Infidélité
 (Sung text for setting by R. Hahn)

Language: French (Français)

Voici l'orme qui balance
Son ombre sur le sentier:
Voici le jeune églantier,
Le bois où dort le silence.
Le banc de pierre où le soir
Nous aimions à nous asseoir.

Voici la voûte embaumée
D'ébéniers et de lilas,
Où, lorsque nous étions las,
Ensemble, ma bien aimée!
Sous des guirlandes de fleurs,
Nous laissions fuir les chaleurs.

 ... 

 ... 
L'air est pur, le gazon doux ...
Rien n'a donc changé que vous.
