Si tu dors, jeune fille, Debout, debout! voici le soleil! Chasse de tes yeux l'indolent sommeil! C'est l'heure du réveil! Suis moi, vive et gentille! Pieds nus, viens! Les gazons sont verts! Les ruisseaux jaseurs par les bois déserts Promènent leurs flots clairs!

If you're sleeping, young maiden, Arise, arise! Here is the sun! Chase indolent sleep from your eyes! It's time to get up! Follow me, lively and sweet [girl]! Bare feet, come! The grass is green! The chattering streams traverse deserted woods With clear ripples!
