Le matin
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Lorsque s'éveille le Matin Au Luxembourg encor désert, En chantant dans le gazon vert Les oiselets font leur festin. Les feuilles sont comme un satin Des larmes de la nuit couvert, Lorsque s'éveille le Matin Au Luxembourg encor désert. Le moineau du quartier Latin, Pour qui se donne le concert, A des miettes pour son dessert, Et folâtre comme un lutin Lorsque s'éveille le Matin.
