Oiseaux, si tous les ans

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: DUT ENG GRE ITA SPA

Oiseaux, si tous les ans
Vous [changez de]¹ climats,
Dès que le triste hiver
Dépouille nos bocages;
Ce n'est pas seulement
Pour changer de feuillages,
[Ni]² pour éviter nos frimats;
Mais votre destinée
Ne vous permet d'aimer,
Qu'à la saison des fleurs.
Et quand elle est passée,
Vous la cherchez ailleurs,
Afin d'aimer toute l'année.

Uccelli, se sempre ogni anno

Language: Italian (Italiano) after the French (Français)

Uccelli se sempre ogni anno
i nostri climi lasciate,
non appena l'inverno triste
i nostri alberi spoglia,
non è soltanto perché
ormai cadono tutte le foglie,
o per evitare le gelate.
E' perché il vostro destino
non vi permette di amare
che nella stagione dei fiori.
E quando quella è ormai passata
altrove voi la cercate,
per poter amare tutto l'anno.
