possibly by Benjamin Louis Paul Godard (1849 - 1895)

La plus belle
Language: French (Français) 
Depuis que j'ai vu la plus belle,
La plus belle de ces vallons,
Les champs, la forêt, et les monts,
Tout me semble désert sans elle.

Depuis le jour où la plus belle
M'a donné son baiser premier
Au richesses du monde entier
Je préfère un seul baiser d'elle.

Depuis que j'ai, de la plus belle,
Pressé le coeur contre mon coeur,
Il n'est pour moi d'autre bonheur
Que de vivre toujours près d'elle.
