by Edmond Haraucourt (1856 - 1941)

Mon amour était mort, ma peine était...
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Mon amour était mort, ma peine était finie,
Et j’errais sous les cieux pour le leur raconter :
     La nuit rêvait avec tant d’harmonie
        Que je me suis mis à chanter.

Chanter en t’oubliant ! Je chantais l’allégresse 
D’avoir conquis la paix qui doit toujours durer :
     Mais je chantais avec tant de tendresse,
        Que je me suis mis à pleurer.
