La Chanson des Lavandieres
Language:
French
À quoi bon entendre
Les oiseaux des bois?
L'oiseau le plus tendre
Chante dans ta voix.
Que Dieu montre ou voile
Les astres des cieux!
La plus pure étoile
Brille dans tes yeux.
Qu'avril renouvelle
Le jardin en fleur!
La fleur la plus belle
Fleurit dans ton coeur.
Cet [oiseau]1 de flamme,
Cet astre du jour,
Cette fleur de l'âme,
S'appelle l'amour!
