Le Parapluie
Rain poured down hard on the highway
She struggled on, without brolly
I had got one, acquired secretly
From a close friend that same morning.
So, running to assist the lady
I offered this spot of cover.
Drying the wet from her tender face
She told me very softly « Oui »
A small bit of brolly
For a bit of heaven
She’d something angelic ‘bout her
A small bit of heaven
For a bit of my brolly
I came off well, gracious me.
Walking along, how sweet to hear
Just we two,the pretty song which
The waters from the sky produced
Upon the roof of my brolly.
I would have wished, like the Great Flood
To see the rain falling non stop
Just to keep her, ‘neath my refuge
For forty days and forty nights
A small bit of brolly
For a bit of heaven
She’d something angelic ‘bout her
A small bit of heaven
For a bit of my brolly
I came off well, gracious me.
But foolishly, e’en when storms rage
Roads lead to different districts
Hers soon loomed like a barrage
On the horizon of m’ folly
She left me, as it had to be,
After thanking me most warmly
And I saw her, chic and petite,(4)
Go gaily to forgetting me.
A small bit of brolly
For a bit of heaven
She’d something angelic ‘bout her
A small bit of heaven
For a bit of my brolly
I came off well, gracious me.
