On lit and 2. On papote.]
Even though you are at the beginner’s level, you should be able to grasp the general meaning of the song, however, the subtleties will be much harder to decipher.
As you have observed in previous activities, online translators can be useful for translating simple, straightforward language but can also produce unwanted errors. Below we will observe the English translation of the song lyrics which was obtained via an online translator.

Step 2. Read the English translation. Do you notice anything that does not sound right in English, odd sentences, phrasing, etc. ? Underline it. Share with your class and make a list.
Step 3. Once the list is on the board, you will go over it with your teacher who will explain what it means in French.
Step 4. Now that you know what the text means in French, rewrite it so it makes sense in your variety of English. Share your version with the class and discuss your choices.
