Les yeux clos
Language: French (Français)
Quand tes yeux clos ne verront plus
Les lieux charmeurs où nous aimâmes,
J'aurai des sanglots plein mon âme,
Quand tes yeux clos ne verront plus.
Sous le poids lourd des destinées,
Courbant un front qui se souvient,
Ton souvenir restera mien,
Dans le tourbillon des années.
Quand tes yeux clos ne verront plus
Les fleurs qui s'ouvraient pour te plaire,
J'en couvrirai ta tombe chère,
Quand tes yeux clos ne verront plus !
