by Jules Gustave Adolphe Chantepie (d. 1885)

Dors, ami
Language: French (Français) 
Dors, ami, dors et que les songes
T'apportent leurs riants mensonges,
Dors, ami, dors et que les songes

T'apportent leurs mensonges
Et te bercent de doux accords
Dors, ami, dors ô mon seul ami...

Tandis que tu reposes,
D'un soleil radieux
Les rayons blancs et roses

Semblent se jouer sur tes yeux...
Non ! la clarté qui dore,
Ton front calme et vermeil,

Ne saurait être encore
Celle de ton dernier soleil !...
Non ! ce n'est pas ton dernier soleil...

T'apportent leurs mensonges
Et te bercent de doux accords
Dors, ami, dors ô mon seul ami !
