Le Jour

Language: French (Français)

Our translations: ENG

Tout est ravi quand vient le Jour
Dans les cieux flamboyants d'aurore.
Sur la terre en fleur qu'il décore
La joie immense est de retour.

Les feuillages au pur contour
Ont un bruissement sonore;
Tout est ravi quand vient le Jour
Dans les cieux flamboyants d'aurore.

La chaumière comme la tour
Dans la lumière se colore,
L'eau murmure, la fleur adore,
Les oiseaux chantent, fous d'amour.
Tout est ravi quand vient le Jour.
