by Maurice Bouchor (1855 - 1929)

Printemps triste
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  CAT CHI ENG
Nos sentiers aimés s'en vont refleurir
Et mon cœur brisé ne peut pas renaître.
Aussi chaque soir me voit accourir 
Et longuement pleurer sous ta fenêtre.

Ta fenêtre vide où ne brille plus
Ta tête charmante ett ton doux sourire ;
Et comme je pense à nos jours perdus,
Je me lamente, et je ne sais que dire.

Et toujours les fleurs, et toujours le ciel,
Et l'âme des bois dans leur ombre épaisse
Murmurant en choeur un chant éternel 
Qui se répond dans l'air chargé d'ivresse !

Et la mer qui roule au soleil levant,
Emportant bien loin toutes mes pensées...
Qu'elles aillent donc sur l'aile du vent
Jusques à toi, ces colombes blessées !
