Jacques Prévert's "IL"

IL

Il pleut Il pleut
Il fait beau
Il fait du soleil
Il est tôt
Il se fait tard
Il
Il
Il
toujours Il
Toujours Il qui pleut et qui neige
Toujours Il qui fait du soleil
Toujours Il
Pourquoi pas Elle
Jamais Elle
Pourtant Elle aussi
souvent se fait belle!


(My own shoddy translation)

HIM


It's raining It's raining
 It's beautiful out
It's sunny
It's early
It is getting late
Him
Him
Him
Always Him
It's always Him that rains and snows
Always Him that is sunny
Always Him
Why not Her
Never Her 
However, She also
Makes herself beautiful!
