by Lucien Paté (1845 - 1939)

Avril
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
L'oiseau gazouille, la feuille brille
Des frimas avril est vainqueur,
Et moi je t'aime, ô jeune fille,
C'est avril aussi dans mon cœur.
 
Les blés sont murs, le bois est sombre,
L'onde à peine a quelque fraicheur,
L'été partout fait chercher l'ombre,
C'est encore avril en mon cœur.

[...
...
...
...]

Le ciel est gris , la plaine est blanche,
L'hiver sévit dans sa rigueur,
Dans les monts rugit l'avalanche,
C'est toujours avril en mon cœur !
