by Paul Robiquet (1848 - 1928)

Ouvre tes yeux bleus
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG LIT
Lui
 Ouvre tes yeux bleus, ma mignonne:
 Voici le jour!
 Déjà la fauvette fredonne
 Un chant d'amour.
 L'aurore épanuit la rose:
 Viens avec moi
 Cueillir la marguerite éclose.
 Réveille-toi! Réveille-toi!
 Ouvre tes yeux bleus, ma mignonne:
 Voici le jour ! ...

Elle
 A quoi bon contempler la terre
 Et sa beauté?
 L'amour est un plus doux mystère
 Qu'un jour d'été ;
 C'est en moi que l'oiseau module
 Un chant vainqueur,
 Et le grand soleil qui nous brûle
 Est dans mon cœur!
