Après
Language: French (Français) after the Arabic (العربية)
Elle s’était endormie dans mes bras Pour la protéger contre la fraicheur de la nuit j’avais doucement étalé ses cheveux sur ses épaules. Dans l'herbe autour de nous les insectes reprenaient un à un leur musique. C’est l’heure où les mères bercent leur petite fille
