Tes yeux!
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Tes yeux, tes jolis yeux aux longs regards si doux
Versent dans ma pensée les baisers de ton âme
Tes yeux, tes jolis yeux aux longs regards de flamme
Font brûler dans mon coeur le bonheur des jaloux
Ils calment aussitôt jusqu’aux moindres courroux
C’est l’oubli des peines, par eux, vite adoucies
C’est le soleil d’amour aux clartés infinies
Tes yeux, trésors chéris que j’adore à genoux
Tes yeux, tes jolis yeux aux longs regards si doux
Versent dans ma pensée les baisers de ton âme
Tes yeux, tes jolis yeux aux longs regards de flamme
Sont l’âme de ma vie qui n’est plus rien sans vous

Your eyes
Language: English  after the French (Français)
Your eyes, your lovely eyes, with long looks so sweet
Pour your soul’s kisses into my mind.
Your eyes, your lovely eyes, with long looks of flame
Make the happiness of jealous ones burn in my heart.
They calm immediately the [least] anger:
It is the forgetting of sorrows quickly softened by them;
It is the sun of love with infinite brightness,
Your eyes, cherished treasures which I adore on bended knee.
Your eyes, your lovely eyes, with long looks so sweet
Pour your soul’s kisses into my mind.
Your eyes, your lovely eyes, with long looks of flame,
They are the soul of my life, which is [nothing] without you.
