jean leloup, “petite papillon,”
from: A paradis city, 2015
This Quebecois troubadour draws from American rock and French chanson to chronicle modern life in Quebec. His award winning 2015 album A Paradis City dignifies the downtrodden in lyrical and inventive verse. “Petite Papillon” reveals his tender side, a dry compassion that comes from those who have survived their own “cauchemar.” (nightmare)

Editor’s Note: Bill mentioned that the English translation butchers the song intent in French. Your can get a “reading” of the song in English by looking it up online.
