Sonnet d'amour
 (Sung text for setting by F. Thomé)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Sous le soleil qui les irise,
En dorant leur reflets soyeux
Je voudrais dans tes blonds cheveux
passer léger comme la brise,
Et sur ton cou charmant, où frise
Une boucle aux plis onduleux,
En respirer, voluptueux,
L'enivrant parfum qui me grise.
Comme au hasard, sans y penser,
Serait-ce vraimant t'offenser
Si sur tes lèvres de cerise
Je mettais, sachant t'apaiser
Avec l'amour que tu m'a prise,
Toute ma vie en un baiser?
