by (Paul) Jules Barbier (1825 - 1901)

Soyez bénie!
Language: French (Français) 
Je vous avais donné ma vie,
Je vous avais donné mon cœur,
Mon amour heureux et vainqueur
Aux anges même eut fait envie.
O Dieu ! que ces beaux jours sont vite révolus !
Je vous adore, ingrate, et vous ne m'aimez plus !

J'ai connu des douleurs mortelles,
J'ai ressenti d'âpres tourments ;
Hélas ! les larmes des amants
Sont de toutes les plus cruelles.
O Dieu ! etc.

J'aimais d'une amour infinie,
Vous n'aimiez que d'un cœur léger ;
Plaise au ciel ne pas me venger,
Et si j'en meurs, soyez bénie !
O Dieu ! etc.
