Froide comme glace mais tout aussi sucre
Seches tes pleurs Sunday Girl
Hey, je vous r'connais avec une autre fille
Il semblait dans un autre monde
Peux-t'cacher, Sunday Girl

Depeches-toi, depeches-toi et attends
Toutes les s'maines absends et pourtant j'attend
J'ai le coeur tendre, je t'en pris vient voir
Ce qu'il y a dans l'amour
Est present pour moi

Elle ne peut, s'en tirer au monde ouvrier
Dans deux week-ends elle sortira feter
Quand elle reve, Sunday Girl
Maintenant, moi je sortirer bien se soir
Toi et moi, mes parents vont flipper

If you're a fan of Blondie, you've probably heard of "Sunday Girl." But have you heard the French version?

Blondie, the iconic American rock band of the 70s and 80s, released the song "Sunday Girl" as a single in the UK in 1979. The song is a catchy pop rock tune with Debbie Harry's vocals at the forefront.

About Sunday Girl (French version)

The French version of "Sunday Girl" (named "Je T'aime...Moi Non Plus"), has a similar melody and instrumentation to the original English version, but with French lyrics.

The song starts off with a guitar riff, followed by Harry's vocals in French. The chorus has an infectious "je t'aime" (I love you) hook, and the lyrics throughout the song express a longing for love and affection.

The original lyrics from the English version were written by the band's guitarist, Chris Stein, and were later translated to French by American journalist and writer, Michael Zilkha.

The French version was included as a B-side to the English release of "Sunday Girl" and later appeared on the band's album "Autoamerican."

Despite not being as well-known as the English version, the French version of "Sunday Girl" has received critical acclaim and has been covered by other artists. Nouvelle Vague, a French band known for their covers of new wave and post-punk songs, included their version of "Je T'aime...Moi Non Plus" on their debut album in 2004.

Blondie themselves have also performed the French version live, showcasing their versatility and international appeal.

In terms of popularity, "Sunday Girl" (the English version) reached number one on the UK charts and became one of the band's most successful singles. It was also popular in the US, reaching number 65 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Blondie was known for their unique blend of rock, punk, and pop, and "Sunday Girl" (both versions) exemplifies this sound. Debbie Harry's distinctive voice paired with the guitar-driven melodies make for an unforgettable listening experience.

Whether you speak French or not, it's worth giving the French version of "Sunday Girl" a listen. Not only is it a nod to the band's international appeal, but it's also a testament to the universality of music. Despite the language barrier, the emotions conveyed through the lyrics and melody are unmistakable.
