Who can do it ?

Who can reassure me? That is the question, Maybe the weasel, Maybe the cherry tree? Such is the question, Who can reassure me? Maybe Josephine? Maybe Marion? Or July, Who can reassure me? Maybe the poet friends, Who knows anything about it? The rhyme ignores the rose, That is the question, Who can reassure me? Maybe the weasel Or the snow of Antan, Maybe the cherry tree? Who can reassure me? A dinner at the restaurant, A child’s smile, That is the question, So much for following these people It’s losing your mind, So much for following these people, It’s losing friends, Let’s follow the steps of the poet No one replaces this guy. Qui peut me rassurer ? Telle est la question, Peut-être la belette, Peut-être le cerisier. Telle est cette question, Qui peut me rassurer, Peut-être Joséphine ? Peut-être Marion ? Qui peut me rassurer ? Peut-être les amis poètes, Qui connait toute chose ? La rime ignore la rose, Telle est la question, Qui peut me rassurer ? Peut-être la belette Ou la neige d’Antan, Peut-être le cerisier ? Qui peut me rassurer ? Un diner au restaurant, Un sourire d’enfant, Telle est la question, Autant, suivre ces gens C’est perdre la raison, Autant, suivre ces gens, C’est perdre des amis, Suivons les pas du poète Personne ne le remplace.
