by Charles Clairville (1855 - 1927)

Par les prés
Language: French (Français) 
Avez-vous vu, par les prés
De mille fleurs diaprés,
En sa démarche légère
Passer ma bergère ?

Sur ses pas l'amour naît,
Et mon cœur est fidèle,
Alors qu'on la connait,
On ne peut aimer qu'elle.

Hélas, quel est mon tourment,
Elle trahit son serment
Et repousse ma tendresse,
L'ingrate maitresse !

Mais malgré ses mépris
Je lui reste fidèle,
Mon cœur toujours épris
Ne cherche et n'aime qu'elle.
