For You My Love

by Jacques Prévert

Jacques Prévert / Pour toi mon amour (Rimbaud)
Jacques Prévert / Para ti mi amor (De otros mundos)

I went to the market, where they sell birds
and I bought some birds
for you
my love
I went to the market, where they sell flowers
and I bought some flowers
for you
my love
I went to the market, where they sell chains
and I bought some chains
heavy chains
for you
my love
And then I went to the slave market
and I looked for you
but I did not find you there 
my love
