by Émilie Arnal (1863 - 1935)
Aime‑moi
Language: French (Français)
Aime-moi puisque m'importe Tout ce qui te charmera, Ma main ouvrira ta porte Au rêve qui te plaira. [J'ai mourais]1 tout de ta vie, Tes amitiés, tes amours, Ta sagesse, ta folie, D'ombre même de tes jours. Je voudrais que ma tendresse Loin d'arrêter ton essor Par un nœud dur qui te blesse Se2 rendit plus libre et fort. Prends moi dans tes mains puissantes Mêle mon souffle et le tien, Puis, va!...Je veux que tu sentes Tout ce que vivre contient. Va! Je sais qu'au bout du monde Le désir poignant et doux Que mon cœur au tien répond Fera ployer tes genoux.

1 grammatically, this should probably be "Je mourrais pour "... again, this may appear on the score and must be checked.
2 perhaps this should be "Te" ?
