Sous les grands tilleuls
 (Sung text for setting by Pessard)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Sous les grands tilleuls
Est un banc de pierre,
Baigné d'ombre fraiche, où deux amants seuls
Peuvent, en rêvant, fermer la paupière.

La main dans la main,
Que de charmants rêves
On peut échanger sur le lendemain.
Aux parfums des fleurs, aux senteurs des sèves,

Quand la nuit descend, 
Lente et langoureuse,
Que le vent du soir passe en frémissant,
Viens sous les tilleuls, ô mon amoureuse !
