Salut, Jean Pierre,

First of all, it's a good performance. I particularly like the electric guitar. Bravo!

In my opinion, there are only a few spots in the translation where it's difficult to grasp the sense of the French lyrics. Not surprisingly, those issues have to do with slang or figurative language. That said, I think it's a decent translation.
