IPA + Pronunciation | Je veux vivre

DISCLAIMER!
To transcribe the French language into IPA symbols we have to make some choices and we should keep in mind that the process of vocal emission is going to interfere with our pronunciation.
I have chosen [œ] to transcribe the “e” of “je”, but depending on the position of the letter and the musical line I have sometimes noted it as [ə]
You might also find that I can pronounce the [œ] differently within the same world, this because I didn’t want to use [ø] or [ə] for most of the schwas, penalising the poor original [œ] of the word “œuf”.
Also remember that IPA is either black or white and does not allow shapes of grey, another example here: the [ɛ] of “les” is closer then the Italian “è” but not close enough to be written as [e].
So… remember to work with a language/vocal coach IRL, he/she will hear what actually comes out from your mouth ;)

Ah
Je veux vivre
Dans ce rêve
Qui m'enivre
Ce jour encore
Douce flamme
Je te garde
Dans mon âme
Comme un trésor
Je veux vivre
Dans ce rêve
Qui m'enivre
Ce jour encore
Douce flamme
Je te garde
Dans mon âme
Comme un trésor
Cette ivresse
De jeunesse
Ne dure, hélas, qu'un jour
Puis vient l'heure
Où l'on pleure
Le coeur cède à l'amour
Et le bonheur fuit sans retour
Ah
Je veux vivre
Dans ce rêve
Qui m'enivre
Ce jour encore
Douce flamme
Je te garde
Dans mon âme
Comme un trésor
Loin de l'hiver morose
Laisse-moi
Laisse-moi sommeiller
Et respirer la rose
Respirer la rose
Avant de l'effeuiller
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Douce flamme
Reste dans mon âme
Comme un doux trésor
Longtemps encore
Ah
Comme un trésor
Longtemps encore

Bless your soul for this haha !

ahah thanks!

I totally agree with you the way you explained and applied "oe" instead of the single usage of [ə] for schwas. Your way helps singer's diction more clearly delivered. Thank you so much!
