by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895 - 1952), as Paul Éluard
Je n'ai envie que de t'aimer
Language: French (Français)
Je n'ai envie que de t'aimer Un orage emplit la vallée Un poisson la rivière Je t'ai faite à la taille de ma solitude. Le monde entier pour se cacher Des jours des nuits pour se comprendre Pour ne plus rien voir dans tes yeux Que ce que je pense de toi Et d'un monde à ton image Et des jours et des nuits réglés par tes paupières.
