| Info: LYRICS: Je crois entendre encore, Caché sous les palmiers, Sa voix tendre et sonore Comme un chant de ramier! O nuit enchanteresse! Divin ravissement! O souvenir charmant! Folle ivresse! doux rêve! Aux clartés des étoiles, Je crois encore la voir, Entr’ouvrir ses longs voiles Aux vents tièdes du soir! O nuit enchanteresse! Divin ravissement! O souvenir charmant! Folle ivresse! doux rêve! Charmant souvenir! TRANSLATION: I still believe I hear hidden beneath the palm trees her voice, tender and deep like the song of a dove oh enchanting night divine rapture delightful memory mad intoxication, sweet dream. In the clear starlight I still believe I see her half drawing her long veil to the warm night breeze. Oh enchanting night divine rapture delightful memory mad intoxication, sweet dream. Charming memory. | |
