Ceux qui, parmi les morts d'amour
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): ENG
Ceux qui, parmi les morts d'amour, Ont péri par le suicide Sont enterrés au carrefour Là s'épanouit et réside Une fleur bleue étrange fleur Aussi rare que sa couleur Aucun nom ne l'a désignée C'est la fleur de l'âme damnée! Pendant la nuit au carrefour Je soupire dans le silence Au clair de lune se balance La fleur des damnés de l'amour!
