Chanson d'amour See original
Language: French (Français)
J'aime tes yeux, j'aime ton front, Ô ma rebelle, ô ma farouche, J'aime tes yeux, j'aime ta bouche Où mes baisers s'épuiseront. J'aime ta voix, j'aime l'étrange Grâce de tout ce que tu dis, Ô ma rebelle, ô mon cher ange, Mon enfer et mon paradis ! J'aime tes yeux, j'aime ton front. J'aime tout ce qui te fait belle, De tes pieds jusqu'à tes cheveux, Ô toi vers qui montent mes vœux !
