This beautiful song is much, much older than I thought. In fact, it’s a classical French love song written in 1784 by Jean-Paul -Egide Martini with lyrics by Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian. Even if you are not going to download the TAB, listen to the video of Nana Mouskouri singing it in 1971. You wont regret it. I have included an English Translation of the lyrics at the end of the TAB
