by Elena Vacarescu (1864 - 1947)

Si tu le voulais
Language: French (Français) 
Si tu le voulais ange aux yeux d'étoiles
Je me reprendrais à vivre pour toi
Mon cœur oublierait tout ce qui le voile
Et j'aurais l'amour et j'aurais la foi.

Si tu le voulais mon âme à la tienne
Porterait sa fleur éclose pour toi
Mon âme n'a rien qui ne t'appartienne
Tu pourrais cueillir son rêve et sa foi.

Si tu le voulais je viendrais sourire
À tous les moments tristes ou joyeux
Je sais des chansons si douces à dire
Pour bercer l'esprit et fermer les yeux.
