Bois épais
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Bois épais, redouble ton ombre; Tu ne saurais être assez sombre, Tu ne peux pas trop cacher Mon malheureux amour. Je sens un désespoir Dont l'horreur est extrême, Je ne dois pas plus voir ce que j'aime, Je ne veux plus souffrir le jour.
