L'amour s'envole
Language: French (Français)
Chosen for Diff
L'amour est un enfant timide, La sévérité lui fait peur. C’est la liberté qui le guide Pour trouver le chemin d’un cœur. Tandis qu’il n’a rien à craindre, Les ris et les jeux suivent ses pas, Mais dès qu’on le veut contraindre Il s’envole et ne revient pas.
