Available translation(s): ENG
Sur le flot des rêves, Loin des grèves, Dieu des amours Berce nos beaux jours! Brise pure, Ton murmure, Dans la nuit s'envole et fuit. Ah! L'hirondelle D'un coup d'aile Rase l'eau sans bruit. Sur le flot des rêves, etc. Le ciel même Quand on aime, Sans effort Vous guide au port. Ah! Et la vie Vous convie De braver le sort. Sur le flot des rêves, etc.
