Text by Vicomte Victor Marie Hugo
Music by Franz Liszt
Oh! quand je dors, viens aupr
comme
Et qu'en pa**ant ton haleine me touche...
Soudain ma bouche
S'entr'ouvrira!
Sur mon front morne o
Un songe noir qui trop longtemps dura,
Que ton regard comme un astre se l
Soudain mon r
Rayonnera!
Rayonnera!
Puis sur ma l
Pose un baiser, et d'ange deviens femme...
Soudain mon
S'
S'
Oh viens, comme
Oh! When I Sleep
Oh, when I sleep, approach my bed,
as Laura appeared to Petrach;
and when in pa**ing, your breath touches me...
suddenly my lips
will part!
On my glum face, where perhaps is ending
a dark dream which lasted too long,
as your glance like a star arises...
suddenly my dream
will become radiant!
Then on my lips, where a flame is fluttering,
a flash of love that God has kept pure,
place a kiss, and from an angel, become a woman...
suddenly my soul
will be awakened!
Oh come, as to Petrarch appeared Laura!
