Oh! Quand Je Dors Lyrics

Text by Vicomte Victor Marie Hugo
Music by Franz Liszt

Oh! quand je dors, viens auprރ¨s de ma couche,
comme ÞÆ’ PÞÆ’©trarque apparaissait Laura,
Et qu'en passant ton haleine me touche...
Soudain ma bouche
S'entr'ouvrira!

Sur mon front morne oރ¹ peut-ރªtre s'achރ¨ve
Un songe noir qui trop longtemps dura,
Que ton regard comme un astre se lރ¨ve...
Soudain mon rރªve
Rayonnera!
Rayonnera!

Puis sur ma lރ¨vre oރ¹ voltige une flamme,
ÞÆ’ clair d'amour que Dieu mރªme ÞÆ’©pura,
Pose un baiser, et d'ange deviens femme...
Soudain mon ÞÆ’¢me
S'ÞÆ’©veillera!
S'ÞÆ’©veillera!

Oh viens, comme ÞÆ’ PÞÆ’©trarque apparaissait Laura!

Oh! When I Sleep

Oh, when I sleep, approach my bed,
as Laura appeared to Petrach;
and when in passing, 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!
