Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Jeune fille, à quinze ans, chante comme l'alouette; Jeune fille, à quinze ans, croit toujours au doux printems; Car alors la pauvrette ne rêve que jours de fête, Car alors la pauvrette croit avoir toujours quinze ans. La voyez-vous bondir dans le jardin de son père! Les baisers d'une mère, voilà tout son avenir.
