And if you could also tell us about the kind of song/tune it is, it would also help. "We will always..." = "nous VERB+rons toujours", what does this ---rons sound like? "You are pretty but then it's not for me" would be "tu es jolie mais pas pour moi/mais ce n'est pas pour moi"... |

"fret ajour" could be "f'rait un jour", "or ssolay" is "au soleil" (in the sunshine). I first thought about "Le lundi au soleil" (pop song from 1972) but there's nothing like "you are pretty but it's not for me" in it. |
