by Paul Bourguignat , as Paul de Chabaleyret

Vous qui passez
Language: French (Français) 
Ô vous qui passez solitaire,
Vous qui passez,
Savez vous qu'il est sur la terre
Des cœurs blessés?
Mais rien n'émeut votre âme fière,
Vous qui passez,

Vous qui riez, insouciante,
Vous qui riez,
D'un baiser ma lèvre tremblante
Aurait assez.
Sans amour que la vie est lente,
Vous qui riez !

Vous qui n'aimez, triste folie,
Vous qui n'aimez,
Vos jours comme une fleur pâlie
Se sont fermés;
Prenez mon cœur, prenez ma vie,
Vous qui n'aimez.
