Examples from texts

I can't stand to sing the same song the same way two nights in succession, let alone two years or ten years.
Pour ma part, il m'est impossible de chanter deux fois de suite la même chanson de la même manière, encore moins pendant deux ou dix ans.

You have never heard Harris sing a comic song, or you would understand the service I had rendered to mankind.
Vous n’avez jamais entendu Harris chanter de chanson comique, sinon vous comprendriez que je venais de rendre un fier service à l’humanité.

It is one of Harris's fixed ideas that he CAN sing a comic song; the fixed idea, on the contrary, among those of Harris's friends who have heard him try, is that he CAN'T and never will be able to, and that he ought not to be allowed to try.
Harris s’est mis en tête qu’il sait pousser la chansonnette. Mais ceux de ses amis qui l’ont entendu sont persuadés qu’il ne sait pas et ne saura jamais chanter, et qu’on ne devrait même pas lui permettre d’essayer.

"Did you see her, chief - did you get a glimpse of her pleasant countenance, or come close enough to her ear, to sing in it the song she loves to hear?"

Moreover, he was not in her way, and she willingly tolerated him, though his conversational powers were not great. It was company all the same, and she would still sing her ballad in a low and expiring voice.
Du reste, il ne la gênait pas, elle le tolérait volontiers, bien qu'il manquât de conversation; c'était une compagnie tout de même, et elle se mettait à chanter sa romance, d'une voix basse et mourante.
