by Louise de Vilmorin (1902 - 1969)

Fête
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  GER
Violons des amours inquiètes
J‘aime une belle au cœur volant,
jouez de mon cœur pour sa fête,
jouez violons de beau temps.

Couronne de baisers en tête
Elle dort du poids de mes nuits.
Jouez violons pour sa fête,
Sortez doucement des étuis.

Des violons ca n’est pas la saison.

Chantez à son lit où je guette,
En ses soupirs son vœu d’un jour.
Jouez de mon cœur pour sa fête
Et que l’éveil soit son retour.

Elle ouvre les yeux et se jette
À mon cœur comme à son miroir.
Jouez violons pour ma fête,
Elle m‘aime et veut le savoir.

Des violons c’est la pleine saison.
