by Benjamin Louis Paul Godard (1849 - 1895)

Chanson arabe
Language: French (Français) 
Dans le sérail sont mes amours
Je suis séparé pour toujours
De celle que j'aime
Ah !

Je vais errer
Près du palais
Mais elle ne saura jamais
Combien je l'aime
Ah !

Dans le désert
Toute la nuit
Je cherche un repos qui me fuit
Hélas ! je l'aime
Ah !

Aux bords du Nil
Je vais le soir
Pleurer mon amour sans espoir
Hélas ! je l'aime

J'ai dans mon cœur son souvenir
Oh ! je voudrais pouvoir mourir
Pour celle que j'aime !
Ah !

J'irai l'attendre au sein des cieux
Là, je reverrai les beaux yeux
De celle que j'aime
Ah !
