JE M’APPELLE MADAME Bonsoir, mon amour… Tu connais mon nom? Non… non… non… Je m’appelle… Madame. (Madame… Madame…) Don’t ask me where I’ve been. Just tell me where we’re going. Oh là là… Verse 1 – Sensual Female Vocal Silk on my shoulders, gold on my skin, I walk through the night like a beautiful sin. Paris is sleeping, the moon’s on the run, I’ve loved a thousand times, but belonged to none. Your eyes are asking what my lips won’t say, Some hearts are stolen, some just fade away. A little danger, a little champagne, A kiss in the darkness, a beautiful pain. Pre-Chorus – Rising Hypnotic Groove Don’t call me baby, Don’t call me yours. I’ve danced with angels, I’ve closed those doors. You want my secrets? You want my name? Come a little closer, And say it again. Chorus – Hypnotic Club Hook Je m’appelle Madame, Madame, Madame, Danse avec moi jusqu’au matin. Je m’appelle Madame, Madame, Madame, Tonight I’m yours, tomorrow I’m gone. Oh là là, mon amour, Feel my heartbeat on the floor. Oh là là, c’est la vie, You can dance, but you can’t own me. Madame… Madame… Je m’appelle Madame! Post-Chorus – Minimal Vocal Chop / Deep House Drop Rolling palm wine bassline, swung percussion, soukous guitar Ma-ma-ma… Madame! Ma-ma-ma… Madame! Oh là là… Oh là là… (Je m’appelle…) Madame! (Madame… dame… dame…) Verse 2 – Low, Intimate Female Vocal Midnight in Marrakech, memories of Rome, Every crowded dance floor feels a little like home. You wear your promises like diamonds in the rain, But I’ve heard those words before, again and again. A little mystery, a little perfume, Two lonely shadows in a velvet room. You say forever, I say tonight, Some things are sweeter when they don’t survive. Pre-Chorus 2 – Talking Drum Accents Don’t call me darling, Don’t call me queen. I’m not the woman Inside your dream. You want my story? You want my flame? Come a little closer, And whisper my name. Chorus – Full Groove / Wide Club Mix Je m’appelle Madame, Madame, Madame, Danse avec moi jusqu’au matin. Je m’appelle Madame, Madame, Madame, Tonight I’m yours, tomorrow I’m gone. Oh là là, mon amour, Feel my heartbeat on the floor. Oh là là, c’est la vie, You can dance, but you can’t own me. Madame… Madame… Je m’appelle Madame! Halftime Breakdown – Bittersweet Nostalgia Kick drops out, santur solo, daf hand drums, distant soukous guitar, tape echo (Soft French whisper) J’ai aimé… J’ai pleuré… J’ai tout donné… Puis j’ai dansé… I remember every summer, Every face I left behind. All the lovers, all the strangers, All the things I couldn’t find. Maybe love is just a moment, Maybe freedom has a price. But tonight beneath the moonlight, I will fall in love with life. (Dub delay: life… life… life…) Build – Whispered / Rhythmic Spoken Vocal Say my name… (Madame…) Say it slowly… (Madame…) Feel the rhythm… Feel the fire… Don’t fall in love… Just take me higher. Un… deux… trois… Final Chorus – Half-Volume Climax Full rolling bass, restrained kick, shimmering santur, wide stereo ambience; vocals remain intimate rather than shouted Je m’appelle Madame, Madame, Madame, Danse avec moi jusqu’au matin. Je m’appelle Madame, Madame, Madame, Tonight I’m yours, tomorrow I’m gone. Oh là là, mon amour, One more dance and nothing more. Oh là là, c’est la vie, Keep the night, remember me. Madame… Madame… Je m’appelle Madame! Outro – Minimal Deep House / Tape Saturation Ma-ma-ma… Madame… Oh là là… Je m’appelle Madame… No promises. No regrets. Just one dance… And one last kiss. (Whisper) Bonsoir, mon amour… Adieu….!
