				  Can anyone here translate French to English?  
					
						I recently discovered this song artist, she has some of the greatest music I've ever listened to, but I can't understand what she's saying because she sings it in French. I've tried looking to an English translation but with no luck. I even tried to find the French lyrics so that I could try to use the Google Translation thing, but avast, no luck still, and I don't know how to jot down the lyrics from listening to it because I've never taken French. "Coeur de Pirate" is the Artist's band name thing. The song I want translated is called Francis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxYUgf_qjwQ

						Francis, tu as tant de choses à dire Mais le tout reste enfermé Et quand tu ne sais plus quoi dire Tu te mets à pleurer Mais ça, ton public le voit pas Tu l’incites à rêver, pendant que toi tu le regardes Francis, les mots restent bien coincés, devant cette fille qui ne demande Pas mieux que de se faire aimer Toi, tu ne sais pas comme t’y prendre Ta gorge resserrée, et ton cœur bat de plus belle Alors que tes yeux sont sur elle
  Mais moi, je ne t’oublierai pas et je compte sur toi Pour venir en aide À ceux qui ressentent pour toi, ce que tu écris dans ces chansons pour elle
  Francis, je m’en vais bientôt et je pense très très fort à toi Pendant que mes doigts au piano te jouent tout ce que je te dois Et rappelle-toi que tu peux avoir le monde à tes pieds Si tu ne te laisses pas abattre par ceux qui te laisse de côté
  Et moi, je ne t’oublierai pas et je compte sur toi Pour venir en aide À ceux qui ressentent pour toi, ce que tu écris dans ces chansons pour elle Mais moi, je ne t’oublierai pas et je compte sur toi Pour venir en aide À ceux qui ressentent pour toi, ce que tu écris dans ces chansons pour elle
  I'll translate that for you in a bit.
  Edit: Francis, you have so many things to say  But the whole remains locked up  And when you cannot any more what say  You start to cry  But that, your public does not see it  You incite it to dream, while you you look at it  Francis, the words remain wedged well, in front of this girl who does not ask  Pas better than to be made like  You, you do not know like taking to you there  Your tightened throat, and your heart beats of more beautiful  Whereas your eyes are on it 
  But me, I will not forget you and I count on you  To come to assistance  With those which feel for you, which you write in these songs for it
  Francis, I from go away soon and I think very very extremely of you  While my fingers with the piano play you all that I owe  And remembers you that you can have the world with your feet  If you leashes not to fall down by those which leaves you side
  And me, I will not forget you and I count on you  To come to assistance  With those which feel for you, which you write in these songs for it  But me, I will not forget you and I count on you  To come to assistance  With those which feel for you, which you write in these songs for it
  ...That's extremely rough, I just ran it through Babelfish. I take French in Canada, and I have for a long time, but I fail almost every term so I couldn't do it my self. You should still be able to understand it though.
  Beautiful song, and beautiful singer.
