Mais, qui a parcouru le Ciel et l'Enfer ?

2. L'amour qui ne ravage pas  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
L'amour qui ne ravage pas n'est pas l'amour. 
Un tison répand-il la chaleur d'un brasier ? 
Nuit et jour, durant toute sa vie, 
le véritable amant se consume de douleur et de joie.

3. Qu'il est vil, ce cœur  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Qu'il est vil, ce cœur qui ne sait pas aimer, 
qui ne peut s'enivrer d'amour! 
Si tu n'aimes pas, comment peux-tu apprécier 
l'aveuglante lumière du soleil et la douce clarté de la lune ?

4. Un peu de pain  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français)
