peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1When laid flat, the body is dead. Explanation: That sounds more metaphysical than technical. Could you please give more context? It could also mean: (Une fois) allongé... => Once it had stretched out, the body died. |

Tech/Engineering Explanation: Given that this question has been posted under Tech/Engineering, I am assuming that we are talking about a piece of machinery. I am picturing some kind of 'concertina' type machinery, so that one the machinery is stretched out to its fullest extent it is dead (turns itself off/is not operating), but when squeezed in it is ready to function. The body, meaning the main part, the body of the machinery. When stretched out, elongated, the body (main component) is dead (disabled/turned off) I like trying to solve riddles! |

it's a song by Mylene Farmer Explanation: I wasn't able to find any english translation, but here's the whole text in french, and in the link below you can even read it in... esperanto :-))) C'est une belle journée Allongé le corps est mort Pour des milliers C'est un homme qui dort... A moitié pleine est l'amphore C'est à moitié vide Qu'on la voit sans effort Voir la vie, son côté pile Oh philosophie Dis-moi des élégies Le bonheur Lui me fait peur D'avoir tant d'envies Moi j'ai un souffle à coeur Aussi Refrain: C'est une belle journée Je vais me coucher Une si belle journée Qui s'achève Donne l'envie d'aimer Mais je vais me coucher Mordre l'éternité A dents pleines C'est une belle journée Je vais me coucher Une si belle journée Souveraine Donne l'envie de paix Voir des anges à mes pieds Mais je vais me coucher M'faire la belle Allongé le corps est mort Pour des milliers C'est un homme qui dort... A moitié pleine est l'amphore C'est à moitié vide Que je la vois encore Tout est dit puisqu'en amour Si c'est du lourd Le coeur est léger Des élégies toujours Les plaisirs, les longs, les courts Vois-tu en amour Moi, j'ai le souffle court Vois-tu Refrain Belle La vie est belle Comme une aile Qu'on ne doit froisser Belle La vie est belle Et je vais là Belle La vie est belle Mais la mienne Un monde emporté Elle, j'entre en elle Et mortelle, va Refrain 2x Reference: http://www.rumohor.com/Mylene/Songs/CEUBJ/enCEUBJ1.html |
