La neige de l'hiver passé
Language: French (Français)
La neige de l'hiver passé N'a pas séjourné sur la route, Le soleil l'a mise en déroute ... Pourquoi ton cœur est-il glacé ? Le rossignol, ce virtuose, Qui disparut l'autre saison, Chante aujourd'hui sur la maison ... Pourquoi ne dis-tu plus grand chose ? Avril revient gaiment vêtu, La terre est toute recouverte De boutons d'or et d'herbe verte ... Pourquoi pars-tu ?
