Loin de moi ta lèvre qui ment
Language: French (Français) after the English
Loin de moi ta lèvre qui ment, Qui m'a trompé si doucement ! Si doucement. Et tes yeux, beaux comme les cieux, Eloigne aussi de moi tes yeux Tes grands beaux yeux. Mais rapporte-moi les baisers Que sur ta lèvre j'ai posés Tous mes baisers. Mes baiser qui scellaient ma foi, Tous mes vains baisers, rends-les moi, oh ! Rends-les moi !
