Le désert - de l'Ode Symphonie

Song Cycle by Félicien César David (1810 - 1876)

2. Rêverie orientale
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Ma belle nuit, oh! sois plus lente!
Oui, tu me fais aimer et vivre;
O nuit, tandis que ma voix chante,
Mon bien-aimé d'amour s'enivre.

Vogue sans bruit, lune éclatante!
Au ciel je ne veux pas te suivre;
Ici, tandis que ma voix chante,
Mon bien-aimé d'amour s'enivre.

Mais ma paupière languissante
Au doux sommeil déjà se livre,
Et quand ma voix s'éteint mourante,
Mon bien-aimé d'amour s'enivre.
