Notre banc
Language: French (Français) after the Arabic (العربية)
Elle m'avait dit qu'Elle m'attendrait dans cette demeure où nous nous sommes tant aimes. Je ne suis pas revenu. Quand tu passeras sur la route de Dar-Ould-Zidah, arrête-toi devant un jardin que gardent deux cypres, et crie Son nom. Si personne ne répond, pousse la porte, entre, et donne un peu d'eau à des rosiers qui entourent un banc de marbre.
