from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

La belle est au jardin d'amour
Language: French (Français) 
La belle est au jardin d'amour,
La belle est au jardin d'amour.
Il y a un mois ou cinq semaines.
Laridondon, laridondaine.

Son père la cherche partout,
Son père la cherche partout.
Son amoureux qui est en peine.
Laridondon, laridondaine.

"Berger berger, n'as tu point vu,
Berger, berger, n'as tu point vu.
Passer ici celle que j'aime?"
Laridondon, laridondaine.

"Elle est là-bas dans ce vallon,
Elle est là-bas dans ce vallon,
A un oiseau conte ses peines."
Laridondon, landondaine.

Le bel oiseau s'est envolé,
Le bel oiseau s'est envolé,
Et le chagrin bien loin emmène.
Laridondon, laridondaine.
