Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CAT ENG

Une roulotte couverte en tuiles
Le cheval mort un enfant maître
Pensant le front bleu de haine
A deux seins s'abattant sur lui
Comme deux poings

Ce mélodrame nous arrache
La raison du cœur.

Una rulot coberta en teules

Language: Catalan (Català) after the French (Français)

Una rulot coberta en teules
El cavall mort un infant mestre
Pensant el front blau d’odi
Amb dos pits que s’abaten al seu damunt
Com dos punys

Aquest melodrama ens arrenca
La raó del cor.
