Je pense à toi, Quand à travers le bois Le rossignol Chante ses accords ! Quand penses-tu à moi ? Je pense à toi À la tombée Du crépuscule Près de la source ombragée ! Où penses-tu à moi ? Je pense à toi Avec une douce peine Avec une nostalgie anxieuse Et des chaudes larmes ! Comment penses-tu à moi ? Oh penses à moi Jusqu'à notre union Sur une meilleure étoile ! À toute distance Je ne pense qu'à toi !
