Pantagruel’s Nativity — Gentle Giant

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.
