Parfums de Bergame
Language: French (Français)
O vieux parfum vaporisé Dont mes narines sont grisées ! Les douces et folles risées Tournent dans l'air subtilisé. Désir enfin réalisé Des choses longtemps méprisées : O vieux parfum vaporisé Dont mes narines sont grisées ! Le charme du spleen est brisé : Par mes fenêtres irisées Je revois les bleus Elysées Où Watteau s'est éternisé. - O vieux parfum vaporisé !

O alter Duft
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the French (Français)
O alter Duft aus Märchenzeit, Berauschest wieder meine Sinne; Ein närrisch Heer von Schelmerein Durchschwirrt die leichte Luft. Ein glückhaft Wünschen macht mich froh Nach Freuden, die ich lang verachtet: O alter Duft aus Märchenzeit, Berauschest wieder mich! All meinen Unmut gab ich preis; Aus meinem sonnumrahmten Fenster Beschau ich frei die liebe Welt Und träum hinaus in selge Weiten... O alter Duft - aus Märchenzeit!
