Ma chambrette
 (Sung text for setting by J. Pénavaire)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
De ma chambrette on n'aperçoit
Qu'un coin d'espace bien étroit ;
L'azur du ciel est une chose
Que chacun chante en vers, en prose,
Mais qu'à Paris fort peu l'on voit.
Pourquoi m'en plaindre ? on peut du doigt
Toucher le mur qui monte droit,
Et la fenêtre où paraît Rose.
De ma chambrette on n'aperçoit
Un nid charmant au bord du toit,
Un chaud regard quand il fait froid,
Un frais sourire à l'aube rose.
Ah ! tout cela fait, je suppose,
De ma chambrette on n'aperçoit
Qu'un coin d'espace bien étroit,
Mais l'amour chante au bord du toit.

    Set to music by Jean-Grégoire Pénavaire (1838 - 1906), "Ma chambrette" [ high voice and piano ], from Vingt mélodies, no. 13, Paris, Éd. Choudens
