Colibri
Language: French (Français) 
Gentil colibri,
o doux ami 
qui de loin m'appelle
je viens, me voici , 
o doux ami

Que n'ai-je tes ailes
Suivant dans les airs
De tes doux concerts
les accents fidèles
Je te poursuivrai
et je te dirai:

Gentil colibri
a doux ami
Qui de loin m'appelle
Je t'en supplie
Tout attendrie
Hélas, ne t'envole pas

Penchés tous les doux en amoureux
Sur la fleur qui tremble
Quel destin heureux
                               -- delicieux
de chanter ensemble
Quand la nuit vieudrait
Qu'elle émaillerait
Les vieux étincelles
Tu m'écouterais
je te chanterai:

Gentil colibri,
o doux ami 
qui de loin m'appelle
Je t'en supplie
Tout attendrie
Hélas, ne t'envole pas
