Je me suis plaint aux tourterelles
Language: French (Français)
Je me suis plaint aux tourterelles Les tourterelles ont gémit. Et la caresse de leurs ailes m'a consolé comme un ami J'ai conté ma douleur au chêne Le chêne au coeur dur, fut touché. Les cyprès ont compris ma peine et vers moi leur front s'est penché Le zéphyr, effleurant mon âme, Bien tristement a murmuré : Mais qui m'a guéri... c'est la femme Quand je pleurait, elle a pleuré.
