I heard of the this band Dionysos a couple months ago and just yesterday i managed to get the song Coiffeur D&#39;Oiseau on my pc but since my french isnt that great maybe someone here at RL could translate it for me? Ive tried Freetranslation.com but it translates real shitty <_< so please help me out here comrades, especially the french ones ;)
here are the lyrics:

J&#39;ai rencontré une fille étrange
Qui se disait coiffeur d&#39;oiseau
Elle se cachait dans les branches
Elle attrapait tout les oiseaux
Elle découpait tout plein de formes
N&#39;importe comment dans leurs ailes
Avec ses ciseaux de couture
Et un joli petit peigne ...

...

Et tous les oiseaux se sont mis
A voler un peu de travers
Et ils se cognaient dans les branches
Et ils se cognaient même entre eux
Certains se fracassaient par terre
En atterrissant à l&#39;envers
L&#39;un d&#39;eux dans la roue d&#39;un vélo
Comme harponné dans les rayons
Faisait penser à une coiffe
De chef indien ensanglantée &#33;

Not sure how good this is, I&#39;m no Frenchman:

Hairdresser Of birds

I met a strange girl
Who said hairdresser of birds
She hid in the branches
She caught all the birds
It cut out very full with forms
Anyhow in their wings
With its scissors of seam
And a pretty small comb.
Blow the birds put themselves
To steal a little through
And they were knocked in the branches
And they were knocked even between them
Some were crashed to pieces by ground
Or landed with back
One of them in the wheel of a bicycle
As harpooned in the rays
Made think of a cap
Of Indian head ensanglantée.
No more to hair cut for the birds...
