... Je veux chanter encore Ma joie et mes ennuis ; Je chante avec l'aurore, Je chante avec les nuits. Je défie et méprise Fauvettes et pinsons, Et la mort seule épuise Mon cœur et mes chansons. Dans un buisson de roses Mon nid fut bien caché ; Mais, sous les fleurs écloses, Amour m'a déniché. ... J'aime une fleur nouvelle, La rose qui m'entend ; J'aime, et je veux, près d'elle, Expirer en chantant.

... I want to sing again My joy and my problems; I sing with the dawn, I sing with the night. I defy and despise warblers and finches; and only death can extinguish my heart and my songs. In a rosebush my nest was well-hidden; but beneath the blossoming flowers Love discovered me. ... I love a new flower, the rose that listens to me; I love it and, close to it, I want to die while singing.
