Rien que ce doux petit visage
Language: French (Français)
Rien que ce doux petit visage Rien que ce doux petit oiseau Sur la jetée lointaine où les enfants faiblissent À la sortie de l'hiver Quand les nuages commencent à brûler Comme toujours Quand l'air frais se colore Rien que cette jeunesse qui fuit devant la vie.
