Une très douce mélodie
Language: French (Français) after the Persian (Farsi)
Une très douce mélodie descend du ciel dans mon âme si douce, qu'on dirait une blonde caresse d'aile C'est la brise du soir, sans doute, qui m'apporte un peu de ton parfum car mon cœur enivre chante! C'est la brise du soir qui me promet la fleur de ton baiser car mon cœur éperdu sanglotte!
