Notre chaumière en Yveline
Language: French (Français)
Chaumière, vos parures sont marguerites, roses:
à vos pieds ces blancheurs, et sur vous ces couleurs.
Chaumière, la nature est bonne à quelque chose:
elle abrite os coeurs dans un bouquet de fleurs.
Chaumière, cela dure autant que le bonheur.

Our cottage in Yveline
Language: English after the French (Français)
Cottage, your ornaments are daisies, roses:
at your feet the white [flowers], and above you these colored [flowers].
Cottage, nature is good for something:
it shelters our hearts with a bouquet of flowers.
Cottage, these will last as long as happiness [lasts].
