Astrid Akgnes

Elle a 24 ans,
        noire, deja veuve avec trois enfants.
        II faut qu'elle travaille pour gagner sa vie.
        Quand elle revient chez elle chaque matin,
        elle jure qu'elle ne le fera plus.
        Les petits pleurent, ils ont faim.
        Alors, elle n'a pas un choix.
        Le lendemain elle a de nouveau °
        quelques sous dans la main.
        Ils brulent, comme le fait son coeur.
Il a 35 ans,
        sa famille est a Paris,
        et Paris est loin ...
        II la voit, et il pense qu'elle est belle.
        Dans sa poche il y a encore quelques sous
        qu'il faut depenser
        avant qu'il ne rentre chez lui.
        A Paris, une femme l'attend ...



She is 24 years old,
        black, already a widow with three children.
        She has to work for a living.
        When she comes home every morning
        she swears that she will never do it again.
        The little ones cry, they are hungry.
        So, she has no choice.
        The next morning
        she has some money in her hand again.
        It burns, like her heart.
He is 35 years old,
        his family is in Paris,
        and Paris is far away ...
        He sees her, and he thinks that she is beautiful.
        He still has some money in his pocket
        that he must spend before he goes home.
        In Paris, a woman is waiting for him ...
