• 1. that could be understood as 'pas [fils/fille] de famille'(the son/daugher of a whealthy familiy) or simply '[je n'ai] pas de famille'(I've got no family)
• 2. a wealthy near suburb of Paris
• 3. 'titi' is a kind of archetype for Paris inhabitants
• 4. lit. 'I'm not all for cock-a-doodle-doos'. An allusion to the cockerel, France's national symbol, in a slightly derisive way
• 5. could be read as 'there's quite a bit of swing in Paris', but the other meaning is valid too, and easier to translate
• 6. Not exactly the current meaning. Trump was a long way from becoming president at the time
• 7. couldn't really mimic the assonance 'Mayer / meilleure'

This translation does not claim to be of any particular value.
