Lève-toi! lève-toi! le printemps vient de naître! Là-bas, sur les vallons, flotte un réseau vermeil! Tout frissonne au jardin, tout chante et ta fenêtre, Comme un regard joyeux, est pleine de soleil! Du côté des lilas aux touffes violettes, Mouches et papillons bruissent à la fois Et le muguet sauvage, ébranlant ses clochettes, A réveillé l'amour endormi dans les bois! Puisqu'Avril a semé ses marguerites blanches, Laisse ta mante lourde et ton manchon frileux, Déjà l'oiseau t'appelle et tes soeurs les pervenches Te souriront dans l'herbe en voyant tes yeux bleus! Viens, partons! au matin, la source est plus limpide; Lève-toi! viens, partons! N'attendons pas du jour les brûlantes chaleurs; Je veux mouiller mes pieds dans la rosée humide, Et te parler d'amour sous les poiriers en fleurs.

起來吧,春天剛剛出生了! 降臨在山谷之間,漫遊於紅網之中, 花園裡,萬物驚動,齊聲歌唱,你的窗前, 如同閃爍著喜樂的凝視,充滿著陽光! 紫丁花叢中, 蟲兒與蝶兒一起裡外鑽動, 這片野生的紫丁花谷, 正搖動著它們的小鈴鐺1, 喚醒沉睡於樹林中的愛神! 即然四月裡撒種萌芽的白色小雛菊, 脫去厚重的外衣, 及溫暖的手套; 鳥兒們正在呼喚你, 姐妹淘般的常春花兒 正以湛藍的眼睛自草原上微笑地望著你! 走吧,啟程吧!於晨間,溪水更加清澈透明; 起來吧!來吧,啟程!不要枯等炙日燃烈的熱氣; 我要以晨珠濕潤我的雙足, 在梨花樹下跟你細訴愛語!
