by M. de Courtois

Romance
Language: French (Français) 
J'ai su me plier à tous vos caprices 
J'ai courbé la tête a tous vos soupçons 
Et mon coeur aimant à vos injustices 
cherchait et trouvait longtemps un pardon.

Mais un jour arrive où la coupe est pleine 
un cri de revolte échappe du coeur 
Esclave il veut rompre une indigne chaine 
Et libre il se fuit au prix du bonheur

Vous avez troublé cette eau pure et vive 
vous avez voulu ce triste combat
Pleurez maintenant larmes trop tardives 
car l'amour perdu ne reviendra pas 

Ne m'accusez pas de vôtre détresse 
c'est vous,  rien que vous, qui l'avez voulu 
vous avez en moi tué la tendresse 
La faute est à vous si je ne vous aime plus
