by Émile Richebourg (1833 - 1898)

Beau rossignol
Language: French (Français) 
Beau rossignol, j'entends ta voix,
Des nuits tu charmes toujours le silence;
Dis-moi, dis-moi ta gentille romance;
Que répète, que répète l'écho des bois.

Sous les ombrages, 
Aux verts feuillages,
Que vos ramages 
Sont doux, sont doux pour moi!

Quitant la terre, mon âme entière 
Monte enprière,
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, vers toi!

Dans nos jardins, dès le printemps, 
Ta voix si douce vient nous distraire;
Elle saura toujours nous plaire;
Beau rossignol, chante,
Ah! chante longtemps!

Sous les ombrages,
Aux verts feuillages,
Que vos ramages 
Sont doux, sont doux pour moi!

Quittant la terre,
Mon âme entière 
Monte en prière,
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu vers toi;

Quittant la  terre,
Mon âme entière 
Monte en prière,
Mon Dieu, mon Dieu vers toi!
