of the people we hated

Of the people we hated,
We end up loving them,
I’m talking about movie actors
That I wouldn’t quote,
By Jacky Berroyer too,

I certainly don’t speak
Murderers, rapists,
I certainly don’t talk about it,
Thieves, dictators,
Bad guys, pedophiles,
No one likes them.

Of the people we loved,
We end up hating them,
I’m talking about some friends,
I’m talking about some actresses
Like Alice Taglioni,
May God forgive me!

PS  Alice Taglioni and Jacky Berroyer are minor French actors






Des gens qu’on a haïs,
On finit par les aimer,
Je parle des acteurs de cinéma
Que je ne citerais pas,
De Jacky Berroyer aussi,

Je ne parle pas certes
Des assassins, des violeurs,
Je n’en parle pas certes,
Des voleurs, des dictateurs,
Des malfrats, des pédophiles,
Nul ne les aime..

Des gens qu’on a aimés,
On finit par les haïr,
Je parle de certains amis,
Je parle de certaines actrices
Comme Alice Taglioni,
Que Dieu me pardonne !

Better not to talk of bad guys. Let us talk about good people. Avoid negative people and think over people who are nice.

Of people we hated, we end up loving and of the people we loved, we end up hating. Things and people don't often match our first impressions.

thanks for the comprehension, Jerry, there is lot of relativity here, but our judgments are friends however, and the first ones fit usually, i think, i could say the opposite of the poem too, this is so complex

You have a very distinctive style. It's so cool you have it in two languages
