Yes... well i think they are all pretty easy, buttt... i dont get this one:

coups de pourquoi.. i cannot translate it and i cant find my dictionary. I know there are many sayings with coup, such as.. coup de foudre (love at first sight).. so i wouldn't know how to translate it.. What does its turkish translation mean?

No.. this is a good way.. because my translation is different.. so.. mayeb we can learn a little french in the meanwhile too

Dont leave me
We have to forget
Everything that can be forgotten
What already has gone away/Who already runs away (?)
Forgetting the times
Of the misunderstandings
And the lost times
To know how to forget these hours
Which sometimes kill,
With reasons, (or maybe is meant, without reasons)
A happy heart.

It is nice to see how two translations can differ. I enjoy French Well, you continue with your translation - but if you get stuck feel free to ask me. Or, afterwards, I can check it for you if you like. I hope one day my Turkish will reach the level of my French!

Don't leave me
It's necessary to forget.
All can be forgotten
Which already flee
To forget the time
Of misunderstandings
And the time that is lost
To know how
To forget the hours
That kill sometimes
The heart of happiness
With the blows of why.
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

Who died because of not having
Met you
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

We have often seen
The reflashing of the fire
Of an ancient volcano
Which we believed was too old
It's told that
There're burned grounds
Giving more corns
Than the fine April.
And when the evening comes
So that a sky blazes,
The red and the black
Don't they marry each other?
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

Don't leave me
I won't cry any more
I won't speak any more
I will hide myself there
To watch you
Dance and smile
And to listen to you
Sing and then laugh
Let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your hand
The shadow of your dog
But don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me
Don't leave me

What a lovely translation you have just made Meltem! Well done

I need to sing at school for music class.. i was planning to do this song.. i think i will mix it with a turkish verse because then it's more 'me' hehe

Yes i think the translation you made is very well done!

well, I think I should have some english mistakes, so maybe you can correct them.

and I like the version of Nina Simone of this song, too. It's funny to hear the American French But her voice is really nice.

Esther if you can, record while your singing and send it to me
