If You Can't Hear

If You Can't Hear

A Poem by Goldilocqs

If you can't hear you will feel,
That's what my mother used to tell me
back in the day, when I was young & had no sense.

Pas suffisant savoir comment on lit entre les lignes les actions d'autres,
Trop d'amour pour que je donne mon confiance trop facilement,
c'est triste... La pauvre !

If you can't hear you will feel,
that's what my grandmother used to say back in the day,
when I grew older & sense came knocking on my door.

Suffisant savoir-faire dans ma vie
mais pas suffisant distinguer entre les faux amis.
Ma vie est trop dure, trop compliquée... Je crie !
La vie n'est jamais juste anisi - tant pis !

If you can't hear you will feel,
that's what my life experiences tell me now today,
with time my youth will fade, but my sense is here to stay.

Very nice stuff. I love the alternation between the English and the French. Nice rythm.
