Post 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.

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.
