Your rating:
Sleep ye, Sleep
Sleep ye, sleep, o insensible hearts Who seek but the joys of daytime The sleep of peaceful poppies Are not worth the vigils of love It's Aurore, my dear Aurore That night and day just makes me moan For when you think of those you love, How can you sleep ? This god adorned with fresh-picked flowers Will spread them across your chest His voice makes the beautiful ones tender Hear, Hear his sweet refrain It's Aurore, my dear Aurore That night and day just makes me groan For when one thinks of those one loves, One may sleep For you I've prolonged my vigil Aurore, Aurore, o answer me It's tender love that awakens me It flies, it flies to be near to you It's Aurore, my dear Aurore That night and day just makes me moan For when you think of those you love, How can you sleep ?
dormez, dormez
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 chère Aurore Qui nuit et jour me fait gémir Car quand on pense à celles qu'on adore Peut-on dormir Ce dieu paré de fleurs nouvelles Va les répandre sur ton sein Sa voix fait attendrir les belles Entends, entends, son doux refrain C'est Aurore, ma chère Aurore Qui nuit et jour me fait gémir Car quand on pense à celles qu'on adore Peut-on dormir Pour toi j'ai prolongé ma veille Aurore, Aurore, ah, réponds-moi C'est le tendre amour qui m'éveille, il vole, il vole auprès de toi C'est Aurore, ma chère Aurore Qui nuit et jour me fait gémir Car quand on pense à celles qu'on adore Peut-on dormir (c) music: laïs / words: trad.
