"Good people, hear my lament,
the story of my life"
:33:07
"An orphan recounting
his boring troubles, gee up!"
:33:12
Prévert, the October Group...
:33:14
Go on, don't bother to pretend to read.
:33:18
"One day, a general, or maybe one night"
:33:21
"A general had two horses
killed beneath him"
:33:24
"These horses gee'd up
Life is bitter"
:33:26
"It was my poor father, my poor mother"
:33:29
"Who hid beneath the bed,
the general's bed"
:33:32
"Who hid behind the lines
in a small southern town"
:33:35
"The general talked alone at night,
generally talked of boring troubles"
:33:40
"That's how my father
and that's how my mother, gee up!"
:33:43
"One night, died of boredom"
:33:46
"For me, family life was done
Leaving the bedside table"
:33:49
"I galloped fast away to the big city,
shining, gleaming"
:33:54
"In an auto, I reach Sabi in Paros
Sorry, I'm talking horse"
:33:57
"One morning, I reach Paris in sabots"
:33:59
"I ask to see the lion, king of beasts
Receive a bump on my nose"
:34:03
"As war was on, going on
I get blinkered, I'm drafted"
:34:08
"As there was war, war going on
Life became dear, things were scarce"
:34:13
"The scarcer they were, more I was eyed
With strange eyes and chattering teeth"
:34:18
"They called me beefsteak
I thought it was English, gee up!"
:34:21
"All who were living and loving"
:34:23
"Were awaiting my death,
so they could eat me"
:34:27
"One night in the stables,
a night I was sleeping"
:34:30
"I heard a weird sound,
a voice that I knew,"
:34:32
"The old general had returned
like a ghost with an old friend"
:34:37
"Thinking I was sleeping,
they spoke very softly:"
:34:40
"Enough of watery rice
we need to chew on red meat"
:34:43
"Just add to his oats
some needles for a treat"
:34:45
"My heart missed a beat
like a circus pony"
:34:48
"Dashing out of the stable
I hid in the spinney"
:34:52
"Now the war is over
The old general is dead"
:34:56
"Dead in his bed
Dead of a fine death"
:34:59
"But I am alive
and that's the main thing"
