Well done.....my only suggestion would be to make your translation of "Je me fous du passe" a little stronger. The phrase "je me fous" is, I understand, at least bordereline obscene. That would be in character for a singer who was raised in a bordello and spent much of her early life on the streets.

Aside from that, very well done...........
