En chantant, a French song by Michel Sardou (with English Translation and Etymologies)

[Updated 6 January, 2017]

En Chantant is one of Michel Sardou's best songs. The Youtube version below has French onscreen lyrics. If you click below the fold, you can read my translation of En Chantant, followed by notes that explain French words which are similar to English words.

The video below, made when Michel Sardou was rather young, shows its age, but it is still quite enjoyable to listen to. A much later video, made when he sang at the Olympia Theater in 1995, appears in another post on this blog with French lyrics and IPA phonetics.
