Language: French (Français) after the English

Our translations: DUT

Blancs papillons,
Messagers du printemps
Murmurent les roses nouvelles
Murmurent les roses nouvelles.
En ivrez-vous de nos parfums troublants,
Nous sommes les plus belles !
 
Les autres fleurs au cœur jaloux,
Vous font leur plus doux sourire.
» Jolis papillons venez près de nous «
Disent les fleurs en leur délire.
 
Blancs papillons, messagers du printemps,
» Venez ! Ah ! venez près de nous «
Disent les fleurs,
En leur délire.
Disent les fleurs.

Witte vlinders

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the French (Français)

Witte vlinders,
boodschappers van de lente,
fluisteren de nieuwe rozen
fluisteren de nieuwe rozen.
Raak in een roes door onze rozige geuren
Wij zijn de mooisten!

De andere bloemen met jaloerse harten,
geven jullie de zoetste glimlach.
"Leuke vlinders, kom dicht bij ons"
zeggen de bloemen in vervoering.

Witte vlinders, boodschappers van de lente,
"Kom! Ah! Kom dicht bij ons"
zeggen de bloemen,
in vervoering.
Zeggen de bloemen.
