by Eugène Leterrier (1843 - 1884) and by Albert Vanloo (1846 - 1920)

Romance de l'étoile
Language: French (Français) 
Ô petite étoile
Du destin c'est par toi
Que je vais soulever le voile
O petite étoile, réponds-moi
Et dis-moi l'avenir,
Ah ! ma petite étoile !

Tu peux, gentille prophétesse,
Tu peux me donner la richesse
Ou bien promettre à mes désirs
Et la puissance et les plaisirs.
Ah! tu peux au gré de ton caprice,
Oui tu peux, étoile protectrice,
Faire de moi
un prince, un roi.

Ô petite étoile
Du destin c'est par toi
Que je vais soulever le voile
O petite étoile, réponds-moi
Et dis-moi l'avenir,
Ah ! ma petite étoile !
