by Jean Bellon (1867 - 1914), as Jean Bénédict

Il a neigé des fleurs cette nuit
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Il a neigé des fleurs cette nuit;
Les sentiers et les allées
Disparaissent sous un blanc tapis
De corrolles envolées;
Il a neigé des fleurs, des fleurs de cerisier

Et tous ces blancs pétales,
Dispersées par la brise,
Exhalent à l'envoi, exhalent
Une odeur qui me grise.

Où l'ai-je respirée,
Mignonne, cette exquise Senteur?
Où l'ai-je respirée
Cette odeur qui me grise?

Il a neigé des fleurs cette nuit;
Les sentiers et les allées
Disparaissent sous un blanc tapis
De corrolles envolées;
Il a neigé des fleurs, des fleurs de cerisier.
