Colin Maillard

Language: French (Français) 
C'est en vain que sous leur voile
Tes yeux cherchent la clarté,
De ta nuit aucune étoile
Ne fleurit l'obscurité.

Sois prudente, ma petite,
Tout espoir est dans ta main,
Tu te blesseras trop vite
Aux obstacles du chemin.

Pour te perdre tout conspire,
Tout n'est que propos menteur ;
Suis ton cœur lui seul peut dire
Le chemin de ton bonheur.
