Rossignol de Mes Amours

Once upon a time, there was a king's daughter
With a heart full of sadness
Locked up day and night
At the top of a tower
She cried all the time
One day, taking to the sky,
A kind nightingale
Came to tell the princess
"I bring you hope"
And it’s to see him again
That she sang at night

{Chorus:}
Nightingale, nightingale of my loves,
As soon as midnight strikes,
When the moon shines bright,
Come sing beneath my window
Nightingale, nightingale of my loves,
When your song rises high,
My sorrow will fly away
And love might come, maybe.
Tonight, beneath my window
Come back, sweet nightingale

The nightingale returned, landed
On the hand of the lovely princess
She stroked him then kissed him
And he transformed
Into a charming prince
Who became the suitor
Of his pretty mistress
And that’s why since then
The girls of the land
Sing every night

{to Chorus}

Nightingale, nightingale!
