La barque
Language: French (Français)
Chosen for Diff
La barque sur l’eau qui jase Promène des amoureux, Qui tous deux avec emphase Echangent d’éternels voœux. Mais l’eau verte qui ruisselle En son clapotis leur dit : Que vite, plus vite qu’elle, L’amour, ici bas s’en fuit. La barque sur l’eau qui jase Promène des amoureux!
