Crépuscule (Anonymous, set by C. Gounod) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Quand sur la colline,
Seul, je vais m'asseoir!
Quand le jour décline
Dans la paix du soir!
Dis! alors ne sais-tu pas?
Car mon coeur entend tout bas
Murmurer ta voix divine!

Loin de ton sourire
La douleur me suit!
Tout me semble dire:
Le bonheur te fuit!
Mais que ton regard charmant
Me caresse doucement,
Dans tes yeux mon âme expire!

Si tu m'es ravie,
Il me faut mourir!
Car sans toi, ma vie
N'est plus que souffrir!
Mais rêver et vivre à deux,
Ici-bas c'est vivre, au cieux!
Viens rêver, ma douce amie.
