Les boutons de roses rouges

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Les boutons de roses rouges
Annoncent déjà l'arrivée du printemps.
Les joues rouges comme des roses
Montrent le premier amour de la jeune fille.
Petit oiseau rouge,
Envole-toi vers la rose rouge !
Le garçon va caresser 
la jeune fille qui rougit.
