Est‑ce le vent ?
Language: French (Français)  after the Japanese (日本語)
Je crois que c'est le vent... Mais, peut-être, est-ce Lui? Mon cœur, dans sa nuit noire, hésite. Je l'aime tant, qu'au moindre bruit, je sursaute !... Elle veut vaincre son tourment en essayant de dormir. Elle ne le peut. L'amour, c'est comme cela!
