Rêverie
 (Sung text for setting by Pessard)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Rossignols au langage,
Charmant sous le feuillage,
Si j'avais votre douce voix,
Sur un arbre, près d'elle,
Je bercerais ma belle
De mes chants dans le fond des bois.

Ah ! si j'avais vos ailes,
Rapides hirondelles,
Lorsque je souffre tous les jours,
Franchissant les espaces
J'irais, suivant vos traces,
Et volerais vers mes amours.
