Sérénade
Language: French (Français) 
La brise est pure
Aux soirs d'été 
J'ai l'a venture 
Pour me guider 
Dans la nuit claire
Que j'aime a voir 
Une lumière 
Faite d'espoir 
La maisonnette 
Où mon œil guette 
Doit abriter 
Une brunette 
Une beauté 
Chère lumière 
Veille en la nuit
Pour que j'espère
Tout ébloui 
Au clair de lune
Un troubadour
Pour une brune 
Chante l'amour

Refrain
A ta fenêtre 
Daigne paraitre 
En souriant
Tes yeux sont maîtres 
D'un cœur aimant
Toi si jolie 
0 douce amie 
Viens me charmer
Toute ma vie 
Je veux t'aimer.

Pour le doux charme 
De tes yeux d'or 
Faut- il des larmes 
Ou des trésors 
Pour ta caresse 
Faut-il ruser 
Volant l'ivresse 
D'un fou baiser 
Faut-il coquette 
Que je te guette 
Pour t'emporter 
Perdant la tête 
De volupté 
J'espère et pleure 
Et te chéris
En ta demeure 
Toi tu t'en ris 
Dans ma démence
Plus près de toi
Que ma romance 
Gagne ta foi

Refrain
A ta fenêtre
