Subject: RE: Help: Any Francophone Trenet/Piaf fans?
I can probably help, but have a question of my own - the ultimate bilingual challenge is to find a satisfactory English translation of the following Piaf lyric, which still manages to convey the double entendre

"La fille de joie est belle, Au coin de la rue là-bas, Elle a une clientèle, Qui lui remplit son bas"....

I've never manged anything satisfactory
