Bel enfant, souris‑moi
 (Sung text for setting by E. Tinel)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Bel enfant, souris-moi,
Je n'aime pas les larmes ;
Pour m'appeler à toi
N’as-tu pas d'autres charmes ?

Montre-moi ton front pur,
Ton œil doux et limpide,
Voilé d'or et d'azur ;
Il fait mal l'œil humide.

Je n'aime pas les pleurs,
Ils rendent le visage
Triste comme les fleurs
Après un jour d'orage.

Ils font mourir les ris,
Ils abrègent la vie.
Dans ton printemps souris,
Car plus tard on l'oublie.
