Bahalolo
Language: French (Français) after the Unknown Language
J'ai vu le gars qui est si svelte, Kahouloulé L'abeille chante Yololo Le lit est doux comme de la loutre, Le chef ne parle plus, il est tout seule, Je meurs. Mon coeur choit, Yololo. La cloche sonne Ce lui qui trébuche tombe Le coucou baisse la queue Je m'attends pas la pluie Et m'en vais le long des arbres.
