Our translations: DUT
Déjà l'alouette a pris son vol Et célèbre la liberté ! Son chant perlé descend vers le sol, Y sème la gaîté. Le rossignol, gai poète des bois, Dès l'aube, va, nomade, Chanter au nids, A pleine voix Sa folle sérénade. Chantez, Chantez, oiseaux, Pour l'été sá mis en grande toilette, Chantez les fleurs, la liberté Chantez, les fleurs, Gai rossignol. Folle alouette. Chantez oiseaux, pour vous l'été S'est mis en grande toilette, Chantez les fleurs, la liberté, Les fleurs, la liberté !
