About This Video

For several years I performed as the artist Katara, an incredible adventure that carried me around the globe. This is an interview I had done that tells part of my story.

I’ve always loved learning new languages (though I don’t consider myself truly fluent in anything but English). As a songwriter, exploring new languages allowed me the freedom to create music in new, exciting ways.

My song “L-O-V-E” uses several different languages to tell your soulmate how you feel about them. I’ll include the lyrics and translation below. 

L-O-V-E Lyrics

我爱你  I love you (Mandarin)
Je t’aime, mon ami

A2
I love you, my friend (French)
Oh however you say it,  
Boy you make me so happy honey  
In Español  “Te amo” In Spanish “I love you”
“Ti amo” in Italiano “I love you” in Italian
In Cantonese say “我愛你”  
 
Baby I’m head over heels in L-O-V-E  
L-O-V-E with you  
I’m in L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E with you  
 
The stars are很美丽 The stars are very beautiful (Mandarin)
And you say I’m très jolie And you say I’m very pretty (French) 
我们没有钱 We don’t have any money
But we’ve got amour instead But we’ve got love (French) instead
 
L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E with you  
I’m in L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E with you  
 
I’ll be your ragazza I’ll be your girl (Italian)
We’ll chill in this piazza  
You get down on knee  
I say “Yes, 我很愿意!” I say “Yes, I will marry you!”
 
L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E with you  
I’m in L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E with you  
 
No matter however I say it  
Or any way I phrase it  
My love, I love you  
Oh, my love… my love, I love you.
