Chanson
Language: French (Français)
Les myrtilles sont pour la dame Qui n'est pas là; La marjolaine est pour mon âme Tra-la-la! Le chèvre-feuille est pour la belle Irrésolue. Quand cueillerons-nous les airelles Lanturlu. Mais laissons pousser sur la tombe, O folle! O fou! Le romarin en touffes sombres Laïtou.
