Rondeaux mignons

Language: French (Français)

  La rosée
S'envole et remonte aux cieux
Quand le soleil radieux
  L'a baisée.
Ainsi les pleurs de mes yeux
S'évaporent, quand tu veux,
  En rosée.

  Rossignol,
Ton doux chant sous la ramée
Semble la voix enrhumée
  De Guignol,
Lorsque de ma bien-aimée
Chante la voix parfumée,
  Rossignol.

  L'hirondelle
S'en revient quand le printemps
A chassé les noirs autans
  À coups d'aile.
Ainsi tes ris éclatants
Ramènent de mes vingt ans
  L'hirondelle.

  Mes amours
Sont comme un vin qui détone
Et fait craquer de l'automne
  Le velours.
Et je chante, et je festonne,
Et je ris, lorsque j'entonne
  Mes amours.
