thank you Descartes

I think so I am, Thank you Descartes, She dances samba, so I’m, She likes strawberries and roasted chestnuts, So I am, She has butterflies in her eyes So I am, Thank you Descartes, It is not enough to think To be happy, She shows me her breasts in the mirror, So I am, She dresses for the carnival, So I am, Thank you Descartes, It is not enough to think It is enough to be loved To think. Je pense donc je suis, Merci Descartes, Je danse la samba, donc je suis, Elle aime les fraises et les marrons chauds, Donc je suis, Elle a des papillons dans les yeux Donc je suis, Merci Descartes, Il ne suffit pas de penser Pour être heureux, Elle me montre ses seins dans le miroir, Donc je suis, Elle s’habille pour le carnaval, Donc je suis, Merci Descartes, Il ne suffit pas de penser Il suffit d’être aimé Pour penser.

Rene Descartes was a great philosopher who said-"I think therefore I am." Indeed an infallible truth. You have connected your life with that great philosophy. Nicely done dear friend.
