by Edmond Teulet (1862 - 1934)

Chanson désespérée
Language: French (Français) 
Si je pouvais chanter encore
Je te dirais:
Viens dans mes bras !
Viens écouter mon cœur sonore,
A sa chanson tu vibreras;
Mais j'ai tant chanté la méchante,
Pour lui plaire et pour l'exalter,
Que devant ta grâce naissante,
Je ne peux plus chanter...
Hélas! Hélas !

Si je pouvais aimer encore
C'est toi seule que l'aimerais ;
Car je crois voir lever l'aurore
Quand diaphane, tu parais,
Comme toi l'Autre était belle,
tout son être savait charmer.
J'ai peur de toi, je crus en elle...
Je ne sais plus aimer.
Hélas! Hélas !
Je ne peux plus chanter...
Je ne peux pas pleurer...
Je ne sais plus aimer.
