Le Jardin des caresses

Song Cycle by Amable Massis (1893 - 1980)

1. Le Baume  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Elle m'a dit : « Je ne provoque
ta jalousie que pour savoir
mieux que tu m'aimes. »
Ainsi, quelquefois, afin de me faire
oublier ce que j'ai souffert durant ses
morsures, elle baise les croissants roses 
que ses dents ont gravés dans ma chair.
