Une lueur d'argent
 (Sung text for setting by C. Debussy)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Une lueur d'argent enveloppe l'air bleu, 
Et tout nous dit d'aimer et tout nous dit de vivre.
Et cette ombre et l'odeur des feuilles qui t'enivre,
Et la rose qui trône au milieu de sa cour, 
Ces pleurs, ces bruits, ces voix, ces parfums, c'est l'amour !
Je t'aime !
