Il est un jardin d'amour, Il est un jardin ; Le printemps y tient sa cour Il y fleurit de jasmin ; L'air argenté du matin Danse tout autour. Il est un ruisseau d'amour, Il est un ruisseau ; Et le bon frais, où son cours S'alanguit sous les ormeaux, C'est le pays des oiseaux Et des troubadours. Il est un baiser d'amour, Il est un baiser ! Belle au yeux couleur du jour Dis-moi, n'a-t-il pas osé Faire à ton menton rosé, Faire un brin de cour ?
