Je ne sais comment je dure
Language: French (Français)
Je ne sais comment je dure ; Car mon dolent cœur fond d’ire, Et plaindre n’ose, ni dire Ma douloureuse aventure, Ma dolente vie obscure, Rien, hors la mort, ne désire ; Je ne sais comment je dure. Et me faut par couverture Chanter quand mon cœur soupire, Et faire semblant de rire ; Mais Dieu sait ce que j’endure ; Je ne sais comment je dure.
