Today's translation challenge: find lyrics to three obscure French songs when you don't know title or artist and just get to hear a short clip of each.
Done! Thank you again, Google. And thank you Jean-Philippe, my white-haired French teacher who forced me to sit through hours of listening comprehension with everything from Georges Brassens to Celine Dion, not to mention a very poetic rendition of La Prose du Transsibérien et de la Petite Jéhanne de France.
"Dis Blaise, sommes-nous bien loin de Montmartre?"
Yes, I am very far from Montmartre - where I went only once and came back with a beautiful yarn decoration braided into my hair - but I'm not helpless. I have come very far.
