Chansons villageoises

Song Cycle by Arthur Justin Léon Leclère (1874 - 1966), as Tristan Klingsor

1. Sous la pluie
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Paysage ouaté, que tu étais joli
Sous la pluie;
La jument grise trottinait tranquillement
Et berçait ma mélancolie
Dans ce décor charmant.

La route s'en allait de colline en colline;
Tout s'estompait et dans le ciel gouaché
Le vieux village aimé dressait
La ligne fine de son clocher.

2. Ronde des Radis
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Des oignons, des radis, du céleri,
Bonjour Madame
Des oignons, des radis, du céleri,
Des radis roses, des radis gris,
Et des chardons pour votre âne;
Bonjour Madame,
Où est votre mari?

Et le merle que dit-il,
Dans sa cage de vieux fil
De fer,
Et la tourterelle blanche
Dans le bois de la pervenche
Et le loriot jaune en l'air,
Et le moineau sur la branche
Bonjour Madame,
Nous reviendrons dimanche.

Bonjour Madame,
Où est votre mari?
Il est dans son jardin qui cueille des radis,
L'oseille verdoyante, aussi la chicorée
Et les oignons qui font pleurer,
Et puis les courges dont on rit;
Mais le merle qu'a-t-il dit?

Bonjour Madame
Nous reviendrons jeudi.

3. Chanson de l'Oseille
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Voici déjà l'oseille écarlate
Ou quasi.
Ma tête est pleine de poèsie
Et ma bourse plate.

Rire chanson ni peine
Ne font grasse panse;
Jambon de Mayence
Vaut mieux que long poème.

Encore une saison révolue,
Encore un automne avec son pourpris,
Mais quoi, qu'en ai-je de plus?
Rien que cheveux gris.

4. La Truite
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Dimanche : le ciel est beau;
Jetons aux carpes la croûte
Et trempons du fil dans l'eau ;
Est-ce que la vie est si courte ?

Plus certes s'en moque le fou,
Que cette truite qui m'écoute,
Plus certes s'en moque le fou,
Mais vous ?
