Dormez dormez
Lads Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dormez, dormez, coeurs insensibles
Qui ne chercher que la joie du jour
Les sommeils des pavots paisibles
Ne valent pas les veilles de l'amour
C'est Aurore, ma chre Aurore
Qui nuit et jour me fait gmir
Car quand on pense celles qu'on adore
Peut-on dormir

Ce dieu par de fleurs nouvelles
Va les rpandre sur ton sein
Sa voix fait attendrir les belles
Entends, entends, son doux refrain
C'est Aurore, ma chre Aurore
Qui nuit et jour me fait gmir
Car quand on pense celles qu'on adore
Peut-on dormir
Pour toi j'ai prolong ma veille
Aurore, Aurore, ah, rponds-moi
C'est le tendre amour qui m'veille,
il vole, il vole auprs de toi
C'est Aurore, ma chre Aurore
Qui nuit et jour me fait gmir

Car quand on pense celles qu'on adore
Peut-on dormir
