by Jules Lorin (c1825 - 1853)

Berthe, croyez‑moi, si Dieu vous donna
Language: French (Français) 
Berthe, croyez-moi, si Dieu vous donna 
La si douce voix que vous avez là, 
C'est pour murmurer un mot qui console, 
Une caressante et bonne parole 
A qui souffrira. 

Berthe, croyez-moi, si Dieu vous donna 
Le bon petit cœur que vous avez là, 
C'est pour le garder avec patience, 
Et puis, pour aimer avec confiance, 
Qui vous aimera!
