Le trésor du verger et le jardin en fête
Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG ENG GER GER
Le trésor du verger et le jardin en fête,
Les fleurs des champs, des bois,
Éclatent de plaisir, hélas ! et sur leur tête
Le vent enfle sa voix.
Mais toi, noble Océan, que l’assaut des tourmentes
Ne saurait ravager,
Certes, plus dignement, lorsque tu te lamentes,
Tu te prends à songer.

Lively air
Language: English  after the French (Français)
The treasure of the orchard and the festive garden,
the flowers of the fields and woodlands burst with pleasure,
alas! Alas! And above them the wind raises his voice.
But you, noble Ocean that the assault of storms
could not ravage,
certainly, with more dignity, once you lament,
you lose yourself in dreams.
