--- ORIGINAL FRENCH LYRICS ---
[ENGLISH TRANSLATION AT BOTTOM]
Jeune fille créative
Me semble insouciante
Dessine de charmants visages
De femmes troublantes
(Les plus beaux paysages)
La nature m'époustoufle
C'est là que je t'y épouserais
Si seulement j'y croyais
Je la veux dans ma vie
Je la veux dans ma vie
Je la veux dans ma vie
Comme la lumière d'Italie
La lumière d'Italie
La lumière d'Italie
Toutes les femmes sont belles
Oh belle, belle mirabelle
Mon dieu comme elles m'intriguent
Bien plus que les pyramides
Promenons-nous dans les bois
Prenons-nous dans les bras
Toi et moi
On est comme pomme et cannelle
Je la veux dans ma vie
Je la veux dans ma vie
Je la veux dans ma vie
Comme la lumière d'Italie
La lumière d'Italie
Je la veux dans ma vie
Qu'elle anime mes nuits
Qu'elle anime mes nuits
Je la veux dans ma vie
J'aimerais éclairer son chemin
Lui faire des câlins
J'aimerais lui jouer du banjo
Et l'embrasser sous l'eau
Sa présence m'intimide
Une grâce si limpide
Elle me fait tant d'effet
Comment je m'en défais ?

Young creative girl
(she) Seems carefree to me
(she) Draws charming faces
Of troubling women
(The most beautiful landscapes)
Nature amazes me
This is where I would marry you
If only I believed in it
I want her in my life
I want her in my life
I want her in my life
Like the light of Italy
The light of Italy
The light of Italy
All women are beautiful
Oh beautiful, beautiful mirabelle plum [just playing with rhymes and making a reference to lyrics from Les sages poètes de la rue, famous French rap group from the 90s]
My god how they intrigue me
Much more than the pyramids
let's wander in the forest
Let's hold each other in our arms
You and me
We're like apple and cinnamon
I want her in my life
I want her in my life
I want her in my life
Like the light of Italy
The light of Italy
I want her in my life
May she liven up my nights
May she liven up my nights
I want her in my life
I would like to light her way
Cuddle her
I would like to play the banjo for her
And kiss her underwater
Her presence intimidates me
A grace so limpid
She has such an effect on me
How do I get rid of it? [sounds so harsh and negative in English, it's not the case in French]

Costals Geneva, Switzerland
Sounds like Future Gainsbourg. She said to him: « you’re a force tranquille ». Costals’ unique universe elegantly merges influences ranging from hip hop to trance via electronica and IDM. Bathed in cozy atmospheres that are like caresses to the ears, his simple and refined lyrics express an honest desire for lust, the playfulness of the eternal child, and sometimes a sprinkle of stoicism. ... more
Costals recommends:
Bedroom pop made during lock-down. As creators it's easy to be over-creative, which can often damage the art and also kill the joy of the process. I'm always happy to listen to "recreational" works.

Mark is from Manchester and lives most of the time in Vevey, Switzerland. I met him when he was playing by the lake in Montreux. I felt connected to him through his music since the first minute.

THIS LAKE IS SUCCESSFUL
by Varnish La Piscine
He might be the best artist from Geneva. This is the soundtrack for "Ce lac a du succès", the short YouTube series he wrote, directed and played.
