Mon bras pressait ta taille frêle Et souple comme le roseau; Ton sein palpitait comme l'aile D'un jeune oiseau! Longtemps muets, nous contemplâmes Le ciel où s'éteignait le jour. Que se passait-il dans nos âmes? Amour! Amour! Comme un ange qui se dévoile, Tu me regardais, dans ma nuit, Avec ton beau regard d'étoile, Qui m'éblouit.
E. Lalo sets stanzas 3, 1-2

My arm squeezed your waist, fragile And supple like the reed; Your breast beat like the wing Of a young bird! Mute for a long time, we contemplated The part of the sky where the daylight died away. What was happening in our souls? Love! Love! Like an angel who removes its veil, You looked at me, in my night, With your beautiful star-like gaze, Which dazzled me.
