Bon Soir Dame

In a green wood close to our village A quiet pool lies still and deep The evening sounds and forest birds Have gently lulled my love to sleep CHORUS: Bonsoir Dame, Madame, Fais dodo (Good Evening Dear, My Dear, go to sleep) Bonsoir Dame, Madame, Fais dodo (Good Evening Dear, My Dear, go to sleep) Bonsoir Dame, Madame, Fais dodo (Good Evening Dear, My Dear, go to sleep) Bonsoir Dame, Madame, Fais dodo (Good Evening Dear, My Dear, go to sleep) Sing softly birds and don't awake her She doesn't know how my heart aches I've never dared to say "I love you" I'll tell her now, before she wakes CHORUS Her pretty mouth is warm and smiling She lies dreaming peacefully I'd give my life to know for certain That she would someday dream of me CHORUS BRIDGE: Fais dodo, petite fille (Go to sleep, little lady) Smile for me, dream of me It seems a pity now to wake her I'd rather stay here and pretend If we could only stay forever Then our dreams would never end CHORUS
