by Évariste Desiré de Forges, vicomte de Parny (1753 - 1814)

Romance
 (Sung text for setting by Z. de La Rüe)
 Matches original text
Language: French (Français) 
C’est en fait, j’ai cessé de plaire;
Bala ma retiré son coeur;
Elle m’a dit: Fuis téméraire!
Et c’est l’arrêt de mon malheur!

Adieu, touchante rêverie;
Adieu, riant et frais séjour,
Adieu le printemps et la vie,
Adieu tout, puisqu’adieu l’amour.

Trop d’audace a causé ma perte,
J’ai vu son sourire enchanteur,
J’ai baisé sa bouche entr’ouverte
Et j’ai cru baiser une fleur.

Adieu, touchante rêverie…

Malgré le courroux qui l’anime,
Je ne saurais me repentir,
Et du baiser qui fait mon crime
J’aime encore le souvenir.

Adieu, touchante rêverie…
