by Marceline Desbordes-Valmore (1786 - 1859)

Fierté, pardonne‑moi !
Language: French (Français) 
Fierté, pardonne-moi !
Fierté, je t'ai trahie ! ...
Une fois dans ma vie,
Fierté, j'ai mieux aimé mon pauvre coeur que toi :
Tue, ou pardonne-moi !

Sans souci, sans effroi,
Comme on est dans l'enfance,
J'étais là sans défense ;
Rien ne gardait mon coeur, rien ne veillait sur moi :
Où donc étais-tu, toi ?

Fierté, pardonne-moi !
Fierté, je t'ai trahie ! ...
Une fois dans ma vie,
Fierté, j'ai mieux aimé mon pauvre coeur que toi :
Tue, ou pardonne-moi !
