La petite lampe
Language: French (Français)
Petite lampe nuptiale, Pour une autre tu vas briller, Et c'est moi, douleur sans égale, Qui de ma main vais t'allumer. Petite lampe nuptiale, Mais mon cœur restera muet ; Jusqu'au bout je saurai sourire, Et je mourrai sans oser dire Le doux secret qui me charmait. Petite lampe nuptiale Qui me ravis ce que j'aimais, Tu vas éclairer ma rivale, Pour moi tu ne luiras jamais.
