Entre l'espoir et la crainte
Language: French (Français)  after the Italian (Italiano)
« Crainte, que va-t-il arriver ?
Nous réjouirons-nous, oui ou non ? »
« Donne-moi la liberté,
espoir, et je te dirai :
ils ne s'accorderont jamais
l'espoir et la crainte,
car l'un songe aux ennuis,
et l'autre est aveuglé par l'amour. »
« Crainte, dis-moi, alors dis-moi ! »
« Espoir, je te le dirai,
mais si je dis non,
tu diras oui. »
