Le chant du veilleur

(Sung text for setting by D. Milhaud)

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG

Holà! Qui va là? triste veilleur,
Pauvre sentinelle, je traverse la nuit,
Le sommeil me fuit terriblement.
Suis-je donc fait de fer?

Tout le monde dort et repose en paix
Et oublie les tracas du jour.
Moi seul je cherche en vain du repos sur la pierre,
Moi, moi seul - je cherche en vain du repos sur la pierre.
Holà! Qui va là?
