by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895 - 1952), as Paul Éluard
Après le combat dans la foule
Language: French (Français)
Après le combat dans la foule,
Tu t'endormais dans la foule.
Maintenant, tu n'auras qu'un souffle près de toi,
Et ta femme partageant ta couche
T'inquiétera bien plus que les mille autres bouches.
