Les Monténégrins

Opera by Armand-Marie Ghislain Limnander van Nieuwenhove, Baron (1814 - 1892)

?.   [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Belle épousée
J'aime tes pleurs !
C'est la rosée
Qui sied aux fleurs.

Les belles choses
N'ont qu'un printemps,
Semons de roses
Les pas du Temps !

Soit brune ou blonde
Faut-il choisir ?
Le Dieu du monde,
C'est le Plaisir.
