Des papillons de jour (Legrand, set by F. Lacerda) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


Des papillons de jour
S'envolent sur les vagues,
Mon coeur se meurt d'amour
Depuis que j'ai sa bague.

S'envolent sur les vagues
De sinistres corbeaux,
Depuis que j'ai sa bague,
Je rêve de tombeaux.

De sinistres corbeaux
Là bas, le vol essaime
Jái rêvé, de tombeaux.
Reviens, ô toi que j'aime

Là bas le vol essaime
Des papillons de jour...
Reviens ô toi que j'aime!
Mon coeur se meurt d'amour.
