by Jean Richepin (1849 - 1926)

Ohé ! la belle, en vous levant
Language: French (Français) 
Ohé ! la belle, en vous levant,
Entendez-vous chanter le vent 
  Dans les premières pousses ?
Il dit que le vieux temps est feu 
Où l'on reste devant son feu
  A se tourner les pouces ;

Il dit que les lilas sont las 
De t'attendre, car les lilas 
  Sont pour que tu les cueilles ; 
Il dit que c'est le bon moment 
Pour venir rapprendre comment 
  Est fait l'envers des feuilles.
