opus 18

Translations available for the entire opus: ENG 

2. Chanson magyare  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Ne m'appelle pas, je t'en prie,
Ta rose, car, si j'étais fleur,
Je serais bien vite flétrie.
Sans grâce, parfum ni couleur,

Ne m'appelle pas davantage
Ta colombe, car les oiseaux
Ayant les ailes en partage,
Volent, de rameaux, en rameaux.

Moi je veux être toujours belle,
Ami, pour te plaire toujours.
Je veux surtout rester fidèle,
Au premier nid de nos amours.
