Berceuse (Chouquet, set by J. Massenet) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Enfant, rose,
Fleur éclose,
Fleur éclose au soleil de mes vingt ans;
Ton sourire
Que j'admire,
Ton sourire est plus frais qu'un jour de printemps!

De ta mère,
Pour me plaire,
Montre-moi lex yeux si doux!
Ma fillette
Joliette,
Ma fillette, endors-toi sur mes genoux!

Dieu te donne, Mignonne,
Dieu te donne un bonheur fait de longs jours!
Dors ma fille,
Si gentille,
Dors en paix, mon bel ange, endors-toi mes amours!
Dors!
