Les lilas sont en folie, Cache cache Et les roses song jolies, Cachez-vous. Tirez les rideaux, tirez les rideaux ! Et sous les vertes feuilles Cachez-vous ! Lilas et rosiers la belle, la plus belle, c'est toi ! Beaux seigneurs et dames belles, aime, aime, dans vos atours de dentelles, Aimez-vous. Tirez les rideaux ! Qui voudra de mon âme? Aimez-vous ! Amours et baisers, la belle la plus belle c'est toi !
