by Arthur Justin Léon Leclère (1874 - 1966), as Tristan Klingsor
La flûte enchantée
Language: French (Français)
L'ombre est douce et mon maître dort Coiffé d'un bonnet conique de soie Et son long nez jaune en sa barbe blanche. Mais moi, je suis éveillée encor Et j'écoute au dehors Une chanson de flûte où s'épanche Tour à tour la tristesse ou la joie. Un air tour à tour langoureux ou frivole Que mon amoureux chéri joue, Et quand je m'approche de la croisée Il me semble que chaque note s'envole De la flûte vers ma joue Comme un mystérieux baiser.
