1 A poet does not live very long
He enjoys life to the fullest
Burns all the cartridges at the same time
Mocking the false asses, pretenses
A poet does not live very long
A poet does not live very long
If you thought he was getting old
His ghost, his specter, certainly
Or his last student joke
A poet does not live very long
2 A poet He dies from time to time
There's no crowd at the funeral
Just a few friends, a few relatives
We didn't alert the Presidents
A poet dies from time to time
A poet dies from time to time
We do not find a will
Even fewer heirs, practically ©tendants
Alone is there, the companion of days without
A poet dies from time to time
3 A poet, that's for sure, it's annoying
And that's never very, very right thinking
At the slightest injustice, it goes screaming
Against idiots, vice and the powerful
br/>A poet, that's for sure, it's annoying
A poet, that's sure, it's annoying
It neither fears nor 'exile, nor torments
Written when destitution is great
With the last drop of his blood
A poet, that's for sure r, it's annoying
4 A poet lives a very, very long time
If I said the opposite apparently
It's just the words , words change a lot
Whether they are said in the past or the present
A poet lives a very, very long time
A poet lives a very, very long time
We don't count the number of his children
They are born every winter, every spring
Who the glory of the prophet goes singing
A poet lives a very, very long time (bis)
