by Anatole de Ségur, Marquis (1823 - 1902)

De mon cœur une partie
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
De mon cœur une partie
Vient au loin de s'envoler,
Et depuis qu'elle est partie
Rien ne peut me consoler!
Ce qui mettait l'allégresse
Dans mon âme et dans mes yeux
M'a laissé dans la tristesse
En s'éloignant de ces lieux !

Tant que les âmes aimées
Ne viendront rouvrir mon cœur,
Les sources seront fermées
Où je puisais le bonheur !
Je refleurirrai quand l'heure
Du revoir aura sonné.
Jusques là j'attends et pleure
Sous mon toit abandonné !
De mon cœur une partie
Vient au loin de s'envoler,
Et depuis qu'elle est partie
Rien ne peut me consoler !
