L’air de rosaire

Mon dieu mon dieu vous qui voyez
Toute mes douleurs et mes peines
Venez, venez donc m’arrachez
A toute ces terrible scenes

Pitie pour les petit enfant
Supportant la haine des parents
Qui pleure et qui se lamentent
Dans cette horrible tormente

Mon pauvre corps est epuise
Et mes members sont tout brises
Meme que m’importe la mort
Je veux, je veux oui un meilleur sort
