Berceuse
 (Sung text for setting by E. Guiraud)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Petit pied, petit pied rose
De mon enfant endormi,
Toi qui ne tiens qu'à demi
Quand par terre je te pose,
Alors que tu marcheras
Petit pied, petit pied rose,
Alors que tu marcheras
Qui sait où tu passeras?

 ... 

Petit pied, petit pied rose,
Bientôt tu vas me quitter :
Pourquoi ne peux-tu rester,
Ignorant en toute chose ?
Et sans chagrin ni douleur,
Petit pied, petit pied rose,
Et sans chagrin ni douleur,
Dormir ainsi sur mon cœur?
