by Georges Dupré (1869 - 1909)

Chanson arabe
Language: French (Français) 
Dans la nuit qui commence
Sous les étoiles d'or,
Au milieu du silence
Seule je veille encor.
Celui qui me console
A fui loin de mes yeux,
Vers lui ma voix s'envole
Dans l'air mystérieux.
Ma chanson lente ou brève,
Tendrement se poursuit
Va mon doux rêve
Dans la nuit.

Pour calmer mon attente,
Jusqu'au lever du jour
Et charmer l'heure lente,
Je dis mon chant d'amour.
Il berce ma tristesse,
Il calme mes tourments.
Je songe à ta caresse,
Doux maître que j'attends.
Ma chanson etc.
