by Augusta Mary Anne Holmès (1847 - 1903)

Rêverie
Language: French (Français) 
« La plaine et ses fleurs, la mer et ses vagues,
La source qui brille au déclin du jour,
Et l'immense nuit aux étoiles vagues,
Je donnerais tout pour un mot d'amour ! »
Ah ! « Istambouli ! »
J'ai le mal du pays, du pays que j'ignore !
Ah ! « Istambouli ! »
Qui donc m'emportera
Vers l'azur et l'aurore !
« Le ciel des Houris où l'âme est ravie,
Mon sauvage cœur que l'on peu briser,
Ma joie et mes pleurs, mon sang et ma vie,
Je donnerais tout pour un seul baiser !
Ah ! « Istambouli ! »
J'ai le mal du pays, du pays que j'ignore !
Qui donc m'emportera
Vers l'azur et l'aurore !
