by Eugène, Marquis de Lonlay (1815 - 1866)

Les yeux bleus
Language: French (Français) 
Tes deux jolis yeux,
Bleus comme les cieux,
Tes deux jolis yeux,
Ont ravi mon âme !
La céleste flamme
A ravi mes yeux.

Par un seul mot l'âme est ravie,
Le cœur ému donne sa foi,
Un regard peut troubler la vie
Et ton regard brilla sur moi.
Tes deux jolis yeux etc.

Tu veux savoir, savoir sans cesse,
Dans tout les lieux ou tu n’es pas,
Pourquoi la crainte et la tristesse
Volent soudain devant mes pas ?
Tes deux jolis yeux etc.

Enfin tu veux savoir encore
Pourquoi je change en te voyant,
Pourquoi mon front se décolore,
Pourquoi mon cœur est tout tremblant !
Tes deux jolis yeux etc.
