from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Réveillez vous
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Réveillez-vous, belle endormie
Réveillez-vous, car il est jour
mettez la tête à la fenêtre 
vous entendrez parler de nous

La belle a mis le pied à terre
tout doucement s'en est allée
d'une main elle ouvre la porte 
entrez galant si vous m'aimez

Mais la belle s'est endormie
entre les bras de son amant
et celui-ci qui la regarde
en lui voyant ces yeux mourants

Que les étoiles sont brillantes
et le soleil est éclatant
mais les beaux yeux de ma maîtresse
en sont encore les plus charmants
