Enfant, rose, Fleur éclose, Fleur éclose au soleil de mes vingt ans; Ton sourire Que j'admire, Ton sourire est plus frais qu'un jour de printemps! De ta mère, Pour me plaire, Montre-moi lex yeux si doux! Ma fillette Joliette, Ma fillette, endors-toi sur mes genoux! Dieu te donne, Mignonne, Dieu te donne un bonheur fait de longs jours! Dors ma fille, Si gentille, Dors en paix, mon bel ange, endors-toi mes amours! Dors!
