Les vendanges
Language: French (Français) 
Le voici venu, le mois des vendanges.
Hardi les garçons ! Allons, hors des granges !
Le temps est passé des jours paresseux.
Hardi les tendrons aux mines coquettes !
Laissons les fichus et les collerettes,
Et ne songeons plus aux beaux amoureux.

Cueillons les raisins, emplissons les cuves !
Que du vin naissant les tièdes effluves
Réveillent nos sens aux désirs lassés !
Autour du pressoir qui sonne en cadence,
Chantez les garçons ! Filles, à la danse !
Déroulez gaiment vos bras enlacés.

Aux feux du soleil de septembre,
La grappe de jais ou d'ambre
Mûrit sous les pampres ombreux ;
Et la Terre, fidèle amante,
Dans le sein du fruit qui fermente
Verse à flots un jus savoureux !

Cueillons les raisins, etc.
