The French is actually not that difficult and repays the attention you give it (the metre and rhyme are difficult to translate successfully into English).

Sorry I can't recommend a printed English translation (have always just googled random bits and pieces alongside my French edition). However there is a black and white film version from 1950 in English, starring Jose Ferrer as Cyrano, that I rate pretty highly (better than the Depardieu version IMHO). The whole thing is on YouTube.
