by François Coppée (1842 - 1908)

Aubade parisienne
Language: French (Français) 
Pour venir t’aimer, ma chère,
Je franchis les blancs ruisseaux,
Et j’ai l’âme si légère
Que j’ai pitié des oiseaux.

Quel temps fait-il donc ? Il gèle,
Mais je me crois au printemps.
Entends-tu, mademoiselle ?
Tu m’as rendu mes vingt ans.

Tu m’as rendu ma jeunesse ;
Ce cœur que je croyais mort,
Je veux pour toi qu’il renaisse ;
Écoute, comme il bat fort !

Quelle heure est-il ? Tu déjeunes ;
Prends ce fruit et mords dedans.
C’est permis, nous sommes jeunes,
Et j’en mange sur tes dents.

Parle-moi, dis-moi des choses.
Je n’écoute pas, je vois
S’agiter tes lèvres roses
Et je respire ta voix.

Je t’aime et je t’aime encore ;
À tes pieds je viens m’asseoir.
Laisse-moi faire ; j’adore
Le tapis de ton boudoir !
