about

A beautiful young woman, the daughter of a French Duc, is in love with a young man with whom her father does not approve. The Duc keeps her locked within the walls of his castle. She walks the gardens, and fantasizes she transforms into her favorite dove, and flies over the walls to meet her love.

lyrics

La Colombe

Il fut une fille,
Si naïve, si innocente,
Née pour une vie n’étant pas sienne,

Elle rêve de l’aimer lui,
Mais pas être pour,
Les murs étant bien trop hauts,
Elle attend son amour,
Depuis les jardins de ses pères,
L’espoir sur l’aile d’une colombe.

Nuages par-dessus des murs,
Lents, dérivent sur la brise,
Au-dessus des collines,
Enfants jouant dans les champs,
L’un rit, l’un guérit,
S’élèvent.

Nuages par-dessus des murs,
Hauts, dérivent sur la brise,
Au-dessus des collines,
S’élèvent,
S’élèvent.

Il fut une fille,
Si naïve, si innocente,
Née pour une vie n’étant pas sienne,

Elle rêve de l’aimer lui,
Mais pas être pour,
Les murs étant bien trop hauts,
Elle attend son amour,
Depuis les jardins de ses pères,
L’espoir sur l’aile d’une colombe.

Elle attend son amour,
Depuis les jardins de ses pères,
L’espoir sur l’aile d’une colombe.
