by Marie-Joseph-Alexandre Déodat de Séverac (1872 - 1921)

Ma poupée chérie
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ma poupée chérie ne veut pas dormir!
Petit ange mien, tu me fais souffrir!
Ferme tes doux yeux, tes yeux de saphir,
Dors, poupée, dors, dors! ou je vais mourir.
Il faudrait, je crois, pour te rendre sage,
Un manteau de soie, de riches corsages!
Tu voudrais des roses à ton clair béguin,
Des bijoux d'or fin et mille autres choses!
Ma poupée chérie ne veut pas dormir?
Quand parrain viendra, sur son âne gris,
Il t'apportera de son grand Paris,
Un petit mari qui dira: "Papa"
Et qui dormira quand on le voudra.
Ma poupée chérie vient de s'endormir!
Bercez-la bien doux, ruisseaux et zéphirs!
Et vous chérubins, gardez-la moi bien!
Sa maman jolie l'aime à la folie!
