Nahandove Lyrics by Maurice Ravel

Chansons madécasses

1926

Le lit de feuilles est préparé;
Je l'ai parsemé de fleurs et d'herbes odoriférantes;
Il est digne de tes charmes
Nahandove, ô belle Nahandove!
Elle vient. J'ai reconnu la respiration
Précipitée que donne une marche rapide;
J'entends le froissement de la pagne qui l'enveloppe;
C'еst elle, c'est Nahandovе, la belle Nahandove!
Reprends haleine, ma jeune amie;
Repose-toi sur mes genoux
Que ton regard est enchanteur!
Que le mouvement de ton sein est vif et délicieux
Sous la main qui le presse! Tu souris
Nahandove, ô belle Nahandove!
Tes baisers pénètrent jusqu'à l'âme;
Tes caresses brûlent tous mes sens;
Arrête, ou je vais mourir
Meurt-on de volupté
Nahandove, ô belle Nahandove!
Le plaisir passe comme un éclair
Ta douce haleine s'affaiblit
Tes yeux humides se referment
Ta tête se penche mollement
Et tes transports s'éteignent dans la langueur
Jamais tu ne fus si belle
Nahandove, ô belle Nahandove!
Tu pars, et je vais languir dans les regrets et les désirs
Je languirai jusqu'au soir
Tu reviendras ce soir
Nahandove, ô belle Nahandove!
