Isn't it perfection?

"Reviens, reviens, ma bien-aimée!
Comme une fleur loin du soleil
La fleur de ma vie est fermée
Loin de ton sourire vermeil.

Entre nos cœurs quelle distance!
Tant despace entre nos baisers!
Ô sort amer! Ô dure absence!
Ô grands désirs inapaisés!

Reviens, reviens, ma bien-aimée, etc.

Dici là-bas, que de campagnes,
Que de villes et de hameaux,
Que de vallons et de montagnes,
A lasser le pied des chevaux!

Reviens, reviens, ma bien-aimée, etc."

  • It is. Bises à toi, pas tout à fait absent.

  • My heart-felt thanks to PopoliDiTessalia, both for the video of a singer who has set the highest standard for this masterpiece, yet to be equaled, and for the printing of the lyrics.
