by Charles Fuster (1866 - 1929)

La valse passe
Language: French (Français) 
La valse passe, 
Elle m'enlace ;
Et nous tournons, d'un même essor, 
Demarche unie, 
Dans l'harmonie, 
Les parfums et les frissons d'or.

La valse oppresse
De ma tendresse
Les aveux trop fiers pour oser, 
Et je m'enivre
Du mal de vivre
Dans l'espoir vain d'un tel baiser.

La valse expire ;
Qu' avais-je à dire ?
Sans savoir, elle m'a quitte.
La valse tombe ;
Vienne la tombe !
J'ai vecu mon eternité.
