Le maure jaloux
 (Sung text for setting by H. Berlioz)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
Je vais revoir la beauté que j'adore.
Un plaisir pur, doit seul remplir mon coeur;
Mais malgré moi ce coeur murmure encore;
Dans son ivresse il connaît la fureur.

Transports jaloux, crainte cruelle, 
Pourquoi troubler mes tendres feux?
Ah! Zora, que n'es-tu moins belle
Sans cesser d'être aussi fidèle?
Ton amant serait plus heureux!

Dans nos forêts, la charmante gazelle
À tout mortel se cache avec effroi.
Imitela, fuis les regards comme elle!
Elle est sensible et douce comme toi.

Ah! vain espoir de mon âme éperdue!
Peux-tu cacher tes attraits enchanteurs.
Le beau palmier qui monte dans la nue
N'échappe point aux yeux des voyageurs...
