Lasse de douleur
Language: French (Français) 
Choose for Diff
Lasse de douleur,
D'espoir obsédée,
D'une fraîche idée,
D'un amour en fleur,
On dirait qu'une âme,
M'embrassant toujours,
De ciel et de flamme
Me refait des jours !

Dans ton souvenir,
Toi qui me recèles,
As-tu pris des ailes
Devant l'avenir ?
Car je sens qu'une âme,
M'embrassant toujours,
De ciel et de flamme
Me refait des jours !

N'es-tu pas dans l'air,
Quand l'air me caresse ;
Ou quand il m'oppresse,
Sous l'ardent éclair ?
On dirait qu'une âme,
M'embrassant toujours,
De ciel et de flamme
Me refait des jours !
