Les larmes
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: CAT
Si vous donnez le calme après tant de secousses, Si vous courez d'oubli tant de maux dérobés, Si vous lavez ma plaie et si vous êtes douces, O mes larmes, tombez! tombez! Mais, si comme autrefois vous êtes meurtrières, Si vous rongez un coeur qui déjà brûle en soi, N'ajoutez pas au mal, respectez mes paupières: O larmes, laissez moi, laissez moi! Oui, laissez moi! je sens ma peine plus cuisante, Vous avez evoqué tous mes rêves perdus: Pitié! pitié! pitié! laisez mourir mon âme agonisante! Larmes, ne tombez pas! ne tombez pas!
