De ma belle aujourd'hui c'est la noce ;...
Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)
De ma belle aujourd'hui c'est la noce ; -- on entend Le bal triomphant qui commence; Elle y danse, folâtre, et l'orchestre éclatant Excite sa valse en démence. Et cymbales, clairons, langoureux violons, Et fifres moqueurs qui sifflottent ; À travers leurs doux sons emplissant les salons Les bons petits anges sanglottent.
