When winter has passed

Paul-Jean-Jacques Lacôme d'Estalenx

When winter cold and bleak has passed,

Still dripping with his icy showers,

The genial spring is here again;

We're dreaming and singing and loving!

All the girls do their best to charm;

The only one I fail in wooing

Is her whom I desire to love.

All loving, all dreaming, all singing!

One day only on me she smiled;

And her pity for me was brief.

I have not yet got over it,

All dreaming and singing and loving!

All the girls do their best to charm;

The only one I fail in wooing

Is her whom I desire to love.

All loving, all dreaming, all singing!
