Reposez-vous, les belles fleurs, Dormez, Dormez Les bruits des bois déjà se taisent Dormez, Dormez ! La nuit va ternir vos couleurs. Le soir descends La nuit va ternir vos couleurs Au vent du soir La nuit va ternir vos couleurs Les nids se taisent Reposez-vous, les belles fleurs Dormez, Dormez ! L'astre d'argent veille sur vous, Dormez, Dormez ! Demain vous brillerez encor, Dormez, Dormez ! Le rossignol au chant si doux Viendra chanter de vos cœurs Chassez les pleurs Le rossignol au chant si doux Viendra chanter avec l'aurore Viendra chanter avec l'aurore Reposez-vous les belles fleurs ! Dormez, Dormez !
