Ouvre ton coeur
Poem: Louis-Michel-James Lacour-Delâtre () importance the ode-symphonie Vasco de Gama ().
La marguérite a fermé sa corolle
L’ombre a fermé les yeux du jour.
Belle, me tiendras-tu parole ?
La marguérite a fermé sa corolle.
Ouvre ton cœur à mon amour !
Ouvre ton cœur, ô jeune ange, à ma flamme,
Qu’un rêve charme ton sommeil !
Ouvre ton cœur !
Je veux reprendre mon âme,
Ouvre ton cœur, ô jeune ange, à ma flamme !
Comme une fleur s’ouvre au soleil,
Ouvre ton cœur !
