Sérénade
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: CAT
J'aime dans le rayon de la limpide aurore Le reflet de tes jolis yeux, Dans le chant matinal de l'oiseau j'aime encore L'écho de ton rire joyeux. Dans le calme des lys j'aime ta paix séreine, Dans leur pureté, ta blancheur; J'aime dans le parfum des roses ton haleine Et dans leur fraîcheur, ta fraîcheur. Dans la merque le flux ou le reflux agite J'aime tes caprices d'enfant, Et j'aime les soupirs de ton sein qui palpite Dans les longues plaintes du vent. J'aime la fière ardeur dont ton coeur sent la flamme Dans l'éclat du soleil qui luit; Et j'aime les pudeurs charmantes de ton âme Dans l'ombre chaste de la nuit. J'aime, dans le printeps qui verdit, la folie De ta jeunesse et ses espoirs; Et j'aime la douceur de ta mélancolie Dans le vague déclin des soirs!
