Je Veux Vivre

I want to live
In this dream that intoxicates me
This day again,
Sweet flame
I keep you in my soul
Like a treasure!
I want to live, etc.
This intoxication of youth
Lasts, alas! only one day!
Then comes the time
When one cries.
Far from the gloomy winter
Let me, let me slumber
And breathe the rose,
Before plucking its petals.
Ah! - Ah! - Ah!
Sweet flame!
Stay in my soul
Like a sweet treasure
For a long time.
Ah! - Like a treasure
For a long time.
