If you don't speak French just leave and save yourself the trouble.

Peut quelqu'un m'aider à se traduire ces paroles? Je pense je sais le sens, mais j'ai une présantation orale lundi, et je veux passer cette chanson pour la classe. Je voudrais l'expliquer s'ils ont des questions.

"J'ai" par Debout Sur Le Zinc

J'ai pour te retenir trois fois rien, un sourire  
Quelques succédanés cultivés en secret  
Livré aux quatre vents, éparpillé gentiment  
Depuis quelques années laisse moi me rassembler  

Je te prie je t'implore  
De ne pas sceller mon sort  
A grand coups de couperet  
C'est dangereux tu le sais  

J'ai et je le déplore quelques fois quelques torts  
Je suis un homme tu sais et pas un homme parfait  
J'ai longtemps réfléchis et cette fois j'ai saisi  
Crois moi j'ai des regrets, moi, qui ne regrette jamais  

Il fait si froid dehors  
Ouvre moi mon trésor  

J'ai pour te plaire encore des histoires cousues d'or  
Dès que tu n'connais pas que j'te dirais tout bas  
Sans toi pas d'avenir : des sanglots des soupirs  
Un ciel d'encre et de jais j'm'en sortirais jamais  

Je t'appelle au secours  
Ouvre moi mon amour  
Faut savoir pardonner  
Cette fois je vais changer  

J'ai comment te le dire plutôt confiance en l'avenir  
Pourquoi se dire adieu quand on peut vivre à deux  
Sans toi pas d'avenir : des sanglots des soupirs  
Un ciel d'encre et de jais j'm'en sortirais jamais

Il faudra m'enfermer  
Si tu veux me quitter  
Je m'en fous je crie fort  
Pour que tu m'aimes encore  

J'aiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiai  
Pour te retenir  
J'aiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiai  
Pour te retenir  
J'aiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiai  
Pour te retenir  
Trois fois rien  
Trois fois rien  
Trois fois rien


Qu'est-ce que c'est le sens des constructions grammaires avec avoir (comme "J'ai comment te le dire," and "j'ai pour te retenir," etc., j'ai compris les constructions qui sont le passé composé)? Ce sont les seuls mots que je ne comprends pas, je pense. Je peux traduire le reste (je pense...)

Merci en avance!

It says;

Can someone help me translate these words? I think I know the meaning, but I have a hearing Monday Presentation, and I want this song to pass the class. Let me explain if they have questions.

"I" by standing on the Zinc

I remember you for next to nothing, a smile
Some substitutes grown in secret
Delivered to the four winds, scattered kindly
In recent years leaves me I gather

I pray I t'implore
Not to seal my fate
A grand hammer blows
This is dangerous you know

I regret and I sometimes some wrongs
I am a man you know and not a perfect man
I thought long and this time I took
I think I have any regrets, I never regret that

It's so cold outside
I opened my treasure

I appeal to you more stories sewn gold
Once you n'connais j'te would say that not all low
Without you no future: the tears of sighs
A sky of ink jet and would never j'm'en

I call you for help
I opened my love
Should Learn to forgive
This time I'm gonna change

I tell you how rather confidence in the future
Why say goodbye when you can live in two
Without you no future: the tears of sighs
A sky of ink jet and would never j'm'en

It will shut myself
If you want me to leave
I do not care I shout strong
For that you still love me

J'aiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiai
For you remember
J'aiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiai
For you remember
J'aiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiaiai
For you remember
Three times nothing
Three times nothing
Three times nothing


What is the meaning of buildings with grammars have (like "how I tell you," and "I have to remember you," etc.. I realized that the buildings are composed past)? These are the only words I do not understand, I think. I can translate the rest (I think ...)

Thank you in advance!

Also I assume you don't speak French because that's not what I was asking.

Qu'est-ce que vous devez savoir?

Le sens des constructions avec avoir. C'est un peu dificile pour moi mais je ne sais pas pourquoi. Spécialement, ces mots dessous:

J'ai pour te retenir

J'ai et je... (Je comprends le reste de cet sentence)

J'ai pour...

J'ai comment te le dire

Je comprends 'avoir', mais, qu'est-ce que c'est ces constructions?

Je dirais qu'ils ne sont que des constructions poétiques; comme en Anglais, l'auteur a varié le syntaxe:

"J'ai pour te retenir ... un sourire," = "J'ai un sourire pour te retenir," = "I've a smile to retain you (with)."
"J'ai comment te le dire plutôt confiance en l'avenir," = "J'ai (comment te le dire?) plutôt confiance en l'avenir," = "I've (how to say it?) rather confidence in the future."

C'est marrant - on a juste commencé d'étudier ces formes syntactiques dans ma classe d'anglais A.P. La dernière s'appelle "parenthèse," où l'auteur susurre quelque chose au(x) lecteur(s), et l'autre a un nom grec soi-même, mais je ne m'en rappelle plus.
