This is Francoise Hardy. Not quite the status of Edit Piaf, but still really popular singer in France. Shes not much of a looker but if you were to listen without knowing what she looked like... Its a really beautiful record. A lot of great lyrics. Translation doesn't do them justice, the songs need to be listened and appreciated in the original French. I'm not a fan of recoreds re-recorded in another language. If you want some quick translations though just post what you want translated. In short, she's wonderful and makes me want to be locked up in a room with a French girl so she can just talk in French. There have been many have asleep vegetative listens to this record.
