Bel aubépin
 (Sung text for setting by J. Leguerney)
 See original
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Bel aubépin, verdissant, 
  Fleurissant 
Le long de ce beau rivage, 
Tu es vêtu jusqu'au bas 
  De tes bras 
D'une lambruche sauvage. 

 ... 

Le gentil rossignolet 
Nouvelet, 
Avecque sa bien-aimée, 
Pour ses amours alléger 
Vient loger 
Tous les ans en ta ramée. 

 ... 

Or vis, gentil aubépin, 
Vis sans fin, 
Vis sans que jamais tonnerre, 
Ou la cognée, ou les vents, 
Ou les temps
Te puissent ruer par terre.

Note: in stanza 1, line 4, word 5 has the typo "bras" instead of "bas" in Janequin's score.
