Les Champs

Language: French (Français)

Rose partons; voici l'aurore:
Quitte des oreillers si doux.
Entends-tu la cloche sonore
Marquer l'heure du rendez-vous?
Cherchons, loin du bruit de la ville,
Pour le bonheur un sûr asile.

Viens aux champs couler d'heureux jours;
Les champs ont aussi leurs amours!

Viens aux champs fouler la verdure;
Donne le bras à ton amant;
Rapprochons-nous de la nature
Pour nous aimer plus tendrement.
Des oiseaux la troupe éveillée
Nous appelle sous la feuillée.

Viens aux champs couler d'heureux jours;
Les champs ont aussi leurs amours!

Allons visiter des rivages
Que tu croiras des bords lointains.
Je verrai sous d'épais ombrages
Tes pas devenir incertains.
 ... 

 ... 

 ... 
Rose, dérobons à l'envie
Le doux secret de notre vie.

Viens aux champs couler d'heureux jours;
Les champs ont aussi leurs amours!
