Sous tes longs cheveux d'or
 (Sung text for setting by M. Delmas)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Sous tes longs cheveux d'or, quand tu cours sur la grève
Au vent,
Si quelque prompt ramier touche ton front qui rêve,
Souvent !
De cette aile d'oiseau, ne prends pas, ô ma fille,
D'effroi !
Pour baiser son enfant, c'est une âme qui brille,
C'est moi !

Parmi d'autres enfants qui te font tout heureuse,
Le soir,
Quand tu vas au jardin, lasse d'être rieuse,
T'asseoir.
Si tu t'inquiétais comment je passe l'heure
Sans toi,
Penche un peu ton oreille à cet oiseau qui pleure,
C'est moi !
