Les cloches
Language: French (Français)
Mon beau tzigane mon amant Écoute les cloches qui sonnent Nous nous aimions éperdûment Croyant n'être vus de personne Mais nous étions bien mal cachés Toutes les cloches à la ronde Nous ont vu du haut des clochers Et le disent i tout le monde Demain Cyprien et Henri, Marie, Ursule et Catherine La boulangère et son mari Et puis Gertrude ma cousine Souriront quand je passerai Je ne saurai plus où me mettre Tu seras loin je pleurerai J'en mourrai peut-être.
