Il [pleure]1 dans mon cœur Comme il pleut sur la ville ; Quelle est cette langueur Qui pénètre mon cœur ? Ô bruit doux de la pluie, Par terre et sur les toits ! Pour un cœur qui s'ennuie, Ô le [chant]2 de la pluie ! Il pleure sans raison Dans [ce]3 cœur qui s'écœure. Quoi ! nulle trahison ? ... [Ce]4 deuil est sans raison. C'est bien la pire peine, De ne savoir pourquoi... Sans amour et sans haine Mon cœur a tant de peine !

Language: French (Français)
Les sanglots longs Des violons De l'automne Blessent mon cœur D'une langueur Monotone. Tout suffocant Et blême, quand Sonne l'heure, Je me souviens Des jours anciens Et je pleure ; Et je m'en vais Au vent mauvais Qui m'emporte Deçà, delà, Pareil à la Feuille morte.
