Hi there!
ReplyDeletePlease allow me to make some correctons:
"Je n'sais qu'faire de mes dix doigts"
means "I don't know what to do with my ten fingers".
And "Alors j'les claque claque claque claque devant les"
means "So I clap clap clap clap them in front of the"
Those two I'm sure of. Now, regarding "Qui est c'type qui t'fait du plat?", I'm completely sure that it doesn't mean "Who is the guy you made the meal?", but I'm not entirely sure about it's meaning.
I think it means "Who's this guy makes you feel flat?" (also, it makes much more sense)
Anyway, good work! Keep on!
PS: I'm an Argentinean with a profound knowledge of English and a decent knowledge of French. Also, because it is a romance language, French is really similar to Spanish both in terms of morphology and syntactic structure (not to count we share the same roots for many words), to the extent that a Spanish speaker can understand pretty well texts in French without any particular knowledge. That gives me and advantage in the matter of interpreting the lyrics' meaning, enhanced by my four years of French studies.
PSS: I trust that in the 3 years that've passed you've acquired a better understanding of French and therefore you should now be able to understand why the corrections I've marked have sense; if you don't just let me know and I'll explain it to you.
Good luck!
Thanks, a lot for your suggestions, I've incorporated them. Sadly my French hasn't gotten much better, but I'm still trying...
