Le soleil monte et brûle
Language: French (Français)
Our translations: ENG
Le soleil monte et brûle Le sable au bord des mers, L'ardente canicule Flétrit les gazons verts. Fuyons ô ma compagne! La chaleur qui nous gagne Au pied de la montagne Où dans les ruisseaux clairs Au bruit de l'eau sonore Tombant de mon amphore Mes deux yeux vont se clore Sur un lit de roseaux. Le soleil monte monte et brûle Le sable au bord des mers, Fuyons vers la montagne Où dans les ruisseaux clairs.
