Au Matin
 (Sung text for setting by G. Strong)
 See base text
Language: French (Français) 
Au matin se sont rassemblés,
Trois petits oiseaux dans les blés.
Ils avaient tant à se dire
Qu’ils parlaient tous à la fois,
Et chacun forçait sa voix.
Ça faisait un tire lire,
Tire lire la ou la.
Un vieux pommier planté là
A trouvé si gai cela
Qu’il s’en est tordu de rire,
A midi se sont regales
Trois petits oiseaux dans les blés.
 ...
