Les clochettes des muguets
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Les clochettes des muguets,
Frissonnantes sous la brise,
Carillonnent de légers,
Discrets et subtils parfums.
Je les écoute, un à un,
Doucement je les respire;
Ils ont l’arôme si fin
De ton éclatant sourire,
Ils ont l’éclat radieux
Et fleurant bon de tes yeux;
Les clochettes des muguets,
Frissonnantes sous la brise,
Carillonnent de legers,
Discrets et subtils parfums.

The little bells of the lily‑of‑the‑valley
Language: English  after the French (Français)
The little bells of the lily-of-the-valley,
quivering in the breeze,
chime peals of light,
discreet and subtle scents.
I listen to them, one by one,
softly I breathe them in;
they have the delicate aroma
of your beaming smile,
they have the radiant twinkle
and blossoming goodness of your eyes;
The little bells of the lily-of-the-valley,
quivering in the breeze,
chime peals of light,
discreet and subtle scents.
