Les Contes D'hoffmann - Barcarolle Belle Nuit Lyrics
Jacques Offenbach
Lyrics
Belle nuit
Oh nuit d'amour
Souris à nos ivresses
Nuit plus douce que le jour
Oh belle nuit d'amour
Le temps fuit et sans retour
Emporte nos tendresses
Loin de cet heureux séjour
Le temps fuit sans retour
Zéphyrs embrasés
Bercez-nous de vos caresses
Zéphyrs embrasés
Bercez-nous de vos caresses
Donnez-nous vos baisers
Bercez-nous
De vos baisers
Bercez-nous
De vos baisers
Belle nuit
Oh nuit d'amour
Souris à nos ivresses
Nuit plus douce que le jour
Oh belle nuit d'amour
Oh belle nuit d'amour
Souris à nos ivresses
Souris à nos ivresses
Nuit d'amour
Belle nuit
Oh belle nuit d'amour
