by Ambroise Bétourné (1795 - 1838)

Il reviendra
Language: French (Français) 
Pour recueillir son héritage
Affrontant le courroux des mers
Il a dû quitter ce rivage
Que je baigne de pleurs amers.

  Mais à sa belle toujours fidèle,
  Dès que la brise soufflera
  Joyeux et libre il reviendra.

Je ne possède rien au monde,
Un bon cœur est mon seul trésor.
Lui, la fortune le seconde
Et maintenant il a de l’or.

Bannissons de vaines alarmes,
D’autres jamais n’auront sa foi.
Sans doute il en est dont les charmes
Voudraient l’arrêter loin de moi.
