You are purchasing high quality sheet music PDF files suitable for printing or viewing on digital devices.The original verses are given afterwards with a translation.
Literal translation (AJ):
(Chorus) How fleeting the hour Spent in loving! (2x)
It’s less than a moment, A little longer than a dream. Time takes away from us All our enchantments.
(Chorus)
[Tell me, sleeping Eve,] Did you really love me? Or was it only A little more than a dream?
(Chorus)
The original verses, instead of the verse in square brackets, are as follow: "Sous le flot dormant Soupirait la grève" "Under the sleeping waters The beach was sighing"
