Hi all... I recently discovered the "Pierre de Gaillande sings George Brassens" albums and it's like reading Neruda or Pushkin for the first time. I'd always assumed lyrical translation invariably turns out slack ("Just like mouse he love the riiice") but apparently it can work in the hands of a skilled conduit.
Anyone else I should check out, French chanson or otherwise? Thanks.
