L'amitié
 (Sung text for setting by R. Hahn)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Tu peux m'oublier dans la joie
Et m'oublier souvent
Sans que jamais je te revoie
Moins adoré qu'avant:
Sans que jamais mon coeur t'accuse
De n'être point aimant,
Car le bonheur est une excuse
Qu'on a si rarement.

Mais si le vent tourne et si l'ombre
Couvre les cieux moins purs,
Quand à l'entour décroît le nombre
De ceux qu'on croyait sûrs,
Songe alors au coeur fidèle,
Ami des mauvais jours,
Viens chercher mon âme dont l'aile
Pour toi s'ouvre toujours.
