5. La Jeune Fille à la cigale
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Lançant ta note estivale
Chante, ma cigale !
Je suis ta sœur, ô cigale
Quand je cours d'un pied ailé
Par mon élan je t'égale
Et semble voler
Ainse que toi, poëtesse
Des blés dorés et vermeils,
J'ai chanté dès ma jeunesse
Mon hymne au soleil !
Comme toi je suis sauvage ;
Mais un pâtre qui m'aimait
M'a saisie et mise en cage
Un matin de mai.
Lançant ta note estivale,
Chante, ma cigale !
Doucement il m'a surprise,
Là-bas, derrière un buisson
En écoutant dans la brise
Frémir ma chanson !
Et je lui donnai mon âme
Qu'embrasait
Aphrodité,
Comme te brûle la flamme
Du soleil d'été !
Tu t'abreuves de rosée,
O cigale, au point du jour :
Ma lèvre qu'il a baisée
Se nourit d'amour.
