1r Avril Au bord de l'Aisne
Comment fais tu donc pour en prendre?
Pardi! J'amorce avec du 'pain blanc'
Encore kamarade

April 1 on the bank of the Aisne
So how do you take them?
Of course! I begin with 'white bread'

1r Avril
1
- Je suis le poisson d'Avril
- Je ne tiens qu'a un fil
- Moins dangereux que je n'en ai l'air
- Je ne suis en sureté que sur terre
2
Le moindre petit coup de vent
Me retourne complétement
Vous avouerez, pour un dirigeable
Que c'est plutôt lamentable.
1
- I am the April Fool
- I am hanging on by a thread
- I'm less dangerous than I am in the air
- I'm not reliable other than on Earth
2
The slightest gust of wind
Turns me completely
You must admit, for an airship
That it is rather dismal
