I'm a junior in high school and I'm in french 3, on friday my teacher took us to the computer lab and we did some listening assignments and stuff, and then when we were done we could do extra credit. The extra credit was to listen to this french song and try and write the lyrics, it was a pretty catchy song so I'm trying to find out what it was called.

My teacher said it was high on the european charts last summer, it has a female singing in french with a techno background. If anyone knows what song this is, or could even post the titles/lyrics of possible songs I would appreciate it. Thanks

Not really enough info. to answer your question is it?

Any words, etc... Might help a bit.

Well that's the thing, I dont really remember what the lyrics were exactly since they were in french, but if I saw them I would remember. I'll try and go into a little more detail about the song. It was normal female vocals, kind of pop sounding but in french, over a techno background. Supposedly it was the number one song in europe over summer 2004, or one of the most popular

Hrmm, no clue. I suppose you can't help it but that is really, really general. That's like saying "I heard a song with male vocals over a guitar and drums". Could be a lot of things.

Maybe Kate Ryan "Désenchantée" (original version by Mylène Farmer) ???

Nager dans les eaux troubles
Les lendemains
Attendre ici la fin
Flotter dans l'air trop lourd
Du presque rien
À qui tendre la main

Si je doix tomber de haut
Que ma chute soit lente
Je n'ai trouvé de repos
Que dans l'indifférence
Pourtant, je voudrais retrouver l'innocence
Mais rien n'a de sens, et rien ne va

Tout est chaos
À côté
Tous mes idéaux: des mots
Abîmés
Je cherche une âme, qui
Pourra m'aider
Je suis d'une génération désenchantée,
Désenchantée

Qui pourrait m'empêcher
De tout entendre
Quand la raison s'effondre
À quel sein se vouer
Qui peut prétendre
Nous bercer dans son ventre

Si la mort est un mystère
La vie n'a rien de tendre
Si le ciel a un enfer
Le ciel peut bien m'attendre
Dis moi,
Dans ces vents contraires comment s'y prendre
Plus rien n'a de sens, plus rien n'a va

Tout est chaos
À côté
Tous mes idéaux: des mots
Abimés
Je cherche une âme, qui
Pourra m'aider
Je suis d'une génération désenchantée,
Désenchantée

Tout est chaos
À côté
Tous mes idéaux: des mots
Abimés
Je cherche une âme, qui
Pourra m'aider
Je suis d'une génération désenchantée,
Désenchantée

Well, could it be Alizee - Moi Lolita ? If memory serves, that song is electronical and she sings in french.
