Deux Mélodies

Song Cycle by Fernando d'Azevedo e Silva (1845 - 1923)

1. Rieuse  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Tu me demandes, rieuse 
Curieuse, 
Combien de jours il y a, 
Combien de jours que je t'aime? 
Prends toi même 
La branche d'acacia, 

Prends et casse cette branche 
Toute blanche 
De fleurs moins blanches que toi, 
Compte les fleurs et les feuilles 
Que tu cueilles 
Une par une, et dis-moi 

Combien les fleurs et les feuilles 
Que tu cueilles 
Sont sur tout l'acacia; 
Alors, depuis que je t'aime 
Dis toi-même
Combien de jours il y a.
