Des papillons de jour
Language: French (Français)
Des papillons de jour S'envolent sur les vagues, Mon coeur se meurt d'amour Depuis que j'ai sa bague. S'envolent sur les vagues De sinistres corbeaux, Depuis que j'ai sa bague, Je rêve de tombeaux. De sinistres corbeaux Là bas, le vol essaime Jái rêvé, de tombeaux. Reviens, ô toi que j'aime Là bas le vol essaime Des papillons de jour... Reviens ô toi que j'aime! Mon coeur se meurt d'amour.
