Aujourd'hui, la marguerite fait le Can-Can avec ce roue Philippe. Le bruissement du tafeta et le mouvement giratoire vertigineux des couleurs vibrantes de elle peuvent mettre en boîte la jupe enivrent.
Today, Daisy is doing the Can-Can with that roue Philippe.  The rustle of tafeta and the dizzying whirl of the vibrant colors of her can can skirt are intoxicating.

All the rovers are agog at her beauty.  The female meerkats are a bit miffed at being ignored and wish they were as lovely.

My past tense is a little wobbly.  Tried to say met, found, encountered.

according to my translator, the verb is encontrar, so I believe it was just a spelling error.
