Chanson de Sancho
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.
Un mot par-ci et un mot par-là
Un mot pour ceci et un mot pour cela
Pour lui confier ce qui m'est arrivé.
Comme il n'entend plus rien
Ça ne peut plus le troubler
En rentrant, ma femme m'a battu comme un chien
Mais je ne sentais pas les coups qu'elle me donnait
Elle frappait et elle frappait, elle criait et elle criait
Tu es parti trop longtemps, j'ai perdu la main
Un mot par-ci et un mot par-là
Un mot pour ceci et un mot pour cela
S'il n'entend plus rien, je crois que c'est aussi bien,
Il serait capable d'en rire!
Ou de m'accuser de mentir!
Ça me manque de ne plus combattre les moulins
Ça me manque de ne plus chasser les enchanteurs
Les plaisirs de tous les jours ne m'apportent que langueur!
J'étais l'ombre d'un Chevalier et je ne suis plus rien!
