Dormez

Language: French (Français) after the English

Our translations: DUT

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 !

Slaap

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

Rust maar uit, mooie bloemen,
Slaap, slaap!
't Geruis van 't bos neemt al af
Slaap, slaap!
De nacht doet je kleur tanen
De avond valt
De nacht doet je kleur tanen
In de avondsbries
De nacht doet je kleur tanen 
De nesten worden stil.

Rust maar uit, mooie bloemen
Slaap, slaap!
De zilv'ren ster waakt over u,
Slaap, Slaap!
Morgen zul je weer stralen,
Slaap, slaap!

De nachtigaal met zijn lieve lied
zal over jullie hart zingen
De tranen verdrijven
De nachtigaal met zijn lieve lied
zal zingen bij het ochtendgloren
zal zingen bij het ochtendgloren.

Rust maar uit, mooie bloemen!
Slaap, slaap!
