Vingt mélodies

Song Cycle by Charles Gounod (1818 - 1893)

3. À toi mon cœur
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
La perle est aux ondes,
Les cieux ont le jour!
Mais mon coeur 
a l'amour!

Cieux infinis, mers profondes,
Ce coeur dérobe aux yeux
Plus de perles que les ondes
Plus d'astres que les cieux!

Toi, fille jeune et belle,
Viens au coeur qui t'appelle
Mon coeur, et les flots, et le jour
Palpitent du même amour!
