by André Chanet (c1820 - c1886), as André Chaten

Un baiser!
Language: French (Français) 
Un baiser! un baiser, ma reine,
Un seul baiser!
Mais non! l'amour est une chaîne
Qu'il faut briser. 

L'amour, c'est l'éternelle histoire 
Du voyageur
Qui voit courir dans la nuit noire
Une lueur ; 

Ah ! Un baiser ! etc.

La flamme franchit maint espace,
L'homme la suit;
La route tourne, tout s'efface,
Revient la nuit.

Ah ! Un baiser ! etc.

Non ! non ! je ne veux plus te suivre;
Follet moqueur!
Pourtant il était doux de vivre 
Cœur contre cœur.

Ah ! Un baiser ! etc.

Ah ! bien fou qui se désespère 
Pour un œil bleu !
Un baiser, ma chère 
Et puis, adieu !
