Réponse des Cosaques Zaporogues au Sultan de Constantinople
Language: French (Français)
Plus criminel que Barabbas Cornu comme les mauvais anges Quel Belzébuth es-tu là-bas Nourri d'immondice et de fange Nous n'irons pas à tes sabbats Poisson pourri de Salonique Long collier des sommeils affreux D'yeux arrachés à coup de pique Ta mère fit un pet foireux Et tu naquis de sa colique Bourreau de Podolie Amant Des plaies des ulcères des croûtes Groin de cochon cul de jument Tes richesses garde-les toutes Pour payer tes médicaments
