Nous n'avons pas les mêmes status.
Oare m-ai auzit ?
Nos mains ne se fixent pas, les cris s'espacent, le sang, le sel que tu perdras,
le physique tu oublieras !
La carriere drape(,) le visage torve, mince s'enfuit
et perce par delà la chose.
Oare m-ai auzit ?
Atunci, tu erai !!
Priveste-ma !
Rama s-a spart, este zgâriata.
Ghiarele ei au sfâsiat !
da ... !! da când ??!
uite cum este !!
Si ea, ceara a lovit !
Kadabi comes,
Bolum sola et fagus,
Dixi veritum disipette es quo zefales,
Limdua passe,
Santorum nomini,
Quabili tibi mundo elocres.
