Premium Member Conversation With My Daughter-In English and French

Why the translation? Because French is a pretty language.
mon petit chou is a term of endearment “my little cabbage.”

Leaning in—
Listening
To small things,
Big issues.
Work consumes
Your time.

Occasionally,
A buffet
From
My little cabbage.
Small talk,
Big conversation—
About Jesus.

**
Se penchant—
Écoute
Aux petites choses,
Gros problèmes.
Le travail consomme
Ton temps.

Parfois,
Un buffet
De
Mon petit chou.
Banalités,
Grande conversation—
A propos de Jésus.

L'Arc Au Ciel

Tu retrouve mon miel 
Brave abeille
Un beau réveil 
Même si fâcher
Tu n'a pas lâcher
Brave au bout
Mon p'tit chou
Prend tes forces
Ta ligne est proche
Rempli d'amour
Sera ton séjour


The Queen By Any Other Name

Queen Elizabeth was called Lillibet when growing up
And she called herself Tillabet because Elizabeth was too hard
And Prince Phillip calls her cabbage after the French non petit Chou
Prince William called her Gary when he was small as Granny was too hard
Then his son George calls her Gan Gan affectionately
So apart from the name “The Queen”
She has a number of names seldom seen.

Chou Chou

Chou chou ma chère~
 ne s'essoufle pas
 ~ ne se voue pas à la zizanie

 ~ ma coeur volete en vrac
 quand je suis avec toi chérie

 ~ tu est comme la mer
~ une mer délicieuse et tourbillonné

 ~ je suis ton youyou voué ~
je suis ton ésclave joyeux ~
submerge-moi dans ton état pluvieux et beau

 ~ Chou chou ma mer virée et mouillée~
je suis un zealot pour ton vacarne~
 avec toi le suis comme un va-nu-pieds hébeté
~ ma chère osé ~ s'asseye avec moi~~

En un clin d'oeil, je voudrais vivoter
 pour un milliard années à regarder
 fixement tes yeux si sensuels~~

 Chou chou ma chère
donne moi l'éscarmouche
 de ton amour éclatant.
