Walcourt
Language: French (Français)
Briques et tuiles, Ô les charmants Petits asiles Pour les amants ! Houblons et vignes, Feuilles et fleurs, Tentes insignes Des francs buveurs ! Guinguettes claires, Bières, clameurs, Servantes chères À tous fumeurs ! Gares prochaines, Gais chemins grands... Quelles aubaines, Bons juifs errants !
