But the reverse isn't necessarily true. I have a superb version by Les Compagnons de la Chanson of 1) Ghost Riders in the Sky/Cavaliers du Ciel, and 2) Hava Nagila, which when I ran the French by my Israeli cousin was found to be an excellent rendition. The trick is not to attempt to translate each line, but take the image the verse gives you, and write a verse to match that image. Mais je vais apprendre les paroles de feu M. le fou chantant, I like him a lot. Paix aît son âme.
