5 Thumbs Up!, June 20, 2008
***CAUTION! SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE RATATOUILLE***
I recently watched Ratatouille at my computer, and while the other songs were good, this was the one that I loved the most. Le Festin is a powerful song that plays twice in the movie, when Linguini discovers his will and learns that he is the owner of Gusteau's, and when the new restaurant, "Ratatouille" is shown. I like this song so much that I rewind to the scene where it starts playing, much to my sister's annoyance. In fact, I won't be surprised if it won the Oscar for "Most Oringinal Song".
LYRICS:
Le Festin
Les rêves des amoureux sont comme le bon vin
Ils donnent 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.
Éspoire est un plât bien trop vite consommé
À sauter les repas je suis habitué
Un voleur, solitaire, est triste à nourrir
À nous, je suis amer, je veux réussir
Car rien n'est gratuit dans la vie.
Jamais on ne redira que la course aux étoiles, ça n'est pas pour moi
Laisser moi vous émerveillez, prendre mon envol
Nous allons enfin nous réga....(ler)
À la prête fin enfin nous (prends ce... / danse.....)
Et sortez les bouteilles, finis les ennuis
Je dresse la table, demain nouvelle vie
Je suis heureux a 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. . . .
TRANSLATION:
The Feast
The dreams of lovers are like good wine
They give joy or even sorrow
Weakened by hunger, I am unhappy
Stealing on my way everything I can
Because nothing in life is free.
Hope is a dish too soon finished
I am accustomed to skipping meals
A thief alone and hungry is sad enough to die
As for us, I am bitter, I want to succeed
Because nothing in life is free.
Never will they say again that I cannot shoot for the stars;
Let me fill you with wonder, let me take flight
We will finally fea . . . (st).
In the close future we will finally dance
And take away the bottles, the troubles are over
I set the table; tomorrow is a new life
I am happy at the idea of this new destiny
A life spent in hiding, and now I'm finally free
The feast is on my path
A life spent in hiding, and now I'm finally free
The feast is on my path. . . .

Must-have Song From Ratatouille, June 30, 2008
As soon as I heard this song in the movie, I KNEW I had to have it! It is such a cute, delightful song, with a title that translates into "The Feast" - a perfect summary of the movie in music. Absolutely adorable.
