Why couldn't English be easy?
Even the great poet Edwards complained about it
Why couldn't English be easy?
[He] could be she
...

Gangsters use it to commit murder and regret after
Never can you control your sense when you hold a bottle
Arouses in you, a spirit of a dramatic battle
Sober up to become a patriotic fighter
...

And I wonder why
I still wonder why so many Richard Corys?
Pure and happy soul they may say;
Wealthy and privileged they sing
...

I praise your bitterness

Father of suicide
I celebrate your cruelty
...

Peace, who are you, where are you?
My grandpa fought in World War I and II
In search of Peace
The war was over
...

You were deathly ill and grew bonier and bonier
Almost deaf and dumb, and could only mime
and I thought it was a dream
...

I woke up this morning with rays of sunlight through my window
As I was going to work,
There was no tall building to block the sunshine
The wonderful rays penetrated my skin
...

They were all looking forward to my birth on Monday
But my time hadn't come yet
So on, my mother suffered
Through pain, and uneasiness
...

Je veux être le cheval qui laisse des traces remarquables au passage
L'heureuse peste au cœur de l'humanité sans ravage
Le soleil ravissant sur le toit du gentil et du méchant
La merveilleuse lune qui éclaire les horizons au couchant
...

Here sex is free and a mess
Here promiscuity is in process
Here infidelity is in progress
One in, a thousand outside, it is madness
...

Alone,
I was born, no one criticized me
The sweetest morning I've had with my mother
The sun was heading towards the zenith
...

Afflicted and overwhelmed by the crisis of life, you decide to fly
Many will die on the way, but your burning desire tells you to try
Engulfed by the sea, you struggle to survive
Driven from the killing sea, you stay alive
...

I suffered all my life
There was no bread to eat
No shelter to live
I was unknown
...

Generous hearts are aware of human frailty
Oceans of love flow to make them pretty
Ephemeral is the voyage by the sea
Human will one day lie down in the tomb to see
...

Your love flows through my soul
Towards eternity
Like the Pacific ocean
From North to South
...

You took both your phone and my heart
I was too scared to say it
Because of what you would say
But now I know that it is true
...

Dear Grandma,
Thy death I cry

The sunrise is over
...

Il souffla
Il souffle
Il souflera peut-être encore
Le vent de l'est
...

People choose to fight for themselves
And give up life for death
Restless life they live, until they find themselves beneath the earth
Killing innocents, under the moon and under the sun
...

And a day in summer, Colin and I decided to go for a hike
He drove me through the lovely wooded roads until we reached the park
We went down the hills and back to wee
We looked at the map and found the way to the trail
