Veux‑tu ?
 (Sung text for setting by C. Chaminade)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Aux jours envolés de nos pures joies
Nous pouvous encor faire un lendemain ;
Pour me ramener vers le droit chemin,
Moi qui m'égarais aux mauvaises voies,
Veux-tu dans ta main reprendre ma main ?

Mon horizon bleu s'est terni dans l'ombre,
J'ai trouvé le pire en cherchant le mieux ;
Mon regard en vain redemande aux cieux
Ses rayons perdus. Tout n'est que nuit sombre ;
Veux-tu dans tes yeux ranimer mes yeux ?

 ...
