Deux ancolies
 (Sung text for setting by L. Boulanger)
 Matches original text
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Deux ancolies se balançaient sur la colline
Et l'ancolie disait à sa sœur l'ancolie :
Je tremble devant toi et demeure confuse.
Et l'autre répondait : si dans la roche qu'use
l'eau, goutte à goutte, si je me mire, je vois
que je tremble, et je suis confuse comme toi.

Le vent de plus en plus les berçait toutes deux,
les emplissait d'amour et mêlait leurs cœurs bleus.
