Tout est ravi quand vient le Jour Dans les cieux flamboyants d'aurore. Sur la terre en fleur qu'il décore La joie immense est de retour. Les feuillages au pur contour Ont un bruissement sonore; Tout est ravi quand vient le Jour Dans les cieux flamboyants d'aurore. La chaumière comme la tour Dans la lumière se colore, L'eau murmure, la fleur adore, Les oiseaux chantent, fous d'amour. Tout est ravi quand vient le Jour.

Everything is ravishing when the day comes In the flaming sky of dawn. On the flowering land which it patterns The immense joy of the sun’s return. Foliage, in stark outline, Has a sonorous rustling; Everything is ravishing when the day comes In the flaming sky of dawn. The cottage, like the castle, Is coloured in the light, The water murmurs, the flower opens, The birds sing, mad with love. Everything is ravishing when the day comes.
