by Édouard Guinand (1838 - 1909)

Berceuse
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Viens près de moi,
Viens plus près encore ;
Mon amour t’appelle :
Enfant, je t’adore !

Au dehors souffle un vent glacé
Qui, de sa dernière parure,
Dépouille toute la nature,
Au seuil d’un hiver trop pressé.

Viens près de moi,…

Le monde lutte avec ardeur
Pour les hochets de sa folie,
Sous le poids des ans l’homme plie
Avant de songer au bonheur.

Viens près de moi,…
