L'enamouree Flashcards
Ils se disent, ma colombe
If they say my dove
Que tu reves morte encore
That although you are dead you still dream
Sous la pierre d’une tombe
beneath the headstone of a grae
Mais pour l’ame qui t’adore
but for the soul which adores you
Tu t’eveilles ranimee
you awaken reanimated
O pensive bien-aimee
oh thoughtful beloved
par les blanches nuits d’etoiles
through the sleepless star filled night
dans la brise qui murmure
in the breeze which murmurs
je caresse tes long voiles
I caress your long veils
Ta mouvante chevelure
Your flowing hair
Et tes ailes demi-closes
and you wings half closed
Qui voltigent sur les roses
which flutter among the roses
O delices je respire
oh delights I breathe in
Tes divines tresses blondes
your divine tresses blond
Ta voix pure, cette lyre
your voice pure this lyre
