Marie-Flore – Quelques centimes

I threw a few cents in your city, in every fountain
Made a wish in every street, where I could have sworn I had seen you
But this sidewalk is narrow,
Close to the sea, near the moorings
And I admit that I recognized you, that I acted as if I hadn’t seen you

But since then – since then, I’ve dropped my crutch
You see, I’ve mastered figures of speech
And I did the best I could, ..
