Ouvre ton cœur
Language: French (Français)
La marguerite a fermé sa corolle, L'ombre a fermé les yeux du jour. Belle, me tiendras-tu parole? Ouvre ton coeur à mon amour. Ouvre ton coeur, ô jeune ange, à ma flamme, Qu'un rêve charme ton sommeil. Je veux reprendre mon âme, Comme une fleur s'ouvre au soleil!
