Pourquoi Me Revéiller

All my soul is there!

Why do you wake me up
O breath of spring?
On my forehead I feel your caresses
And yet close is the time
Of storms and sadness!
Why do you wake me up
O breath of spring?

Tomorrow, in the valley
Will come the traveler
Remembering my former glory
And his eyes in vain
Will seek my splendor
They will find no more
But mourning and misery! Alas!
Why do you wake me up
O breath of spring?
