You're welcome, here's the translation, I made it with an online translator and I changed some little things but I think and I hope it's comprehensible 
| Quote: |
A la 3ème place du classement des chanteurs écolos que vous préférez, vous avez voté à 19% pour le petit prince de l'Acid Jazz, Jay Kay, chanteur et leader charismatique du groupe Jamiroquai.
En 1992 sort son tout 1er album Emergency On Planet Earth, traduction: Il y a urgence sur Terre. Dans cet opus, on fait la connaissance d'un jeune artiste à gros chapeau qui nous fait la morale sur notre façon de gérer la planète.
Au début, je pensais vraiment que mon 1er album allait réveiller les gens.
Et le message passe plutôt bien, Jamiroquai devient un phénomène mondial, porte parole de la cause écolo. Il confirme son succès avec ses 2 albums suivants mais abandonne peut le discours vert engagé. Et en 1996, c'est le drame, dans le clip du single Cosmic Girl, Jay Kay s'exhibe à fond la caisse dans des joujoux bien chers et très polluants, bref l'image d'artiste écolo à volé en éclat mais le chanteur avoue que celà l'arrange.
Je n'voulais pas devenir la bonne conscience écolo de toute une génération et le rester toute ma vie. Les gens m'disait: "T'es écolo, t'es écolo mais alors pourquoi t'as une voiture?" Et moi, j'passais mon temps à me justifier, c'était flippant, alors j'ai laissé tomber.
Après cet épisode, Jamiroquai privilégie donc son propre parcours plutôt que les destinées de l'environnement.
Tu sais j'ai favorisé ma carrière parce que j'en avais marre, mais vraiment marre de toujours me justifier.
OK, on a compris, désormais toute allusion à l'écologie est évitée dans l'univers que Jamiroquai véhicule, l'écologie relève dorénavant de sa seule sphère privée. |
 With the 3rd place of the classification of the singers ecologists whom you prefer, you voted to 19% for the little prince of Acid Jazz, Jay Kay, singer and charismatic leader of Jamiroquai. In 1992 released his whole 1st album: Emergency On Planet Earth.
In this opus, one makes the knowledge of a young artist with large hat which makes us morals on our way of managing planet.
At the beginning, I really thought that my 1st album was going to awake people.
And the message passes rather well, Jamiroquai becomes a world phenomenon, carries word of the ecologist cause. He confirms his success with the 2 following albums but gives up can the committed green speech. And in 1996, it's the drama, in the clip of the single Cosmic Girl, Jay Kay expose himself in quite expensive toys and very pollutants, in short the image of artist ecologist flew into pieces but the singer admits that it suits him better.
I didn't want to become the good conscience ecologist of a whole generation and to remain to it all my life. People said to me: "You're ecolo, you're ecolo but then why have you got a car?" And me, I spent my time justifying myself, I became scared, so I dropped.
After this episode, Jamiroquai thus privileges its own course rather than the destinies of the environment.
You know I supported my career because I had some enough to always justify myself.
OK, one understood, from now on any allusion to ecology is avoided in the universe that Jamiroquai conveys, ecology concerns his only private sphere henceforth.
Forgive my bad english
