Les trois soeurs aveugles

Language: French

Les trois soeurs aveugles,
(Espérons encore)
Les trois soeurs aveugles,
Ont leurs lampes d'or.
Montent à la tour,
(Elles, vous et nous)
Montent à la tour,
Attendent sept jours.
Ah! dit la première,
(Espérons encore)
Ah! dit la première,
J'entends nos lumières.
Ah! dit la seconde,
(Elles, vous et nous)
Ah! dit la seconde,
C'est le roi qui monte.
Non, dit la plus sainte,
(Espérons encore)
Non., dit la plus sainte,
Elles se sont éteintes . . .
