by J. E. Leroy

Si vous voulez
Language: French (Français) 
Si vous voulez que je chante
L'azur de vos jolis yeux,
Qui rendent jaloux les cieux
De leur parure éclatante,
Laissez tomber sans retard
Sur moi seul votre regard ...

Si vous voulez que je rêve, 
Que je ne pense qu’à vous, 
Couvrez-moi de baisers fous, 
Que mon ivresse soit brève ... 
Faites enfin que mon cœur 
Ne vive d’autre bonheur ...
Si vous voulez que je rêve !

Si vous voulez, vous, que j’aime, 
Me choisir pour votre époux, 
Acceptez ce billet doux, 
Cet aveu tendre et suprême;.
Il vous dira tout l’amour 
Que vous fîtes naître un jour : 
Permettez que je vous aime!
