La rosée/ S'envole et remonte aux cieux

  La rosée
S'envole et remonte aux cieux
Quand le soleil radieux
  L'a baisée.
Ainsi les pleurs de mes yeux
S'évaporent, quand tu veux,
  [La]1 rosée.

  Rossignol,
Ton doux chant sous la ramée
Semble la voix enrhumée
  De Guignol,
Lorsque de ma bien-aimée
Chante la voix parfumée,
  Rossignol.

  L'hirondelle
S'en revient quand le printemps
A chassé les noirs autans
  À coups d'aile.
Ainsi tes ris éclatants
Ramènent de mes vingt ans
  L'hirondelle.

  Mes amours
Sont comme un vin qui détone
Et fait craquer de l'automne
  Le velours.
Et je chante, et je festonne,
Et je ris, lorsque j'entonne
  Mes amours.

Rondeaux graziosi

La rugiada
S'invola e risale al cielo
Quando il sole radioso
L'ha baciata
Così le lacrime dai miei occhi
Evaporano, quando tu vuoi,
La rugiada.

Usignolo
Il tuo dolce canto sotto la rami
Sembra la voce arrocchita
Del pagliaccio.
Quando canta la voce profumata
Della mia amata,
Usignolo.

La rondine
Se ne ritorna quando la primavera
Ha cacciato i bui giorni passati
A colpi d'ala.
Così il tuo riso scintillante
Mi riporta ai miei vent'anni
La rondine.

Miei amori
Come un vino che va a male
E che fa scricchiolare il velluto
Dell'autunno
E io canto, e io vago ebbro,
E io rido, quando intono il canto
Dei miei amori.
