The 2.0's, so used to the comforts of Facebook and Twitter, it's some serious coding to overcome.

Think I got it. I Don't believe a word you say. Ben Harper/C.Musslewaite
Freedom is not a state. It is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau.. Freedom is a continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.-John Lewis

^ as a non French speaker, I appreciate Bernard's translation on Quora
Ça plane pour moi (Everything's cool for me) (Music and lyrics: Lou Deprijck, original language: Brussels French dialect)
Yam! Bam!
My cat Splash lays on my bed
Having swallowed her tongue
From drinking all my whisky
As for me, barely slept, emptied, wasted,
I had to sleep in the gutter,
Where I had a vision
In four colours
Come on, let's go!
One morning,
A chick came to my place
Cellophane doll, Chinese hair,
A band aid, having a wooden mug (being hungover),
Drank my beer, from a big glass
made of rubber
like an Indian in his igloo
Everything's cool for me
Off we go! That chick,
What a brutality, what a buzz
To send herself to the sack!
Shagged, ruined, emptied, fulfilled,
"You are the king of the divan”, (divan = couch)
Is what she told me in passing
I am the king of the divan
Everything's cool for me
Come on! Butt out, back off,
Don't touch my planet
It's not today
that the sky will fall on my head
and that I will run out of alcohol
Everything's cool with me
On we go! My chick took off, beat it
in short, it’s enough to break everything
the sink, the bar, leaving me alone
like a big idiot
I had been fucked (once more)
Everything's cool for me
NB
"Ça plane pour moi" translates literally as 'it's gliding for me". It's an outdated expression, such as 'everything's groovy'
"brimé" can mean vexed, frustrated or also bullied, hazed.
"gueule de bois" literally: (having a) 'wooden snout’ = (being) hungover
"T'occupe" is short for "ne t'en occupe pas" - don't bother about it OR (here) mind your own business (the implication being "butt out", “leave”, “beat it”).
"T'inquiète" is short for "ne t'inquiète pas", and has a similar general meaning: don’t worry about it OR (here) mind your own business (or “fuck off”)
"Touche pas ma planète" literally = "don't touch my planet" but is the equivalent of "get off of my cloud".
"It’s not today… que l'alcool me manquera" is ambiguous, probably deliberately, and means both "It won't be today that the sky will fall on my head and I’ll run out of alcohol" and "It won't be today that the sky will fall on my head and that I’ll crave alcohol”
‘C’est marre’ would mean ‘it’s enough’, ‘that does it’ (I had to look it up, but never heard it) -’j’en ai marre’ = 'I’m fed up with it’
