Scirocco
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
Pauvre enfant! ah! comme le vent souffle du midi, pauvre enfant! Et tes yeux, ton sein, ton âme brûlent d'une ardente flamme; et ton front qui tombe, au sommeil succombe. Pauvre enfant! ah! comme le vent souffle du midi, pauvre enfant! Viens, amour, viens donc, vole promptement car c'est le moment, ah! comme le vent souffle du midi, viens, amour, viens donc, pauvre enfant! Viens, amour, viens donc! Viens, l'air est brûlant.
