by Alfred Busquet

Au pays d'où je viens
Language: French (Français) 
Chosen for Diff
Au pays d'où je viens
Je vous aimais, madame.
Vos yeux étaient les miens,
Et mienne était votre âme.

Au pays où je suis
Sans cesse à vous je pense,
Et je maudis l'absence,
Et je pleure les nuits.

Au pays où je vais
J'emporte ma tristesse ;
Chaque pas que je fais,
me tue, ô ma maîtresse !
