Le Suisse en Italie
Language: French (Français) 
Belle Italie, 
de ton ciel pûr j'ai connu les plaisirs ;
mais ma patrie,
mon Helvetie,
fait naître mes soupirs !
Aux barcaroles
de tes gondoles
combien je préférais les airs de nos châlets !
Lalala ...

Naples la fiére,
de tes palais j'admire la splendeur ;
mais de ma mère
l'humble chaumière
l'laisait mieux à mon cœur.
À tes prairies
toujours fleuries,
combien je préférais l'hyver de nos châlets !
Lalala ...

Chère patrie,
mon seul regret et mon plus doux espoir !
Sans toi ma vie
tombe flétrie :
Ne dois-je plus vous voir 
belles campagnes,
blanches montagnes
où jadis je chantais les airs de nos châlets ?
Lalala ...
