Lise Altmann

Mom, today, if I write
It's to tell you my concern
Something I don't understand
Happened at boarding school

Two gentlemen in long coats
Driving a Traction
Came to take away
Our French teacher

Lise Altmann
Lise Altmann
Lise Altmann was arrested

And during the English lesson,
A student asked

Our crying teacher
Why they took her away from us

Maybe because of her name
Or a denunciation
I don't understand why
We can't call each other that

You see, my dear,
It's the same here
Don't tell your friends
But on Thursday at noon
They took your father away too
