L'abandonée
Language: French (Français)
Beaux jours que le coeur envie, vous ne pouvez revenir!
Printemps heureux de la vie, vous n'êtes qu'un souvenir!
Mes yeux sont mouillés de larmes, et ma voix soupire en vain.
Il a fui; tout est sans charmes pour mon coeur sans lendemain.
Mon Dieu, prends-moi sous ton aile; ici je n'ai plus d'espoir.
Au ciel son âme étincelle et là j'irai le revoir.

The abandoned one
Language: English after the French (Français)
Lovely days that the heart longs for, you cannot come back!
Happy springtime of life, you are only a memory!
My eyes are moistened with tears, and my voice sighs in vain.
He has gone; everything is without allure for my heart with no tomorrow.
My God, take me under your wing; here I have no more hope.
In heaven his soul sparkles and I would go there to see him again.
