by Paul Bourget (1852 - 1935)

Rosa, la rose
Language: French (Français) 
Comme les roses du sentier,
La petite Rose est farouche.
Tout son charme est encore entier
Comme les roses du sentier,
Et son cœur est un églantier
Où se pique la main qui touche.
Comme les roses du sentier,
La petite Rose est farouche.

La petite Rosa n'a rien 
Que sa fraîcheur de fleur sauvage.
N'était son rire italien,
La petite Rosa n'a rien. 
Elle est servante et fait si bien
Qu'on reste avec elle en servage.
-- La petite Rosa n'a rien
Que sa fraîcheur de fleur sauvage.
