Even if he is less under the spotlight today, Etienne Daho stays one of the most important singer-songwriter of the french pop stage of that last 30 years. I'm sure that If he was born English or American, he probably will have been becoming a superstar. I post some songs i love for you. Some other good Daho songs are not available because of EMI restriction.

Luz Casal (a well-known singer and a friend of Daho) made a Spanish cover of Duel au soleil. Besides, they sang it as a duet:

Yes. And I've thought the same thing while listening to songs in Spanish, Portuguese or Italian. But at least, in this case, Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys) has mentioned Daho as one of his main influences. By the way: apart from the central meaning, don't you think there is a subtle (and funny) allusion to this matter in Le Premier Jour's video?:
