Oh ! mon amour, pourquoi, quand nous sommes ensemble,
Délicieusement, ai-je le cœur qui tremble ?...
Comme lui, la mer tremble au coucher du soleil,
Et la forêt, sous l'aube aimante, à son éveil.

Les lignes de ton corps sont comme une musique,
Tout ton être, tes bras, tes seins délicieux
Créent des rythmes parfaits pour mon âme extatique ;
Et je les goûte avec des larmes dans les yeux.

Ta beauté, quand tu pars, me laisse comme un chant,
Dont la tendre douceur tout entier me pénètre ;
Et mon âme s'emplit de soupirs l'étouffant,
Et ce chant merveilleux fait trembler tout mon être.
