Je n'ose pas
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Je n'ose pas, regardez donc mes larmes,
Mon front baissé, mon craintif embarras,
Donner un nom à ces tendres alarmes.

L'oiseau fait-il entendre
Sa douce voix s'il tremble dans les lacs ?
Mais votre cœur, ami, doit me comprendre.

Je n'ose pas vous avouer que j'aime ;
A ce penser mon cœur frémit tout bas ;
Mais en secret je le dis à moi-même.
