Wenn sanft du mir im Arme schliefst, ich deinen Atem hören konnte, im Traum du meinen Namen riefst, um deinen Mund ein Lächeln sonnte - Glückes genug. Und wenn nach heißem, ernstem Tag du mir verscheuchtest schwere Sorgen, wenn ich an deinem Herzen lag und nicht mehr dachte an ein Morgen - Glückes genug.

Quand tu dormais doucement dans mes bras, Je pouvais entendre ton souffle, Tu criais mon nom dans ton rêve, Un sourire éclairait ta bouche ; Bonheur sublime. Et après d'une chaude et sérieuse journée, Quand tu éloignais de moi les graves soucis, Quand je m'allongeais contre ton cœur Et ne pensais plus au lendemain ; Bonheur sublime.
