by Jean Pierre Claris de Florian (1755 - 1794)

Voici venir le doux printemps
Language: French (Français) 
Voici venir le doux printemps,
Allons danser sur la coudrette;
La nature a marqué ce temps
Pour que le plaisir eut sa fête ! la, la !

Ah ! craignons de perdre un seul jour
De la belle saison d'amour ! d'amour ! la, la, la, la !

De l'eau qui court sur les cailloux,
L'agréable et tendre murmure
Le bruit se léger et si doux
Du zéphir et de la verdure; la, la, la !

Tout nous dit: craignez de perdre un jour
De la belle saison d'amour, d'amour !

Craignons de perdre un seul jour
De la belle saison d'amour
Craignons de perdre un seul jour
De la belle saison d'amour
Craignons de perdre un seul jour
De la belle saison d'amour
