Le hanneton
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hanneton, qui sur tes ailes
Nous amènes le printemps, 
C'est toi qui sais des nouvelles 
Du muguet et du beau temps. 
              Dis-nous si les prés
              De fleurs sont parés;
              Dis-nous si les bois 
              Ont repris leur voix; 
              Dis si les oiseaux 
              Ont des chants nouveaux,
              Si le rossignol
              Dit: «Fa, ré, mi, sol!»

Viens, apporte dans la ville 
Tes joyeux bourdonnements; 
 étourdi, sois tranquille,
Va, ne crains rien des enfants.
              Car j'ai respecté 
              Ton jour de gaîté;
              J'ai tant de plaisir 
              A pouvoir courir! 
              Vole en tournoyant.
              Vole en bourdonnant, 
              Vole en rayonnant 
              Au soleil couchant. 
Hanneton, qui sur tes ailes 
Amènes le printemps.
