Le Retour
Language: French (Français) 
Ne pleurons plus sur ma Patrie,
Elle est rendue à mon amour.
Grâce au Ciel ma voix attendrie
Dira bientôt l’heureux chant du retour.
Ah ! Déposons sur la rive étrangère
De mes malheurs le pénible fardeau.
Je vais revoir le toit de ma chaumière,
Je vais toucher le sol de mon hameau.

Voilà le banc et le vieux chêne
Témoins de mes premiers amours.
Voici la limpide fontaine
Qui fécondait mon verger dans son cours.
Noirs souvenirs de ma longue misère
N’attristez pas de mes jours le plus beau.
Fuyez toujours le toit de ma chaumière,
Fuyez toujours le sol de mon hameau.
