by (Paul) Jules Barbier (1825 - 1901)

Malgré moi
Language: French (Français) 
Je ne veux plus penser à toi
dont j'ai si triste récompense
et malgré moi toujours j'y pense.
Je ne veux plus chanter pour toi
qui ris de mes chansons, méchant, 
et malgré moi toujours je chante.

Je ne veux plus pleurer pour toi, 
les pleurs sans espoir sont un leurre, 
et malgré moi toujours je pleure.
Je ne veux plus faire de toi
mon bien, ma vie, et mon ciel même...
et malgré moi toujours je t'aime.
