Jean Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Posted March 26, 2017 Brassens, one of our late singers, has written in his song "les copains d'abord" (Pals first) Au rendez-vous des bons copains Y avait pas souvent de lapins Quand l'un d'entre eux manquait a bord C'est qu'il était mort Oui, mais jamais, au grand jamais Son trou dans l'eau n'se refermait Cent ans après, coquin de sort Il manquait encore Roughly translate At Pals' meetings Seldom missings When one was not there It is be cause he was dead But never, Oh Lord, never His hole in the water shut 100 years later, he was still missed 2 Quote
