Neige et fleurs Lune et vent Accords si lointains Déjà le printemps. Cloches sonnent Brise passe Vent caresse Mon sein blanc, doux émoi. Depuis combien de temps sommes nous séparés ? L’être qui aime est bien fragile, Partout règnent les désirs. Le rossignol chante au loin sa chanson d’amour. Approche rossignol approche, Viens près de moi sois mon ami. Approche rossignol approche Veux-tu me dire ta chanson ? Ah! Ah! Rossignol doux ami reste près de moi, Je me sens si seule. Rossignol doux émoi... Il se tait. Vent caresse mon sein blanc !
