The Star Swordsman - Ahhh – I see. Well, now it all makes sense. Cool. ![]()
You’re welcome! ![]()
Oh, I see. Hmm… wonder if I could find one of those sets on eBay…
I didn’t have any luck with the soundtrack either. ![]()
Here are the lyrics to “Le Festin” if anyone’s interested. ![]()
[i]
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
À nous, je suis amer, je veux réussir
Car rien n’est gratuit dans la vie.
Un voleur, solitaire, est triste à nourrir
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
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. . . .[/i]
I’m gonna try to translate it at some point. ![]()
Le Festin is my fav, song on the soundtrack. I’ve always will like it.
Wow. Thank you for the lyrics, JesusFreak! I can’t wait for the translation. (snigger)

I really can’t wait for a translation!
I wish I could be fluent with french.
I finally got the Ratatouille soundtrack in the mail from Amazon! It’s truly one of the most beautiful pieces of modern orchestral music out there. I hope it gets the recognition it deserves with an Oscar nomination.
Some of my favorite tracks:
1.) Le Festin - Like the sountrack insert says, Le Festin is like a classic song that’s been around for ages but you’ve never gotten to hear it before. It’s unique, and its score is repeated in different themes throughout the score.
6.) Wall Rat - I love the energy, this is simply one of the best tracks on the disk.
9.) Souped Up - I first heard this song at Wondercon with Brad Bird, it got so much excitement from the thousands of people in the theater that everyone burst into spontaneous applause.
11.) A New Deal - The first half is a heartfelt song, the second half sounds like two new friends prancing together in the park.
12.) Remy Drives a Linguini - I can see this song being played in a comedy short film; it’s western and upbeat.
13.) Colette Shows Him Le Ropes - The song that plays on the Ratatouille homepage, perfect for Colette’s wild personality.
14.) Special Order - Jazzy and festive, I can imagine this song being played at a salsa dance.
21.) Dinner Rush - I believe this song plays at the climax of the film. You know that Pixar-ish feeling you get when you watch a Pixar movie for the first time? I believe this was when I had that strong feeling.
22.) Anyone Can Cook - “Le Festin” but more orchestral, I think this song will help Giacchino get that deserved Oscar nomination. One of the most moving tracks in recent cinema history.
23.) End Creditouilles - A jazzier and rapid mix of a bunch of tracks from the score.
24.) Ratatouille Main Theme - Same as “Anyone Can Cook,” except more dramatic, and I always get a nice shiver at the point of the song when the strings take over the orchestra. Beautiful!
Oh yeah, and I copied and pasted to lyrics to “Le Festin” into a translator, the lyrics are beautiful, but I don’t want to post them here because it kinda messes up the poetry.
Beautiful summary there, TheIncredible. I’m listening to the soundtrack right now…as I type. Ahh… It’s beautiful. I can’t get enough of it…

Would it be possible for you to PM me the translation? I’m just a little curious… ![]()
I think, if I had to pick one song that I realy, really loved from the movie, it will probably be Dinner Rush. Or maybe Souped Up, one or the other. I am leaning more toward Dinner Rush.
Thanks for the translation
Very interesting lyrics and its nice to now know what the song is about. Do we know who wrote the song?
Wow. It’s almost like a summarized compilation of how I felt when I first saw Ratatouille… It’s Remy story…condensed into a song…
Thank you for the lyrics/translation, TheIncredible! ![]()
The words, the lyrics, it is like poetry to the movie! I love it. Thanks TheIncredible.
Yes - Music and Lyrics are by Michael Giacchino but the translation is done by another gentlemen whose name I can’t remember. It’s listed in the CD case though so I’ll look it up shortly.
Good thing I looked here before starting the translation! Looks like I don’t need to! ![]()
Boualem Lamhene is the translator.
Merci bocou (-5pts sp) to PV for looking it up.

So what is everyone’s favorite track on the soundtrack???
Colette Linguini - Hm. It is hard to pick just one, as there are so many Oscar-worthy tracks within the entire score itself. (No kidding here. The score is brilliant!) However, if I had to pick just one I suppose it would have to be the twenty-third track, End Creditouilles. With an upbeat, jazzy flavor culminating in a lush and soothing finale, it definitely hits a high note. ![]()
What’s yours, Colette Linguini? ![]()
– Mitch
Hmm, for me it’s hard to decide too. I kind of like the odd ones that aren’t everyone’s favorites, like Wall Rat, Cast of Cooks, Colette Shows Him Le Ropes, Special Order (which is like a reprise of the previous one), and others that I can’t remember right now. All equally. So I can’t pick just one. ![]()
