Voyage
 (Sung text for setting by V. Massé)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Au pays d'où je viens
Je vous aimais, madame.
Vos yeux étaient les miens,
Et mienne était votre âme.

Au pays où je suis
Sans cesse à vous je pense,
Et je maudis l'absence,
Et je pleure les nuits.

Au pays où je vais
J'emporte ma tristesse ;
Chaque pas que je fais,
me tue, ô ma maîtresse !
