4. Les Roses  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Je ne connais rien, ici-bas, de plus précieux que les
  roses : c'est un parfum du ciel qui fleurit sur la
  terre. 
Dis-moi, marchand de roses, pourquoi vends-tu

Pour gagner de l'argent ? Mais avec l'argent de tes
  roses, 
Que pourrais-tu bien acheter qui soit aussi précieux 
  que des roses ?
