by Mikhail Yur'yevich Lermontov (1814 - 1841)

Quand je te vois sourire
Language: French (Français) 
Quand je te vois sourire,
Mon cœur s'epanouit,
Et je voudrais te dire
Ce que mon cœur me dit ! 

Alors toute ma vie
A mes yeux apparait;
Je maudis, et je prie,
Et je pleure en secret. 

Car sans toi, mon seul guide,
Sans ton regard de feu
Mon passe parait vide,
Comme le ciel sans dieu. 

Et puis, caprice etrange,
Je me surprends benir
Le beau jour, oh mon ange,
Ou tu m'as fait souffrir !...
