À Colombine
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): GER
Colombine charmante, C'est pour toi que je chante, Réponds à ma voix. La brise caressante Court les monts, les monts et les bois! C'est l'heure bien heureuse Que j'attendais, blonde amoureuse. Veux-tu pas, curieuse, Partager mon ivresse et m'imposer tes lois? Mais en vain je t'appelle, Ma nuit finira t'elle, Ainsi, sottement! Et te plais-tu, cruelle A railler, railler, mon tourment? Je ne suis pas Léandre mon cœur plus vif est las d'attendre... Si tu dors sans m'entendre, Si tu dors, tu vas voir que l'amour, que l'amour peut venir en dormant !
