Déjeuner du Matin

An adaptation of the classic poem by Jacques Prévert.

Déjeuner du Matin
(Morning Lunch)

Il a mis le café
Dans la tasse
Il a mis le lait
Dans la tasse de café
Il a mis le sucre
Dans le café au lait
Avec la petite cuiller
Il a tourné
Il a bu le café au lait
Et il a reposé la tasse
Sans me parler

Il a allumé
Une cigarette
Il a fait des ronds
Avec la fumée
Il a mis les cendres
Dans le cendrier
Sans me parler
Sans me regarder

Il s'est levé
Il a mis
Son chapeau sur sa tête
Il a mis son manteau de pluie
Parce qu'il pleuvait
Et il est parti
Sous la pluie
Sans une parole
Sans me regarder

Et moi j'ai pris
Ma tête dans ma main
Et j'ai pleuré

(english)
He put the coffee
In the cup
He put the milk
In the cup of coffee
He put the sugar
In the café au lait
With the coffee spoon
He stirred
He drank the café au lait
And he set down the cup
Without a word to me
He lit
A cigarette
He made smoke-rings
With the smoke
He put the ashes
In the ashtray
Without a word to me
Without a look at me
He got up
He put
His hat upon his head
He put
his raincoat on
Because it was raining
And he left
In the rain
Without a word
And I, I took
My head in my hand
And I cried.

wow this is much better than mine...... who are those people?

[Hickamoodle]

The guy is the lead singer for the local punk rock band The Cops, and the lady is my dad's former receptionist. They're a couple. It's her voice, she majored in French literature. Unfortunately, this may be the only use for it!

i had to learn this poem in french class, and at first i thought it was the most depressing thing. everyone in my class we had to present with partners and my partner and i thought it would be cool if we made it funny, it turned out great, love it [=
