Jacques Prévert: PATER NOSTER Our Father who art in heaven Stay there And we'll
stay here on earth Which is sometimes so pretty With its mysteries of New York
And its mysteries of Paris At least as good as that of the Trinity With its
little canal at Ouircq Its great wall of China Its river of Morlaix Its candy
canes With its Pacific Ocean And its two basins in the Tuileries With its good
children and bad people With all the wonders of the world Which are here Simply
on the earth Offered to everyone Strewn about Wondering at the wonders of
themselves And daring not avow it As a naked pretty girl dares not show herself
With the world's outrageous misfortunes Which are legion With legionaries With
torturers With the masters of this world The masters with their priests their
traitors and their troops With the seasons With the years With the pretty girls
and with the old bastards With the straw of misery rotting in the steel of
cannons.
