Tu peux partir: Le malheur est pour moi. Et que t'importe si je ne suis plus belle ? J'aurais pu t'oublier : nos trois mioches sont là. Tu peux partir. Le malheur est pour moi. Tu restes malgré toi ; nos trois mioches te ressemblent. Tu peux partir ! La douleur est pour moi. J'ai les yeux bleus, ils ont tous les yeux sombres. Ils me caressent, puis se sauvent : c'est toi.
