En avril, sous les branches
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
En avril, sous les branches Au feuillage frileux, En cherchant des pervenches, J'ai trouvé tes yeux bleus : Et j'ai vu tes mains blanches Parmi les lys neigeux, En avril, sous les branches Au feuillage frileux. Et, comme un nid joyeux, Ton petit cœur aux cieux Contait ses gaîtés franches, En avril sous les branches Au feuillage frileux.
