Si quelquefois tu pleures

Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Si quelquefois tu pleures, 
Cherche-moi près de toi, 
 J’y serai.

Mais aux divines heures 
De ta joie, est-ce moi 
 Qui viendrai ?

Oh ! Va, sois rassurée ! 
Quand la dernière larme 
 Aura lui,

Comme une ombre égarée 
Que le grand jour alarme, 
 J’aurai fui.
