from Volkslieder (Folksongs)

Le rosier d'argent
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Où est mon amant, à l’heure de maintenant?
Il est à Paris, ou bien à Orléans.
Refrain
   Où est-il, ce rosier blanc,
   Qui fleurit en boutons d’argent?

Il est à Paris, ou bien à Orléans;
Il apprend à faire des anneaux d’argent.
(Refrain)

Il apprend à faire des anneaux d’argent;
Le premier qu’il fit, il m’en a fait présent.
(Refrain)

Le premier qu’il fit, il m’en a fait présent;
Il me l’a mis au doigt, il y resta sept ans.
(Refrain)

Il me l’a mis au doigt, il y resta sept ans,
Au bout des sept ans, voilà l’anneau qui fend.
(Refrain)

L’anneau est fendu, nos amours sont perdus;
L’anneau est r’soudé, nos amours sont r’trouvés.
(Refrain)
