Première fleur
Language: French (Français) 
Première fleur, 
blanche aubépine, 
que ton retour
plait a mon cœur un seul jour 
je crus au bonheur ;
ce jour tu parais la colline.

première fleur,
premiers amours
devraient hélas ! durer toujours ! 

Première fleur,
frèle et légère, 
emblême d'un cœur 
de quinze ans ;
que seuls les zéphyrs caressants 
effeuillent ta vie éphémère

première fleur,
premiers amours
souvent sont flétris un jour ! 

Mais si par l'orage fannée, 
tu périssais, 
première fleur ;
il n'est pas pour toi
de douleur, 
tu renaitrais dans une année

mais hélas ! 
le premier amour, 
quand il s'en fuit, c'est sans retour.
