Barcarolle
Le temps fuit et sans retour
Emporte nos tendresses,
Loin de cet heureux séjour
Le temps fuit sans retour.
Zéphyrs embrasés,
Versez-nous vos caresses,
Zéphyrs embrasés,
Donnez-nous vos baisers!
vos baisers! vos baisers! Ah!
Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour,
Souris à nos ivresses,
Nuit plus douce que le jour,
Ô belle nuit d'amour!
Ah! Souris à nos ivresses!
Nuit d'amour, ô nuit d'amour!
Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah!
Barcarolle
Time flees and does not return
Carries away our tenderness,
Far from this happy abode
Time flees without return.
Embraced zephyrs,
Shower us with your caresses,
Embraced zephyrs,
Give us your kisses!
Your kisses! Your kisses! Ah!
Beautiful night, oh night of love,
Smile at our intoxication,
Night sweeter than the day,
Oh beautiful night of love!
Ah! Smile at our intoxication!
Night of love, oh night of love!
Ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah! ah!
