Les oiseaux du malheur [English translation]

And we will reman some "abstracts"

Preferably, like night birds

Like birds of misfortune

They have beaks and they have sharp eyes

Like women

The birds of misfortune

They have the grace and fly charmingly

Like women

The birds of misfortune

They have legs and walk in the wind

Like women

The birds of misfortune

They have nests with all of our children

Like women

The birds of misfortune

We sleep with that

And that's why we die

Trying to teach them

Doubt and misery

Come with your beak

With your eyes, come on

With your grace and your legs, come

With your nest and my child

My pretty bird of misfortune

They have beaks and sharp eyes.
