Oiseaux, si tous les ans

Language: French (Français)

Oiseaux, si tous les ans
Vous changez de climats,
Dès que le triste hiver
Dépouille nos bocages;
Ce n'est pas seulement
Pour changer de feuillages,
Ni pour éviter nos frimats;
Mais votre destinée
Ne vous permet d'aimer,
Qu'à la saison des fleurs.
Et quand elle est passée,
Vous la cherchez ailleurs,
Afin d'aimer toute l'année.

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the French (Français)

Gij vogels, die elk jaar
Ontvlucht weer ons klimaat
Zodra de winterkou
Ons struikgewas ontbladert;
Dat doe je niet alleen
Voor ‘t wiss’len van gebladert’,
Of omdat je kou niet doorstaat;
Maar door je vogelbrein
Kun je verliefd slechts zijn
In ‘t volle bloeiseizoen.
En als dat is voorbij,
Dan ga je ‘t elders doen,
Om heel het jaar verliefd te zijn.
