La colombe poignardée
 (Sung text for setting by L. Beydts)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Si Dieu n'avait pas fait le soleil et les mondes,
Il n'y aurait pas eu les douleurs, ni ma blonde.
Pas de coups, de sang rouge et ni ma bien-aimée . . .
Il n'y aurait sur terre colombe poignardée.

Si Dieu n'avait pas fait la lune et les orages,
Il n'y aurait pas eu de pleurs aux doux visages,
Ni de couteau farouche et ni ma bien-aimée . . .
Il n'y aurait sur terre colombe poignardée. . .

Si Dieu n'avait pas fait les jours après le jour,
Il n'y aurait pas eu d'amour, ni mon amour !
Il n'y aurait sur terre colombe poignardée.
Et ni, Seigneur ! ma bien-aimée.
