thank you Descartes

I think so I am,
Thank you Descartes,
She dances samba, so I’m,
She likes strawberries and roasted chestnuts,
So I am,
She has butterflies in her eyes
So I am,
Thank you Descartes,
It is not enough to think
To be happy,
She shows me her breasts in the mirror,
So I am,
She dresses for the carnival,
So I am,
Thank you Descartes,
It is not enough to think
It is enough to be loved
To think.


Je pense donc je suis,
Merci Descartes,
Je danse la samba, donc je suis,
Elle aime les fraises et les  marrons chauds,
Donc je suis,
Elle a des papillons dans les yeux
Donc je suis,
Merci Descartes,
Il ne suffit pas de penser  
Pour être heureux,
Elle me montre ses seins dans le miroir,
Donc je suis,
Elle s’habille pour le carnaval,
Donc je suis,
Merci Descartes, 
Il ne suffit pas de penser
Il suffit d’être aimé 
Pour penser.

Rene Descartes was a great philosopher who said-"I think therefore I am." Indeed an infallible truth. You have connected your life with that great philosophy. Nicely done dear friend.
