Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Ta paille azur de lavandes, Ne crois pas avec ce cil Osé que tu me la vendes Comme a l'hypocrite s'il En tapisse la muraille De lieux les absolus lieux Pour le ventre qui se raille Renaître aux sentiments bleus. Mieux entre une envahissante Chevelure ici mets-la Que le brin salubre y sente Zéphirine, Paméla Ou conduise vers l'époux Les prémices de tes poux.
