Il la prend dans ses bras
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Il la prend dans ses bras Lueurs brillantes un instant entrevues Aux omoplates aux épaules aux seins Puis cachées par un nuage. Elle porte la main sur son coeur Elle pâlit elle frissonne Qui donc a crié? Mais l'autre s'il est encor vivant On le retrouvera Dans une ville inconnue.
