Les hirondelles (L'Hotelier, set by F. David) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Voltigez hirondelles,
Voltigez près de moi,
Et reposez vos ailes
Au faîte des tourelles,
Sans effroi.

Voltigez, gracieuses,
Et fredonnant l'amour;
Que vos plumes soyeuses
Touchent, mysterieuses,
Mon séjour.

Voltigez, je regarde
Votre petit bec noir
Suspendre à ma mansarde
Votre nid qui me garde
Chaque soir.

Voltigez, hirondelles,
Voltigez près de moi...
