Si j'avais le Bateau (If I had the Boat)

DESCRIPTION: French. If I had the boat which my father had given me I could cross the water and the sea without boat. If I had children who would not call me mom I would often ask God that they would die suddenly. To the proprietor's honor, let's pop the cork.
