Transcription

1
De son l’hiver nous assiege
Déjà elle s’avancea pas lent
Les toits son couvert de neige
On dirais des cheveux blanc
Il se mette a morphose
Le matin a mon reveil
A ma fenetre a mi close
Elle m’apportais le someil

Refrain
La nature nous ordonne
Que nous cherirons tout temp
Il nous faut l’hiver ma mignonne
Pour nous faire aimer le printemp

2
Je vois desmarnes aussi mechante
Dans tes grand yeux egare
Si j’avais venu tepouvante
Ne nous te la ferons oublier
La nuit emporte l’aurore
Et l’hiver a sa fraicheur
Si tes mains son froide encore
Rechauffe les sur mon coeur
