Along the highway,
I hold you by the cuff.
Do not hate me ; –
Old intercourse should not be suddenly broken off.
Along the highway,
I hold you by the hand.
Do not think me vile ; –
Old friendship should not hastily be broken off.
Legge 81
Le long de la grande route
je te prends par la manche !
Ne me maltraite pas,
ne romps pas d'un coup avec notre passé !
Le long de la grande route
je te prends par la main !
Ne me maltraite pas,
ne brise pas d'un coup notre amitié !
