Ce que dit le ruisseau
Language: French (Français) 
Je ris, je cours, je chante
Simple petit ruisseau
Et mon eau de sa voix frémissante
Jette dans les prés verts
Des concerts 
Dont l'oiseau se contente
Et qu'il redit dans ses amours
Toujour 
Partout 
Dans tout 
Pour tout
Toujours !

Dans mon lit qui serpente 
Je follàtre et ne sais 
Où je vais
Je ris, je cours, je chante
Je recueille et je sais
Les secrets 
Que la nature enfante
Lorsque vient le temps des amours
Oui ah !

Je ris, je cours, je chante, etc.

Je ris, je cours, je chante,
Mais Dieu seul le connait 
Le secret de ma course innocente
Je récolte, je prends
Et répands 
La vapeur enivrante
Qui s'exhale au temps des amours.

Je ris, je cours, je chante, etc.
