Nous nous aimerons
 (Sung text for setting by E. Chausson)

Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Nous nous aimerons au bord d'un sentier
Où l'herbe soit haute, et fraîche, et bien douce,
Ou dans les grands bois, sur un lit de mousse...
Nous nous aimerons par le monde entier.

Nous nous aimerons éperdus, en rêve,
Ne comprenant rien aux bruits d'ici-bas,
Nous aimant toujours, ne nous parlant pas,
Sur un océan qui n'a point de grève.

Nous n'aborderons nulle part : toujours
Un bonheur tranquille, ineffable, immense ;
Et le vent des cieux, plus doux qu'un silence,
Nous murmurera des chansons d'amour.

Composition:

    Set to music by Ernest Amédée Chausson (1855 - 1899), "Nous nous aimerons", 1882 [ high voice and piano ]
