Te voilà, rire du Printemps ! Les thyrses des lilas fleurissent. Les amantes, qui te chérissent Délivrent leurs cheveux flottants. Sous les rayons d'or éclatants Les anciens lierres se flétrissent. Te voilà, rire du Printemps ! Les thyrses des lilas fleurissent. Couchons-nous au bord des étangs, Que nos maux amers se guérissent ! Mille espoirs fabuleux nourrissent Nos cœurs [émus]1 et palpitants. Te voilà, rire du Printemps !

Trittst ein mit Lachen ins Jahr! Der Flieder blüht doldenschwer. Die Liebenden lieben dich sehr und lösen ihr fließendes Haar. Goldglänzender Strahlen Schar bedrängt alten Efeu sehr. Trittst ein mit Lachen ins Jahr! Der Flieder blüht doldenschwer. Komm, sind wir am Weiher ein Paar, dass flieht alle Qual und Beschwer! Dass Hoffnungen kühn und hehr unser pochendes Herz erfahr. Trittst ein mit Lachen ins Jahr!
