Je Regrette Ma Mere.(Translation) . Poem by Michael Walker
Je Regrette Ma Mere.(Translation) .
Je veux l'amener a l'Inde
Et lui acheter
De l'or et des bijoux
Je veux l'entendre soupirer
Pour les pauvres dans la rue
Et s'emerveille
Au gris impitoyable
De la Mer d'Arabie
Elle avait raison de tout
Y compris ma guitare idiote
Et la ou elle me porta
Elle comprendrait
Les drapeaux de coton
Les tristesses du port
Les arches du passe
Elle me tapoterait la petite tete
Et elle benirait machanson risquee.

His mother was right about everything, especially his foolish guitar and the fame and fortune which it brought him. Fame might seem like the ultimate ambition, but it has a large downside also. Some cannot cope with it. Finally, he thinks she would give her blessing
to his risque (' dirty')song.
