V'la que l'aloueutte chante
Language: Bourguignon
V'la que l'alouette chante, Et le rossignol Qu'on rie et plaisante Par ce beau soleil ! La terre est fleurie ; La table est garnie ; Et disons tretous, Vive Mai, garçons ! Rien n'ai l'humeur noire : On voit tout partout Abeille, cancoire, Bourdon, papillon Tout y voltige, Et tout y bourdonne, Quand luit le soleil, Au mois de Mai, garçons !
