How can I laugh or cry  When my mind is sorely torn?  Badabec had to die  Fair Pantagruel is born  Shall I weep, yes, for why?  Then laugh and show my scorn    Born with a strength untold  Foreseen to have great age  Set in Gargantuan mould,  Joyful laugh, yet quick to rage  Princely wisdom, habits bold;  Power, glory, lauded sage    Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning  In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him  Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning  In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him.    Pantagruel born -- the earth was dry and burning  In Paradise dear Badabec prays for him    How can I laugh or cry  When my mind is sorely torn?  Badabec had to die;  Fair Pantagruel is born  Shall I weep, yes, for why?  Then laugh and show my scorn
