Art/Literary - Musik / song title | | Französisch Begriff oder Satz: C’est ça le vrai bonheur | Hi there
This is actually from a German-English job in which Josephine Baker's "C’est ça le vrai bonheur" is mentioned with the German translation alongside.
I've Googled around but to no avail.
Does anyone know of an "official" English translation - if indeed there is one.
If not, what would be the most elegant way of translating it?
TIA!
p.s. Yes, I'm aware it roughly means "This (here) is true happiness" |

xxxCMJ_Trans: 3:29pm Oct 25, 2007: It's actually a Spanish song called Esto es felicidad - HTH !!!
BrigitteHilgner: 3:38pm Oct 25, 2007: I agree with CMJ_Trans - the Spanish title seems to be the original one:
www.amazon.com/Fabulous-Josephine-Baker/dp/B000003FH0
xxxFrancis Lee: 3:49pm Oct 25, 2007: a) I see (top right) that the forum debate about "flags" has been settled rather swiftly! b) Thanks for the info - which makes my task even more difficult!
xxxFrancis Lee: 11:12am Oct 26, 2007: Thanks to all. I almost went for Rose's idea, but decided to go with the flow.

Appreciate that you liked it. Please note however that if the actual title of the song sung by Josephine Baker was "Esto es Felicidad" then the points really should go to CMJ Trans for digging that up. |

Fragesteller: That's funny. My French is pretty rusty - but I orginally had the idea of "indeed" as well. After all, it's not simply "C’est" or even "Ceci est" (le vrai bonheur), right?

Fragesteller: Convincing!
Fragesteller: Wow. Is this type of honesty and generosity typical for the French-English site? Anyway: although I appreciate CMJ's input, a) I specifically needed an English rendering b) she didn't post an answer! ;-)
