Quand je vais au jardin, au jardin...
Language: French (Français)
Quand je vais au jardin, [au jardin]1 d’amour,
La tourterelle gémit,
En son langage me dit :
Voici la fin du jour,
Et le loup vous guette,
Ma jeune fillette,
En ce séjour…
Quand je vais au jardin, [au jardin]1 d’amour.
Quand je vais au jardin, [au jardin]1n d’amour,
Les fleurs se penchent vers moi,
Me disent : N’ayez pas d’effroi,
Voici la fin du jour…
Et celui qu’on aime
Va venir de même
En ce séjour,
Quand je vais au jardin, [au jardin]1 d’amour.
Quand je vais au jardin, [au jardin]1 d’amour,
Je crois entendre des pas,
Je veux fuir et n’ose pas,
Voici la fin du jour…
Je crains et j’hésite,
Mon cœur bat plus vite
En ce séjour,
Quand je vais au jardin, [au jardin]1 d’amour.

The garden of love
Language: English after the French (Français)
When I go to the garden, to the garden of love,
The turtledove moans,
In his language he tells me:
Here is the end of the day,
And the wolf is watching you,
My young little girl…
In this sojourn…
When I go to the garden, to the garden of love.
When I go to the garden, to the garden of love,
The flowers lean toward me,
They tell me: Have no fear,
Here is the end of the day…
And the one you love
Will come also
In this sojourn,
When I go to the garden, to the garden of love.
When I go to the garden, to the garden of love,
I think [I] hear footsteps,
I want to flee [but] I do not dare,
Here is the end of the day…
I am afraid and I hesitate,
My heart beats more quickly
In this sojourn…
When I go to the garden, to the garden of love.
