Le canari est sur le balcon [English translation]

Before opening the gas she thinks of her canary

Before leaving once and for all with life

She takes the cage and goes on the balcony

The cold wind of winter seized her, gives her chills

She opened the gas and lies down on his bed

On the pick-up she put her favorite disk

Already she has no longer all her reason

She see strange flowers, weird flowers and

butterflies

While slowly descends on London the night

On the table nearly of the sleepy girl

we can read scribbled with pencil

Just these few words: "The canary is on the balcony."
