Cinco melodías populares griegas

View original-language texts alone: Cinq mélodies populaires grecques
Réveille-toi, réveille-toi, perdrix mignonne, Ouvre au matin tes ailes. Trois grains de beauté, mon cœur en est brûlé! Vois le ruban d'or que je t'apporte, Pour le nouer autour de tes cheveux. Si tu veux, ma belle, viens nous marier! Dans nos deux familles, tous sont alliés!

Despiértate, preciosa perdiz, Abre tus alas a la mañana, Tres lunares, mi corazón arde por ellos. Mira la cinta de oro que te traigo Para anudarla alrededor de tus cabellos. ¡Si quieres, hermosa mía, ven a casarte conmigo! En nuestras familias todos son aliados.

Ô joie de mon âme, Joie de mon coeur, Trésor qui m'est si cher ; Joie de l'âme et du cœur, Toi que j'aime ardemment, Tu es plus beau qu'un ange. Ô lorsque tu parais, Ange si doux Devant nos yeux, Comme un bel ange blond, Sous le clair soleil, Hélas ! tous nos pauvres cœurs soupirent !
