Au tic‑tac des castagnettes

Au tic-tac des castagnettes,
Au son du chalumeaux,
Chantez, dansez, fillettes,
Sous ces verts ormeaux.
Laissez dans la prairie
Vos brébis, vos moutons
Paître l'herbe fleurie
Et nos tendres gazons.
Berger, à ta bergère
Soupir ton amour,
Ici point de mystère,
On s'aime sans détour.
Et toi, gente Lisette,
Au si joli troupeau,
Ne t'en va pas seulette,
Il fait nuit sous l'ormeau.
