Viens! mon bien‑aimé
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Les b'eaux jours vont enfin renaître,
Le voici, l'avril embaumé!
Un frisson d'amour me pénètre,
Viens! mon bien-aimé!
Ils ont fui, les longs soirs moroses,
Déjà le jardin parfumé
Se remplit d'oiseaux et de roses:
Viens! mon bien-aimé!
Soleil, de ta brûlante ivresse,
J'ai senti mon coeur enflammé,
Plus enivrante est ta caresse,
Viens! mon bien-aimé!
Tout se tait, de millions d'étoiles
Le ciel profond est parsemé,
Quand sur nous la nuit met ses voiles:
Viens! mon bien-aimé!

Come my sweet love!
Language: English  after the French (Français)
The beautiful days will finally return
And finally April is with us!
A frisson of love passes through me,
Come my sweet love!
Gone are the long, sad evenings,
The garden is perfumed
It is filling up with birds and roses.
Come my sweet love!
The sun flames intensely.
It burns in my heart,
Your caress is passionate
Come my sweet love
All is silent, the millions of stars,
Are scattered in the distant sky
When the night casts her veil:
Come, my sweet love!
