Le Serment
 (Sung text for setting by N. Reber)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
  Idole de ma vie, 
  Mon tourment, mon plaisir ! 
  Dis-moi si ton envie 
  S'accorde à mon désir ?
Comme je t'aime en mes beaux jours,
  Je veux t'aimer toujours. 

 ... 

  Sois d'un cœur qui t'adore
  L'unique souvenir ; 
  Je te promets encore 
  Ce que j'ai d'avenir.
Comme je t'aime en mes beaux jours,
  Je veux t'aimer toujours. 

  Vers ton âme attirée 
  Par le plus doux transport, 
  Sur ta bouche adorée
  Laisse-moi dire encor :
Comme je t'aime en mes beaux jours,
  Je veux t'aimer toujours.
