Crépuscule
Language: French (Français)
Quand sur la colline, Seul, je vais m'asseoir! Quand le jour décline Dans la paix du soir! Dis! alors ne sais-tu pas? Car mon coeur entend tout bas Murmurer ta voix divine! Loin de ton sourire La douleur me suit! Tout me semble dire: Le bonheur te fuit! Mais que ton regard charmant Me caresse doucement, Dans tes yeux mon âme expire! Si tu m'es ravie, Il me faut mourir! Car sans toi, ma vie N'est plus que souffrir! Mais rêver et vivre à deux, Ici-bas c'est vivre, au cieux! Viens rêver, ma douce amie.
