L'automne

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: CHI ENG

Sois le bienvenu, rouge Automne.
Accours dans ton riche appareil,
Embrasse le coteau vermeil
Que la vigne pare et festonne.

Père, tu rempliras la tonne
Qui nous verse le doux sommeil;
Sois le bienvenu, rouge Automne,
Accours dans ton riche appareil.

Déjà la Nymphe qui s'étonne,
Blanche de la nuque à l'orteil,
Rit aux chants ivres de soleil
Que le gai vendangeur entonne,
Sois le bienvenu, rouge Automne.
