’(e) le bon vin
Ils donn(ent) de la joie ou bien du chagrin
Affaibli par la faim je suis
malheureux
Volant en chemin tout ce que je peux
Car rien n’est gratuit
dans la vie

L’espoir est un plat bien trop vite consommé
A sauter
les repas je suis habitué
Un voleur solitaire est triste à nourrir
A un
jeu si amer je n’peux réussir
Car rien n’est gratuit dans…

La vie…
Jamais on ne me dira
Que la course aux étoiles; ça n’est pas pour moi
Laissez moi vous émerveiller et prendre mon en vol
Nous allons en fin
nous régaler

La fêt(e) va enfin commencer
Sortez les bouteilles;
finis les ennuis
Je dresse la table, de ma nouvell(e) vie
Je suis
heureux à l’idée de ce nouveau destin
Une vie à me cacher et puis libre
enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin

Une vie à me cacher et puis libre
enfin
Le festin est sur mon chemin

English
lyrics:

Dreams are to lovers as wine is to friends
Carried through
lifetimes, (and) spilled now and then
I am driven by hunger, so saddened to
be
Thieving in darkness; I know you’re not pleased
But nothing worth
eating is free

My hope is a banquet impatiently downed
Impossibly
full, now I’ll probably drown
Many thieves’ lives are lonely with one mouth
to feed
If giving means taking, I’ll never succeed
For nothing worth
stealing is…

Free at last; won’t be undersold
Surviving isn’t
living; won’t eat what I’m told
Let me free, I’ll astonish you; I’m planning
to fly
I won’t let this party just pass me by

The banquet is now
underway, so…
Bring out the bottles; a new tale has spun
In clearing
this table, my new life’s begun
I am nervous, excited; (oh) just read the
marquee!
A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting
for me

A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
My dinner is waiting

for me

note to self: learn French before some epochal moment in your life.

but now it's too late for that, ennit? so i'll just put this on and pretend i haven't been a lazy little blogger:

Hi guys.

Just wanted to update you about some stuff:

Met with Jade Bernas, publisher of Story Philippines, earlier today. He told me that Story Philippines has a new policy of not accepting reprints. In other words, if you guys plan to submit to Story Philippines as I've encouraged you to do, make sure that it's original, unpublished, and not a multiple or a simultaneous submission. They've become a bit stricter with their submission guidelines.

Secondly, Fully Booked has launched the 2nd Philippine Graphic Fiction Awards. I'm also encouraging you to join. Check out the PGS blog (http://www.philippinegenrestories.blogspot.com/) for the link to the site with the application form and contest rules/guidelines.

Thanks!
