Anggun’s much waited song, Echo, which will represent France at the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest in Baku was presented during the official reception of the Midem this Sunday – at the same time the song was made available to listen to online.
Echo (You & I) was written by Anggun herself and William Rousseau and composed by Jean-Pierre Pilot. Mix of the song has been made by Veronique Ferraro, who usualy works with David Guetta.
The song Echo (You & I) talks about the hopes and dreams of human being, where do we go? What are we running for?
"… I hear the sound of your steps… never going to the same direction… we get lost, we hope, somewhere… one day we shall meet.."
You & I
You & I
J’entends l’écho de nos pas tous en cadence
Marchent au pas jamais dans le même sens
On avance mais on court après quoi ?
J’entends l’écho de nos rêves, de nos envies,
Au-delà, toujours jusqu’à la nuit,
On s’entraîne et on court après quoi ?
On se perd, on espère
Quelque part, on s’égare,
Un jour au-delà, on se retrouvera,
In my dreams, in my dreams,
In my heart, in my mind,
I see You and I, there’s you an I,
J’entends l’écho de nos pas qui se balancent,
Ca et là, toujours sur la même danse,
On avance mais on court après quoi ?
On se perd, on espère
Quelque part, on s’égare
Un jour au-delà, on se retrouvera,
In my dreams, in my dreams,
In my heart, in my mind,
I see You and I, there’s You and I
