Il est de ces Amours
Language: French (Français) 
	A l'eau de la rivière
		La fée
		Perdit
	Son maquillage blanc
		
	Nuage

	L'empreinte de sa main
		Glissa
		Lentement
	Et me caressa le coeur

Il est de ces amours dont on ne saura rien

		Onde ronde
	Et silencieuse vaguelette
	Elle referma les yeux
	Comme on écrit un livre

	Et les courbes passèrent
	Aux angles des rochers
		Poursuivant
	Leur quête d'harmonie
		Où
	Que s'évade l'eau

Il est de ces amours
		Dont on ne saura rien

	On les voit simplement
		Se noyer
	Ils sont purs
		Aussi purs
	Que l'absence de mot
		Sur une feuille blanche

A l'eau de la rivière
	La fée
		Perdit
			Son maquillage blanc
