French (Français) translations of Drei Lieder, opus 5

by Edgar Vogel (b. 1883)

1. Angélique  [sung text not yet checked]
by Edgar Vogel (b. 1883), "Angélique", op. 5 (Drei Lieder) no. 3
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Ich halte ihr die Augen zu
Und küss' sie auf den Mund.
Nun läßt sie mich nicht mehr in Ruh'.
Sie fragt mich [um den]1 Grund.

Von [Abend]2 spät bis Morgens fruh,
Sie fragt zu jeder Stund':
Was hältst du mir die Augen zu,
Wenn du mir küßt den Mund?

Ich sag' ihr nicht, weshalb ich's tu',
Weiß selber nicht den Grund --
Ich halte [ihr]3 die Augen zu
Und küss' sie auf den Mund.

1. Je lui ferme les yeux
Language: French (Français) 
Je lui ferme les yeux
Et l'embrasse sur la bouche.
Mais, elle ne me laisse plus en repos.
Elle m'en demande la raison.

Du soir tard jusqu'au matin tôt,
Elle demande à chaque instant :
« Pourquoi me fermes-tu les yeux
Quand tu m'embrasses sur la bouche ? »

Je ne lui dis pas pourquoi je le fais,
Je n'en sais pas moi-même la raison --
Je lui ferme les yeux
Et l'embrasse sur la bouche.
