by Georges Delaquys (1880 - 1970)

Chanson
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG SPA
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 !
