Emporte ma folie
Au gré du vent,
Fleur en chantant cueillie
Et jetée en rêvant,
- Emporte ma folie
Au gré du vent:
Comme la fleur fauchée
Périt l'amour:
La main qui t'a touchée
Fuit ma main sans retour.
- Comme la fleur fauchée
Périt l'amour.
Que le vent qui te sèche
O pauvre fleur,
Tout à l'heure si fraîche
Et demain sans couleur,
- Que le vent qui te sèche,
Sèche mon coeur!

帶走我的激情
順著風的願望
唱著歌 採著花朵
然後在睡夢中拋棄
帶走我的激情
順著風的願望
如同摘下的花朵
令愛情消逝
曾經撫摸過妳的那隻手
已永遠從我手邊溜走
如同摘下的花朵
令愛情消逝
讓風使妳枯萎 啊!可憐的花
前一刻還是那麼鮮美
然而明日即將褪色
讓風使妳枯乾 啊!可憐的花
讓風使妳枯萎
我心亦凋謝
