Dans la forêt noire
Language: French (Français) after the Polish (Polski)
Dans la forêt noire, on abbat un chêne, mon Jeannot s'enrôle, et on me l'emmène. Mon Jeannot chemine par la vaste terre, et mes yeux en larmes ne le verront guère. Oh, mes yeux sont en larmes, mon cœur est en peine ! Mon bien-aimé chemine par la terre lointaine, par la terre lointaine !
