by Daniel Fallström (1858 - 1937)
Translation Singable translation by Amédée-Landély Hettich (1856 - 1937)

Sérénade
Language: French (Français)  after the Swedish (Svenska) 
Divine! quand tu vas paraître,
La nuit hésite à ton balcon ;
Et moi, captif sous ta fenêtre,
Je mets mon âme en ma chanson.

De gîte, point, d'habits, à peine ;
Bohème fier et mendicant,
Quand je ne chante à gorge pleine,
Je tends la main tout en riant,
fier mendiant !

Mais en nous, étrange merveille,
Sont des liens mystérieux...
Ton rêve en mon âme sommeille,
Et mon désir veille en tes yeux,
Et mon désir veille en tes yeux !
