Je suis las, si las
Language: French (Français)
— Je suis las, si las, Comment danser, hélas ! — Mets des fleurs dans tes cheveux Et dansons, car je le veux. — Je suis si triste, triste, Comment rire hélas ! — Qu’un marmouset pleure. Rions, car c’est l’heure. Dormir est si doux Que ne mourrons-nous ! — Ah, la Mort, ah, n’est-ce Une menteresse !
