Bois de Merveilles - BRA duh MARE-vell-Es
Language: French
Translation: Drink of Wonders
I think "Le Bois de Merveilles" was meant, because that means
"Forest of Wonders", which makes sense with the song ><
Yeah it's Forest of wonders and not drink of wonder ^_^
Ju te veux - juh/juw tuh V-uh
Language: French
Translation: ??? (incorrect usage)
I can't translate this because it doesn't make sense.
Ju isn't really a word, but could be mistaken with Je.
In which case it would mean (directly) "I...you...eyes".
...maybe "I see you" was meant? O.o
Je= Ju
(Sometimes frenchs like to tell Ju and not Je it's like You and Ya <3)
Je te veux = I want You
And for tentation the "tion" is like "cion" in english

Just some little corrections: Moi Dix Mois should be pronounced more like Mwah Die Mwah (the "s" or "z" sound is only pronounced when the next word begins with a vowel). Also, "baiser" is a little more like "beh-zay"... these are only suggestions though (but I'm Canadian, so you know I'm right razz jk)

Mmmm what about Dir en Grey itself? Many people pronounce it the way the Japanese do, which is "Diru an gurey", but as someone on Batsu pointed out, why pronounce it wrong when we can pronounce it correctly? So I think it's actually pronounced "Deer N (like how you would pronounce the letter) Grey (like the colour)". You all probably know this already, but I wanted to put it here just in case. ^-^;;

[ -P a n d a . S o a p- ] Mmmm what about Dir en Grey itself?

You all probably know this already, but I wanted to put it here just in case. ^-^;; There's nothing wrong with saying it all Engrish-y like, but yes, it is pronounced "Deer in gray". Some people, myself included, do refer to them as Diru sometimes. (Same with L'Arc~en~Ciel sometimes being referred to as Laruku.) Personally, I've never heard any non-Japanese say "Diru en Gureii" though... [I've never heard any non-Japanese say "Laruku en Shieru" either...] I did note that it isn't "durr in gray"... I'm never gonna forgive that MTV lady for saying it that way. Dx [Nor am I gonna forgive her for putting such emphasis on "ru" in Kaoru's name...]

xd I call Diru, Diru. Can't help it. xP But that is the proper pronunciation~
Didn't MTV make fun of Diru way back in September? >__O I'm not sure myself...I saw it on Batsu and was like, "Those damn MTV bastards!" Dx
