reply to the original messages, I am not sure about this "Suck Baby Suck" song, but I would assume that it belongs to the late-period trashy Gainsbourg, as opposed to "Melody Nelson" which is some of his best work, musically and lyrically, so trying to understand those lyrics seems to me very legitimate, but unfortunately a translation would lose a lot :( And sorry, I don't have any pointers handy, I am quite satisfied with the original lyrics :)
Not all of us know French...I knew Spanish would not be of use to me in high school (sorry Efrén!) :) Zach
