Le Bonheur
Language: French (Français)
Au loin j'entends sous le feuillage De l'oiseau le chant amoureux Son ramage dit (je gage) « Chanter, c'est être heureux ? » J'ai vu des champs... La fleur nouvelle, Papillon, céder àtes vœux... Puis ton aile fuit loin d'elle « Changer, c'est être heurex. » Hanzel... que ce refrain attire Avec moi se mêle a leur jeux... Ton sourire semble dire, « Aimer... c'est être heureux. »
