when the soup is not good

When the soup is not good,
That the mushrooms are poisonous,
That my head will explode,
That a journalist lies to me,
I think of Jennifer Lawrence,

She alone understands me,
His beauty triumphs over the male,
Over Lies, hypocrisy,

When my rondeau disappoints,
That the journalist lies to me,
That the soup is not good
That my head will explode,
I think of Jennifer Lauwrence.


Quand la soupe n’est pas bonne,
Que les champignons sont vénéneux,
Que ma tête va exploser,
Qu’un journaliste me ment,
Je pense à Jennifer Lawrence,

Elle seule me comprend,
Sa beauté triomphe du mâle,
Du mensonge, de l’hypocrisie,

Quand mon rondeau déçoit,
Que le journaliste me ment,
Que la soupe n’est pas bonne
Que ma tête va exploser,
Je pense à Jennifer Lawrence.

Soup when made of poisonous mushrooms can be so toxic. It will not only make our head explode, but may even take away our dear life. Nicely written.
