by Marc-Antoine Madeleine Désaugiers (1772 - 1827)

Enfants de la folie
Language: French (Français) 
Enfants de la folie
  Chantons ;
Sur les maux de la vie
  Glissons ;
Plaisir jamais ne coûte
  De pleurs ;
Il sème notre route
  De fleurs.

Oui, portons son délire
  Partout.
Le bonheur est de rire
  De tout ;
Pour être aimé des belles, 
  Aimons ;
Un beau jour changent-elles, 
  Changeons.

Déjà l'hiver de l'âge
  Accourt ;
Profitons d'un passage
  Si court ;
L'avenir peut-il être
  Certain ?
Nous finirons peut-être
  Demain.
