Language: French (Français)
Available translation(s): ENG
Chantons, voici le temps des roses !
Voici la saison des amours!
Mai nous ramène les beaux jours
Et mille autres charmantes choses
Qui ne peuvent durer toujours !
Chantons, voici le temps des roses !
Rions! Voici le temps des roses !
Avec les belles sous les bois,
Allons courir, allons courir comme autrefois.
Aux doux parfums des fleurs mi-closes,
Mêlons nos rires et nos voix !
Rions, voici le temps des roses !
Aimons! Voici le temps des roses !
La beauté s'éveille au printemps.
Et tous les coeurs sont palpitants.
Pendant ces rapides instants,
Aimons, car c'est le temps des roses !

The season of roses
Language: English  after the French (Français)
Let us sing: Here is the season of roses!
Here is the season of love!
May brings back the fine days
And thousand of other charming things
That cannot last forever!
Let us sing: here's the season of roses!
Let us laugh! Here is the season of roses!
With our darlings, in the woods,
Let's go and run like in the old days.
To the soft scent of half-opened flowers,
Let's blend our voices and our laughter !
Let us laugh! Here is the season of roses!
Let's love! Here is the season of roses!
Beauty wakes up in the Spring.
And all hearts are quivering.
During those quick moments,
Let's love, for this is the season of roses!
