Je veux vivre
Dans ce rêve qui m'enivre
Ce jour encore,
Douce flamme
Je te garde dans mon âme
Comme un trésor!
Je veux vivre, etc.
Cette ivresse de jeunesse
Ne dure, hêlas! qu'un jour!
Puis vient l'heure
Où l'on pleure.
Loin de l'hiver morose
Laisse moi, laisse moi sommeiller
Et respirer la rose,
Avant de l'effeuiller.
Ah! - Ah! - Ah!
Douce flamme!
Reste dans mon âme
Comme un doux trésor
Longtemps encore.
Ah! - Comme un trésor
Longtemps encore.
