Bien sûr. Avec le tas de fumier sous la fenêtre. Rien que pour moi.
So keep sparkling for ME in the midst of this dung heap of earth, I look from heaven and I see you sparkle and I am honoured.
Alors, continuez à scintiller pour MOI au beau milieu de cette terre qui n’est qu’un tas de déchets, JE regarde du ciel et JE vous vois scintiller, alors JE suis honoré.
