by Édouard Guinand (1838 - 1909)

Sérénade Sévillane
Language: French (Français) 
Sur les bords du Guadalquivir
J’errais un jour l’âme éperdue,
J’avais résolu de mourir,
Lorsque vous m’êtes apparue,
Sur les bords du Guadalquivir !

Sur les bords du Guadalquivir !
La paix à mon Coeur fut rendue,
Alors je cessai de souffrir,
Dès l’instant que je vous ai bue,
Sur les bords du Guadalquivir !

Je retourne au Guadalquivir
Après que je vous ai connue,
S’il me faut à jamais vous fuir,
À ses flots ma dépouille est vue,
Je retourne au Guadalquivir !
