Film? - powiedział, mrużąc oczy od słońca. Był całkowicie przekonany, że to życie

Onkolożka orzekła, że tata nie będzie mógł nigdy pić. I oto jesteśmy w najbardziej hipsterskiej kawiarni w mieście

Le monde est sur le point de disparaître et je mange des olives

Pourquoi quitter cette vie merveilleuse?

Immagino la mia morte senza più respiro

O soție tare ca piatra
