Effie
Language: French (Français)
Tu me disais que tu m'aimais d'amour sincère ; je te croyais heureuse er fière mais hélas, tu mentais. Pourquoi tromper un cœur fidèle qui ne saura jamais trahir ! Sans espoir, ma douleur t'appelle, mais ton oubli me fait mourir. Tu me jurais, et pour jamais ta foi chérie ; je te croyais, Dieu m'a punie, devant lui tu mentais. Pourquoi tromper un cœur fidèle etc.
