Dans le brouillard s'en vont un paysan cagneux Et son bœuf lentement dans le brouillard d'automne Qui cache les hameaux pauvres et vergogneux En s'en allant là-bas le paysan chantonne Une chanson d'amour et d'infidélité Qui parle d'une bague et d'un cœur que l'on brise Oh! l'automne, l'automne à fait mourir l'été Dans le brouillard s'en vont deux silhouettes grises
