Les orties
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.
Je grimpais aux murailles
J' me roulais dans la paille
J' me cachais dans les coins
J'allais toujours plus loin, à dix ans
J' maquillais en hier
Mes yeux couleur de terre
En portant sur des talons
Mes soixante-quatre saisons
A seize ans, à seize ans
J'avais l'âge de raison
Sans une ride d'expression
J'avais tout d'une vieille âme
Mais j' n'étais pas une femme à vingt ans
J'ai mis plus de trente ans
A redevenir l'enfant
Qui caressait les orties
Pour épater la galerie
En riant
