10. Le Tzigane dans la lune  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
C'est un vieux conte de Bohême : 
Sur un violon, à minuit, 
Dans la lune un tsigane blême 
Joue en faisant si peu de bruit 

Que cette musique très tendre,
Parmi les silences des bois,
Jusqu'ici ne s'est fait entendre 
Qu'aux amoureux baissant la voix. 

Mon amour, l'heure est opportune :
La lune argente le bois noir ; 
Viens écouter si dans la lune 
Le violon chante ce soir !
