Le petit chat est mort
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
C'est le vilain monsieur de la maison voisine Qui a tué minet d'un coup de carabine. Nous l'avons mis en terre au fond du jardinet; Près de lui j'ai posé la poupée de baudruche, La bobine de fil, le coussin de peluche Où ronronnait Minet. Et depuis la pluie tombe et mouille le jardin Le vieux marronier pleure sur la petite tombe; Les feuilles on du chagrin.
