Deux Mélodies pour chant avec accompagnement de piano

by Marc Delmas (1885 - 1931)

1. Le Rideau de ma voisine  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Le rideau de ma voisine
Se soulève lentement.
Elle va, je l'imagine,
  Prendre l'air un moment.

On entr'ouvre la fenêtre ;
Je sens mon cœur palpiter.
Elle veut savoir peut-être
  Si je suis à guetter.

Mais, hélas ! ce n'est qu'un rêve ;
Ma voisine aime un lourdaud,
Et c'est le vent qui soulève
  Le coin de son rideau.
