Description
This version of Malgré Moi is an arrangement for five cellos of the original duet (also available on this site)
It is performed here by the Budapest Scoring cellos

For information, the poem (with my translation) on which the music is based goes as follows:
Embauché malgré moi ... Taken on, against my will,
dans l'usine à idées ... at the thought factory,
j'ai refusé de pointer ...I refused to clock on
Mobilisé de même ... Conscripted just the same
dans l'armée des idées ...into the thought army
j'ai déserté ...I deserted
Je n'ai jamais compris ...I've never understood
grand-chose ...much
Il n'y a jamais ....There is never
grand-chose ...much
ni petite chose ...nor little details
Il y a autre chose. ...there's something else
Autre chose ...something else
c'est ce que j'aime ...that's what I like
qui me plaît ...what pleases me
et que je fais. ...and what I do
Embauché malgré moi ...Taken on, against my will...
