2. Le sommeil des lévriers [sung text not yet checked]
Language: French (Français)

3. Résignation [sung text not yet checked]
Language: French (Français)

Tu la berçais comme tu aurais bercé l'enfant qui serait né de notre amour, si nous avions pu nous aimer. Et je te regardais bercer l'ombre de de cette fleur immense.
