Berceuse
Language: French (Français)
Dors tranquille et repose, cher enfant, dors encore, Et qu'un beau songe d'or caresse ton front rose. Tu connaîtras plus tard soucis, chagrins et peines Dont chacun a sa part sur les routes humaines. Va donc chercher un abri dans le pays des rêves Dont les douceurs trop brèves donnent du moins l'oubli! Dors tranquille et repose, cher enfant, dors encore, Et qu'un beau songe d'or caresse ton front rose.
