I am sick. It’s like con crud, only the timing is wrong for me to have picked it up at the RenFaire. So for the last couple days, mostly I have devoted my energies to sleeping, drinking quarts of tea, and watching the BBC adaptations of Strong Poison and Have His Carcase (1987; much better than I had expected). And in order to practice my French, I have been translating the songs of Jacques Brel to which I am currently listening. “La chanson de Jacky” turned up in yesterday’s meme and I felt honor-bound to translate it, after which the rest of the album looked sad and neglected. Naturally, I am now posting the results.
There will probably be several more over the next couple of days; it's a two-disc set. Thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fleurdelis28 for checking some of the more idiomatic bits, and feel free to comment on any mistranslations I may have made. My French is entirely self-taught, and there are enough bad translations in the world already.
(Cut for not-French.)
