Love comes to all !

Une chanson

Language: French (Français) after the English

L'amour arrive à tout le monde!
Quand donc viendra-t-il vers moi ?
Amour, sois bon !
Fait qu'elle soit belle et fait qu'elle soit grande,
Fait qu'elle puisse rire joyeusement !
Amour, sois bon !

L'amour arrive à tout le monde !
Elle est donc belle pour moi,
Peu importe !
Fait qu'elle semble belle ; et la beauté arrivera !
Nous vivrons joyeusement !
L'amour est aveugle.

L'amour arrive à tout le monde !
Amour, quand tu viendras vers moi,
Ne sois pas aveugle !
Fait qu'elle soit belle et fait qu'elle soit grande
Fait qu'elle puisse rire joyeusement !
Amour, sois bon !
