Zéphyr

Debussy, Claude

Si j'étais le Zéphyr ailé,

Were I the winged Zephyr,

J'irais mourir sur votre bouche.

I would fly to your lips and die.

Ces voiles, j'en aurais la clé,

I would possess the key to these veils,

Si j'étais le Zéphyr ailé.

Were I the winged Zephyr.

Près des seins, pour qui je brûlais,

I would slide into your bed,

Je me glisserais dans la couche.

Nestling against the breasts that inflame me.

Si j'étais le Zéphyr ailé,

Were I the winged Zephyr,

J'irais mourir sur votre bouche.

I would fly to your lips and die.
