Prologue
Johnny Hallyday · Hamlet [1976]
J'ai aimé l'histoire d'Hamlet, je ne sais pas exactement pourquoi.
Il y a certainement des raisons, des raisons profondes
Mais c'est sans importance.
Je vais essayer de vous raconter cette histoire
Comme je l'ai ressentie, moi
Et vous la ressentirez comme vous voulez, vous.
