Mais Madame écoutez‑moi donc
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG GER
Mais Madame écoutez-moi donc
Vous perdez quelque chose 
-  C'est mon coeur pas grand-chose
Ramassez-le donc 
Je l'ai donné je l'ai repris 
Il fut là-bas dans les tranchées
Il est ici j'en ris j'en ris 
Des belles amours que la mort a fauchées
