Nolwenn Leroy is sexiest when she's singing Tri Martolod in her native Breton dialect.

The melody itself -- with its Celtic flavor -- can't help but be mesmerizing. Check out other versions here and here.

and you might agree with me that this melody is sexy and captivating no matter who's singing.

Unlocking the World’s Heart

Smiles…

Like crescent moons

Across colorful faces

Stretch for miles --

Above the endless horizon,

Beyond the blazing sun,

And past the expanding stars --

Just to return home

To unlock the secrets

Of the world’s heart.

Smiles…

Like curved see-saws

Across playful faces

With big eyes

And even bigger dreams

To wander the wide world,

And keep it safe and green,

So that anyone’s smile

May unlock the secrets

Of the world’s heart.

Smiles…

Like cups of sunshine

Across friendly faces

Warmed by the promise

That smiles smash walls,

Break down barriers,

And reach beyond borders

Always returning home

To unlock the secrets

Of the world’s heart.

Keep it simple -- unfinished

work in progr3ss

Keep it simple

I put on my shoes

To go for a hike,

But what’s to lose

I’ll go on my bike.

I put on my swimsuit --

In the water I’d float,

But oh how cute

If I had a boat.

I put on my seatbelt

And start the car,

But what if I felt

Like going real far.

Car, far, plane, jet, rocket,

 

The truth of my value

Some of what he says:

The truth of my value
is not dependent on whether or not i have arms or legs.
or how many friends i have.
I don’t need to be someone I’m not.
I just need to be the best me.

if that’s what’s in you, within your heart and mind and spirit, you’ve got to do it.

and don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is education.

we all start with zero.
don’t be afraid to work. don’t be afraid to try
don’t be afraid to network.
and don’t be shy. don’t be ashamed of anything.
go out and try. you never know who you may inspire along the way.

Passionate in Peace

What is the world but another word for us.

What is peace but another word for us.

What is love but another word for us.

What is life but another word for us.

 

Who am I but another word for you.

Who are you but another word for me.

Who are they but another word for us.

Who are we but another word for world.

 

Ask yourself, and ask another,

Who asks another and still another

To be blind to borders, deaf to boasting,

Active in love and passionate in peace.

 

The questions seem simple:
Who, what, when, where, why...

And answers equally so:

Me, you, now, here, because…

 

Because we can, because we must!

For what is action but another word for love.

And what is love but another word for peace.

We Are All Connected

When I fly my simple kite high in the sky,

I know it is lifted by the same swirling air

That lifted another simple kite

Flown by another adventurous child

On the other side of the world.

 

When rain drops dance on my tongue

During a summer rain shower,

I know I'm tasting the same fresh water

That quenched the thirst of another curious child

On the other side of the world.

 

When my hands dive into the moist earth

And reveal writhing worms and speckled stones,
I know I am touching the same rich dirt
That smudged the face of a playful child

On the other side of the world.

 

When I recycle what I no longer need,

I help keep your ground water clean,

Your rain forests vibrant,

And your air fresh.

What we do on our side of the world,

Affects all the world.

Because we are all connected.

What Happened to Us?

What happened to us?

What happened to our love?

We were inseparable.

Now we’re insufferable.

I loved being with you

Walking hand-in-hand

Down the avenue,

Placing soft kisses

Upon your sweet cheeks,

Not a care in the world

But one:

To see you smile.

Your happiness

Was all that mattered.

Every breath I took

Was a joyful prelude

To making flaming love.

Where are you now?

Who’s making you smile?

We were inseparable.

Now I’m insufferable.

I loved being with you,

Hugging you from behind,

Whispering in your ear,

Kissing your slender neck:

Magical moments of moaning, and

Not a care in the world

But one:

To see you smile.

Your happiness

Was all that mattered.

I gladly suffocated

In the bubble of your love,

Dying every night,

Dying with you every night.

What happened to us?

Who burst our bubble?

We breathed as one,

Now I’m breathless

Longing for you,

Longing for your touch,

Longing to give you my all...

I just wanted you to be happy...
