by Paul Arène (1843 - 1896)

L'air est si chaud que la cigale
Language: French (Français) 
L'air est si chaud que la cigale
La pauvre cigale frugale
Qui se régale de chansons
Ne fait plus entendre les sons
De sa chansonnette inégale.

En rêvant qu'elle agite encore
Ses petits tambourins de fée
Sur l'écorce des pins chauffée
Où pleure une résine d'or
Ivre de soleil elle dort.
