by Nikolai Dmitrievich Benardaki (1838 - 1909)

Chanson rococo
Language: French (Français) 
Oui, j'aime en vous ce franc sourire,
si doux, si frais, si caressant.
Et ce regard qui semble dire :
Je sais qu'on m'aime en me voyant.
Mais dans ce regard, qui m'enchante,
je n'aime pas voir le couroux ;
oui je vous aime, ma charmante,
mais je n'aime pas tout en vous.

Que j'aime en vous cette jeunesse,
qu'on voit éclater dans vos chants,
tout en vous n'est il point caresse,
folie, amour, grace et printemps.
De vos petits défauts méchante,
ah ! croyez moi corrigez vous,
car je vous aime, ma charmante,
et je veux tout aimer en vous !
