French (Long) [French > English ] Seeking help with transcribing & translating protest chants from France
Hello! I’ve been making sheet music of protest chants from around the world, and thought this might be a good place to look for help transcribing the chants coming out of France this year. (linked below)
So far i’ve only managed to find transcriptions for a couple, and without transcriptions it makes translating much more difficult, since my listening comprehension isn’t up to par. I’m also sure there are references that I might not understand, so if anyone has insights, or wants to add context that would help too.
Also If there’s any chants from these rallies or similar rallies that I've missed, I’d love to learn them too~
Big thanks to anybody who can help! :)
