by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895 - 1952), as Jean du Haut

Le coin du cœur disaient‑ils gentiment
Language: French (Français) 
Le coin du cœur disaient-ils gentiment
Le coin d'amour et de haine et de gloire
Répondions-nous et nos yeux reflétaient
La vérité qui nous servait d'asile

Nous n'avons jamais commencé
Nous nous sommes toujours aimés
Et parce que nous nous aimons
Nous voulons libérer les autres
De leur solitude glacée
Nous voulons et je dis je veux
Je dis tu veux et nous voulons
Que la lumière perpétue
Des couple brillants de vertu
Des couples cuirassés d'audace
Parce que leurs yeux se font face

Et qu'ils ont leur but dans la vie des autres.
