L'aube tombe
 (Sung text for setting by A. Choudens)
 Matches base text
Language: French (Français) 
L'aube tombe et frissonne 
Sur les gazons mouillés:
De la fraîcheur, Mignonne, 
Gardez vos petits pieds.

Comme vous m'oubliez, 
C'est l'angélus qui sonne.
Plus tôt vous rentriez
Lorsque vous m'étiez bonne.

Vous aimiez tant les fleurs!
Celle-ci de mes pleurs
Brillent, je vous les donne.

Mais si vous les fouliez
De la fraîcheur Mignonne,
Gardez vos petits pieds.
