Negative Folk Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Si la rose à peine éclose
Est déjà morte
Si tu continues à faire semblant
Si un importun vient frapper
A ma porte
Si c'est important
Négative
Folk song
Si les jeux sont faits
Finissons-en et vite
Si c'est pas dans ton tempérament
Si les béotiens restent des néophytes
Si bêtes et méchants
Négative
Folk song
Dans l'estuaire
Je respire
Par la bouche
Et j'aspire à une vie
En tout point meilleure
Meilleure en tout point
Dans l'annuaire
Je m'inspire
Car ces vers
Sont les pires
Demain me fait peur en tout point
En tout point me fait peur
Négative
Folk song
Si tu pars une heure
Avant que je te quitte
Si tu passes en revue les passants
Si le moindre sous-entendu est tacite
Si c'est décevant
Négative
Folk song
Si la rose à peine éclose
Est déjà morte
Si tout ça doit finir dans le sang
S'il faut toujours employer
La manière forte
S'il le faut vraiment
Négative
Folk song
