by Émilien Pacini (1810 - 1898)

Adieux à la vie !
Language: French (Français) 
Salut! Dernière aurore
Qui vient pour moi d'éclore!
Lui que mon coeur adore
Il veut partir... je meurs.

Cruel! Vois mes douleurs!
Céde à mes pleurs!
Toi que j'implore,
Vois mon tourment mortel.
T'aimer, c'était la vie
Qui m'est par toi ravie.
Ton coeur ingrat m'oublie,
La mort est mon seul voeu.

Au jour je dis adieu,
Amis, ma mère, adieu!
Son coeur ingrat m'oublie;
La mort est mon seul voeu.

Amis, ma mère, adieu!
T'aimer, c'était la vie
Reprenez-la, mon Dieu!
Terre! adieu! Ma mère, adieu!!
