Il pleure dans mon coeur

Language: French

Il pleure dans mon coeur
Comme il pleut sur la ville.
Quelle est cette langueur
Qui pénètre mon coeur?

O bruit doux de la pluie,
Par terre et sur les toits!
Pour un coeur qui s'ennuie,
O le [chant]1 de la pluie! 

Il pleure sans raison
Dans [ce]2 coeur qui s'écoeure.
Quoi! nulle trahison?
[Ce]3 deuil est sans raison.

C'est bien la pire peine,
De ne savoir pourquoi,
Sans amour et sans haine,
Mon coeur a tant de peine.
