French text
Emporte ma folie
Au gré du vent,
Fleur en chantant cueillie
Et jetée en rêvant,
- Emporte ma folie
Au gré du vent:
Comme la fleur fauchée
Périt l’amour:
La main qui t’a touchée
Fuit ma main sans retour.
- Comme la fleur fauchée
Périt l’amour.
Que le vent qui te sèche
O pauvre fleur,
Tout à l’heure si fraîche
Et demain sans couleur,
- Que le vent qui te sèche,
Sèche mon cœur!
