Fleurs décloses
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Nous aimer, à quoi bon, hélas ! avant que s'en vienne l'automne, va, nos pauvres cœurs seront las, car l'amour est si monotone... Ne nous aimons pas, nous verrons nos larmes et nos peines bien vite effacées... L'hiver viendra, nous oublierons fleurs décloses, amours passées...
