by Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie (1802 - 1870)

En me promenant ce soir au rivage
Language: French (Français) 
Don Juan, chantant au bas de la fenêtre
 En me promenant ce soir au rivage,
 Où pendant une heure à vous j’ai rêvé,
 J’ai laissé tomber mon cœur sur la plage,
 Vous veniez ensuite et l’avez trouvé.

 Dites-moi comment finir cette affaire ?
 Les procès sont longs, les juges vendus ;
 Je perdrai ma cause, et pourtant, que faire ?
 Vous avez deux cœurs, et je n’en ai plus.

 Mais, dès qu'on s'entend, bientôt tout s’arrange,
 Et souvent le mal nous conduit au bien.
 De nos deux cœurs entre eux faisons échange,
 Rendez-moi le vôtre et gardez le mien.
