by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895 - 1952), as Paul Éluard

Saint Alban
Language: French (Français) 
L'eau dans les prés de la montagne
Continue à nos pieds de chanter mollementa
Il fait frais le soir tombe et nous réunissons
Nos yeux sur le chemin que nous savons par cœur

Nos jeunes amis nous attendent
Il fait bon vivre à la campagne
Nos feuilles vont regagner l'arbre
Notre herbe retrouver la nuit de sa croissance

Ce soir il y aura des rires quelques larmes
S'y mêleront l'amour baptisera la nuit
De noms nouveaux à la couleur de nos corps nus
Rose mettra son bonnet rouge

Blanche perdra son bonnet noir.
