FRENCH TEXT:
Oh ! quand je dors, viens auprès de ma couche,
Comme à Pétrarque apparaissait Laura,
Et qu’en passant ton haleine me touche …
Soudain ma bouche
S’entr’ouvrira !
Sur mon front morne où peut-être s’achève
Un songe noir qui trop longtemps dura,
Que ton regard comme un astre se lève …
Et soudain mon rêve
Rayonnera !
Rayonnera !
Puis sur ma lèvre où voltige une flamme,
Éclair d’amour que Dieu même épura,
Pose un baiser, et d’ange deviens femme …
Soudain mon âme
S’éveillera !
S’éveillera !
Oh, viens !
Comme à Patraque apparaissait Laura !

ENGLISH TEXT:
Oh! When I sleep, come close to where I lie,
As Laura once appeared to Petrarch,
And let your breath in passing touch me…
At once, my lips will part!
On my sombre brow,
Where a dismal dream that lasted too long,
Now, perhaps, is ending;
Let your countenance rise like a star…
At once, my dream will shine!
Then on my lips, where a flame flickers -
A flash of love which God
Himself has purified -
Place a kiss and be transformed from angel into woman…
At once, my soul will wake!
Oh, come! As Laura once appeared to Patraque!
