Thats the name of my favorite song and I know absolutely no French whatsoever. If there's a French-speaking person who can help me pronounce it I'd appreciate it!

zhuh shãt poor pa-say luh tã
It means "I sing to pass time."
Pronunciation notes:
*The "j" in "je" is a soft sound similar to the "zh" sound spelled with an "s" in English words like "closure" and "vision"
*The "ch" is pronounced as an English "sh"
*The "an" in "chante" and the "em" in "temps" are nasalized "a" vowels. Pronounce a short "a" vowel and make it nasal by lowering your jaw to close the passageway between the nasal cavity and the back of the throat, thereby nasalizing it.
*The "er" in "passer" is pronounced "ay" (although without any dipthong or vowel slide); the "r" is silent.
*The "p" and "s" in "temps" are silent.
Hope that helps.
