| Oh! |
| quand je dors, viens aupr
|
| comme
|
| Et qu’en passant ton haleine me touche…
|
| Soudain ma bouche
|
| S’entr’ouvrira!
|
| Sur mon front morne o Un songe noir qui trop longtemps dura,
|
| Que ton regard comme un astre se l Soudain mon r Rayonnera!
|
| Rayonnera!
|
| Puis sur ma l Pose un baiser, et d’ange deviens femme…
|
| Soudain mon
|
| Oh viens, comme
|
| Oh! |
| When I Sleep
|
| Oh, when I sleep, approach my bed,
|
| as Laura appeared to Petrach;
|
| and when in passing, your breath touches me…
|
| suddenly my lips
|
| will part!
|
| On my glum face, where perhaps is ending
|
| a dark dream which lasted too long,
|
| as your glance like a star arises…
|
| suddenly my dream
|
| will become radiant!
|
| Then on my lips, where a flame is fluttering,
|
| a flash of love that God has kept pure,
|
| place a kiss, and from an angel, become a woman…
|
| suddenly my soul
|
| will be awakened!
|
| Oh come, as to Petrarch appeared Laura! |
