The irony of the situation is, I should actually be translating stuff into French...but government papers are not as interesting as lyrics, unfortunately for me...
And you're welcome :)

--> Does this idiom exist in English too? It means she fe more |
| The Cigarette
Just one last comment:
"When we were happy
They had no fear of combat"
--> I think you should keep 'When our bodies were happy', or else is looks strange with the 'they' of the next sentence.

| The Cigarette
De rien. It's nice to feel useful once in a while ;) |

LOL you've got twitchy fingers today. That's "brace", not "embrace" :bigsmile:
See here for an explanation of the idiom. The last po more |
| Mom
Don't worry, we combrace ourselves* but there it is -> a "com" too many, and "mais voilà" is more like "but still" (more literaly "but despite all this, there is still something:") |
| Mom
"(ne te fais) pas de bile" means "don't worry".
"serrer les fesses" is rather relaxed French. It could be translated as "brace oneself" in this context, I think. |

That's fixed. I had to rename "Fleur" to "Fleur Masson" though. |

| Tell Me "Tu"
s'il résonnait à une personne -> here it's a person in the grammatical sense

Oops... I had started working on the same translation in parallel.
Will be interesting to compare the outcome. |
