Original text and translations
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 coeur!
