by Léopold Dauphin (1847 - 1921)

Le rossignol des lilas
Language: French (Français) 
Our translations:  ENG
Ô premier rossignol qui viens
Dans les lilas, sous ma fenêtre,
Ta voix m'est douce à reconnaître !
Nul accent n'est semblable au tien !

Fidèle aux amoureux liens,
Trille encor, divin petit être !
Ô premier rossignol qui viens
Dans les lilas, sous ma fenêtre !

Nocturne ou matinal, combien
Ton hymne à l'amour me pénètre !
Tant d'ardeur fait en moi renaître
L'écho de mes avrils anciens,
Ô premier rossignol qui viens !
