The Lebanese taxi driver

He takes the money while he's driving,
He drives the car smiling,
He often nags at other cars,
He always stops abruptly,
He transports bigger ones and smaller ones
Shouting, he passes the red traffic light
He is waiting for clients for hours,
He�s a nice and funny man.



Translated by Katia Van de Putte

Le chauffeur de taxi libanais

Il prend l'argent en conduisant
Il conduit la voiture en souriant
Il crie aprés les voitures souvent
Il arréte toujours brusquement
Il transporte les petits et les grands
Il traverse le feu rouge en criant
Il attend des heures un client
C'est un homme gentil et amusant
