Le printemps chasse les hivers
Language: French (Français)
Le printemps chasse les hivers,
Et sourit dans les arbres verts;
Sous la feuille nouvelle
Passent des bruits d'aile!
Viens, suivons les sentiers ombreux,
Où s'égarent les amoureux;
Le printemps nous appelle,
Viens, soyons heureux.
Vois le soleil étincelle
Et sa clarté qui ruiselle
Me semble encor plus belle
Dans tes beaux yeux!
Viens, suivons les sentiers ombreux,
Où s'égarent les amoureux;
Le printemps nous appelle,
Viens, soyons heureux.
Que ta voix chante et se mêle
A l'harmonie éternelle;
Je crois entendre en elle
Chanter les cieux.
Viens, suivons les sentiers ombreux,
Où s'égarent les amoureux;
Le printemps nous appelle,
Viens, soyons heureux.

Spring chases the winters
Language: English after the French (Français)
Spring chases the winters,
And smiles in the green trees;
Beneath the new foliage
Comes the sound of wings!
Come, follow the shaded paths
Where lovers lose their way;
Spring calls us;
Come, let us be happy.
Look: the sun shines
And its brightness, which streams down,
Seems to me even more fair
In your beautiful eyes!
Come, follow the shaded paths
Where lovers lose their way;
Spring calls us;
Come, let us be happy.
How your voice sings and blends
With eternal harmony;
I think I hear in it
The singing of heaven.
Come, follow the shaded paths
Where lovers lose their way;
Spring calls us,
Come, let us be happy.
