There was talk that she'll be doing 2 versions of her song, L'Histoire D'Une Fée, C'est... -- in French for the French version of the film, and in English in all other versions; unfortunately, the song will be in French only in all versions. As you'll hear in the film, it's just as well. Also, this song, which in English is "The Story Of A Fairy, Is...", had its name changed from "Attrapez-moi!" (Catch Me!), as the original name sounded more like a song for a Pokemon movie. And while only a brief part of the song is actually used in the film, the song was released in France as a single; it has 2 versions of the song -- original and instrumental.

The Lyrics

Here are the lyrics for the song, in French and English. The Original lyrics are written by Mylene Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat; published in France by Requiem Publishing [SACEM] and in the US by Ensign Music Corporation [BMI]; (P) 2000 Stuffed Monkey.

Trois p'tits tours et silence ! C'est ça qui m'affecte Quand on m'aime, je danse Quand on veut j'apparais... Trois p'tits tours et silence ! J'suis pas en latex Quand on m'oublie, le sens De ma vie disparait Faire un voeu ou bien deux Et puis fermer les yeux (je suis là) Pour celui et pour ceux Qui n'ont pas froid au yeux (qui croient en moi) Faire un souhait pour de vrai Et puis croire au mystère (tout est là) C'est un style, c'est facile Quand on est Mélusine / Oh vite dépêche toi! Avant que tout s'éveille Attrapez-moi Mais pas le bout des ailes Une fée c'est fragile parfois Avant que minuit ne vienne Attrapez-moi Jeux de mains, jeux de M Emoi Trois p'tits tours et silence C'est ça qui me choque Quand ma peine est immense Je change l'or en toc Trois p'tits tours de passe passe Moi j'en ai des stocks... Si ma baguette casse Que le grand crick me croque Faire un voeu ou bien deux Et puis fermer les yeux (je suis là) Pour celui et pour ceux Qui n'ont pas froid aux yeux (qui croient en moi) Faire un souhait pour de vrai Et puis croire au mystère (tout est là) C'est un style, c'est facile Quand on est Mélusine/ Oh vite dépêche toi! Refrain I Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday Refrain I Avant que tout s'éveille Attrapez-moi Et voir mes étincelles Une fée c'est magique en soi Avant que minuit ne vienne Attrapez-moi Jeux de mains, jeux de M Emoi

Three small turns and silence! It is that which affects to me when I am liked, I dance when one wants I appear... Three small turns and silence! I am not out of latex when I am forgotten, the direction of my desperate life To make a wish or two and then to close the eyes (I am there) for that and those which do not have cold with the eyes (which believe in me) to make a wish for truth and then to believe in the mystery (all is there) it is a style, it is easy when one is Mélusine / Oh quickly catch you! Before everyone wakes up Catch me But not the end of the wings a fairy is fragile sometimes Before midnight does not come Catch me Play with hands, play with Mr. Emoi Three small turns and silence It is that which shocks me When my sorrow is immense I change gold into fake Three small turns of master key passes Me I have stocks of them... If my bread breaks That the large cricket crunches me To make a wish or two and then to close the eyes (I am there) for that and those which do not have cold with the eyes (which believe in me) to make a wish for truth and then to believe in the mystery (all is there) it is a style, it is easy when one is Mélusine / Oh quickly catch you! Chorus I Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi, Jeudi, Vendredi, Samedi, Dimanche (I couldn't resist -- SM) Chorus I Before everyone wakes up Catch me And to see my sparks a fairy it is magic in oneself Before midnight does not come Catch me Play with hands, play with Mr. Emoi
